Lisa Maree-Kooey-Aquarella & Lisa Blue Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim 2011








MIAMI (July 19,2010)-So Seductive Cosmetics was invited to attened the group showing of swimwear designers Lisa Maree-Kooey-Aquarella & Lisa Blue in Miami. Aquarella Swimwear is a fun and fashionable swimwear brand with innovative style and sophistication, the collection combines couture quality and style with superb comfort and fit. With a new designer, Véronique de la Cruz, at the helm, the 2011 collection is indeed theatrical and its goal is to make every woman feel sexy and sophisticated. Having grown up with and currently living in a community that takes swimwear fashion very seriously, De la Cruz developed a swimwear collection that is fresh and youthful and exudes a lavish lifestyle accompanied with an affordable price point.

Kooey Swimwear Australia, An inspirational story in itself... The Kooey Swimwear label started off in a backard in Broome where swimsuits were made for friends, family and particularly the tourists asked where the swimsuit was made -- that started a process where the founder was making swimsuits at night and taking them to the Broome markets where they would sell out within minutes -- so much so that she stopped going to the markets and just put a picture up on ebay and sold them that way. The swimwear became so popular with the tourists because they wanted to bring back something that was not only Australian but was beautiful and stylish -- and Kooey's signature print blends the colours of Australian flora with her indigenous culture - well that's how it all began.

Lisa Blue from Australia brings her unique and beautiful swimwear collection to the U.S. for the first time. With designs ranging from striking authentic, Australian Aboriginal style prints to hot sexy Renaissance art mixed with French lace, the collection epitomizes femininity. Lisa Blue is a pioneer in combining beautiful fashion together with a cause to help preserve our marine environment. Twenty five percent (25%) of the net profit for Lisa Blue is donated towards helping protect the whales and dolphins.

Lisa Maree is a fresh new label launched in 2009 by model Lisa Maree that personifies Australia's beach culture and the spirit of the summer. The Spring/Summer 2010 and stateside debut collection, 'Where the Wanderers Go,' embodies the different personalities of Bondi Beach by crossing sports luxe with resort glam. The range offers a playful array of cut-away monokinis, triangle top bikinis and Boho chic cover-ups. Lisa Maree's signature retro crochets are seen throughout the collection; with the addition of tie-dyed prints, metallic threading, beading and pure silk kaftans.
