New York Fashion Week: The Lake and Stars

I reviewed The Lake & Stars' Spring/Summer 2012 presentation on the DailyCandy Tumblr, but I had to share a few extra photos with Style of a 20 Something readers.

The collection was striking. Inspired by the culture and color palette of Mexico City, design duo Maayan Zilberman and Nikki Dekker created bold, yet feminine lingerie, swimwear, and for the first time, lounge wear. I loved the red and black bikini on the left--it was by far my favorite piece in the collection!

The styling for this show kept with the beachy inspiration. Each girl sported a center part, with hair slicked back into an intricate looped braid. Makeup was kept simple with dewy cheeks and a natural color palette.

Le Doux Brazilian Swimwear Line

Co-founded in 2005 by mother/daughter team Juliana and Marly Renz, Le Doux combines Brazilian sexiness and the relaxed Californian lifestyle to create an amazing swimwear collection for Summer 2007. Originally hailing from the beaches of Brazil, Juliana and Marly set out to develop a line which captures the Brazilian essence and style while “adding a little extra fabric” to meet the demand of the American customer. Designed in their Beverly Hills studio, all suits are manufactured in their own facility in Brazil by a team of expert seamstresses. All styles are made in either crochet or lycra fabric, and hand-embellished using beautiful semi-precious stones, crystals, wood, shells, mother of pearl, or embroidery.

This blah winter weather has me so ready for summer...luckily, LeFashionista has some new fun playclothes to ring in that warm weather. However, these styles are not your run-of-the-mill, "Yeah, I got it at Urban Outfitters/Target/Old Navy" pieces.

Get your short shorts on with New York Couture's one of a kind Lace Layered Shorts. Available in size S/M in a variety of color combinations (Turquoise with Green Lace, Baby Blue with Light Pink Lace, you name it, they have a color combo for you.) We also love New York Couture's Gaucho Pants in a variety of vintage patterns.

The truly daring fashionista will love Geftaki's one piece Gemstone swimsuit, available in Sailor and Creamsicle colors. One part Sofia Loren retro-chic, one part new age fashionista.
