Miami Swim Cruise 13: Aqua Di Lara

Swimsuit silhouettes typically rely on classic shapes, but Montreal-based Aqua Di Lara stressed some new looks with its Cruise 2013 line, which took a bow at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim on July 21.

The 45-look show displayed some of Aqua Di Lara’s “Briella” tops, which emphasize cups cut in a square shape, not the circle shapes on many swimsuit tops. The line also focused on more maillots, said Reyhan Sofraci, the line’s designer. “I wanted to make one-pieces sexy this year,” she said. Those looks included a one-piece with a modern art print, as well as one-pieces made risqué with various cutout panels.
