Miami Swim Week Cruise 2011: Cosmo Summer Splash

Cosmopolitan En Espanol kicked off the festivities at Miami Swim Week with a cocktail party and runway show at The Setai hotel. “Cosmo Summer Splash,” held on July 14, presented a range of chic looks from retailers and designers for the upcoming season. Styles ranged from value options at Kmart and Sears to boutique designer collections by Be Seduced, Ashley Paige, Iemangaacute; Swimwear and Charlie by Matthew Zink. Key trends for swimwear included ruffled bikinis, high-waisted bottoms, animal prints, ’70s glam and feminine crochet knits. To complement the swimwear, there were plenty of chic ready-to-wear pieces, such as denim shorts, rompers, safari dresses and oversize jumpsuits.—N. Jayne Seward
