Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SWIM Runway: Red Carter
Posted in: Uncategorized  | A swimsuit is a swimsuit is a swimsuit, right? Not if it’s a Red Carter design! They challenge your idea of a conventional one-piece or bikini and have you lusting after the interesting and daring details of their suits. Red Carter isn’t tentative or apologetic about there extreme and avant-garde details that have never been seen on any other swimwear. There are, of course, colorful and lively patterns that stimulate the eye, but it is the over-sized asymmetrical ruffles or Renaissance-inspired Leg-o’ Mutton sleeves that are the real attention getting pieces. It is the tailored feel and the emphasized princess seams or the pleather and feathers on 1920’s inspired cuts and lines that make you sit up a little straighter and stare a little longer. Barely there metallics and reversed-cowl necks could cause double-takes and possibly neck injuries! Beach coverings were just as extravagant and featured ties at the waist, bold patterns and colors, pleated detailing and very current runway silhouettes. One could imagine many of the pieces translating easily into a more professional setting. Men in speedos and barely there briefs have never been my thing, but if all men looked like the male models did in Red Carters solidly colored “trunks” of red, white and black, then I may just have to re-think my stance!
