Miami Swim Cruise 13: Red Carter
Red Carter is known for his over-the-top runway presentations, and this season he didn’t disappoint. Inspired by the glitz and glamour of famed ’70s discotheque Studio 54, Carter sent disco balls, foiled psychedelic prints and color-blocked showgirl looks down the runway—complete with cone hats and feather regalia. The show was held on July 22 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. It served as a relaunch for Carter’s namesake collection and presentation of Resort ’13 following his recent move to New York, where he partnered with the Amerex Group. Sexy corset tops paired with strappy bottoms, ruffles cascaded down necklines, and elaborate art deco and Aztec prints decorated one-pieces. Details were key, such as beading, geometric hardware and intricate lattice work.
