Twinning Blue Caftans with Editor Katie Van Luchene |
The Runway on the Pool offered 365 degree views for everyone. While there were the customary rows on one side, there were some who stretched out in the Cabanas, while there were some others who bagged the best viewing spot from the bar at the fourth end.
Jenna Sea Swimwear |
JennaSea Swimwear kickstarted the evening's shows. Corals and jewel tones played along with pretty neutrals. But the fact that she had swimwear for every body type, surely struck a chord. Being a mom to a toddler, I know how difficult it can be sometimes to shop for swimwear, for Mommy bodies at times . From bikinis, to tankinis, to flowy sarongs and beautiful and flattering one pieces, I loved the diversity of her collection. I am a total water baby, and so I know where to head next time I want to shop. Clearly my top pick for the night.
"Florals for Spring? How Original !!" ... Miranda Priestly, in The Devil Wears Prada.
But somehow how florals seemed to work for Zafar. The collection had some old school touches to it, with its skirts and jackets. But the color palette was very modern. Especially the way the designer brought in accent prices like a coral and nude pair of shoes or a cherry red handbag, made it all work pretty well.
Mary Mwash Collections took us on a trip to the Serengeti. Her collection was inspired by the colors of the Safari. Mustard yellow, olive greens and tan splashed across our eyes, in structured outfits. From kids, to men to the ladies, who want to look all fashionable while on a Safari, she seemed to have it all. Not exactly a fan of this palette.
Lastly, KC's Garment District Boutique took to the runway, and brought in some Fall in an otherwise Spring Summer fashion show. They showed off pieces from their latest collection. Ankle Booties, flowy jumpsuits, plaid and Stripes took centre stage.
The runway shows wrapped to set the party roll on. It was time to mingle some more and let the hair down.
