Model turned designer Angela Chittenden presented her Beach Bunny Swimwear 2011 collection during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim at the Raleigh in Miami Beach, Florida. This season the show made new waves with their sexy bikinis, hot one-pieces and sizzling loungewear. In the signature style of Beach Bunny, voluptuous models strutted their stuff presenting the new looks that were tastefully enticing and feminine, with details such as jewels, lace, snakeskin prints, fringes, cutouts and ruching.
Solid, vibrant shades of purple and turquoise ruled the color hue. Some of the designs had a glossy look of leather. The show included designs from the Kardashians for Beach Bunny Swimwear 2011 collection, developed in collaboration with Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian Odom.
Kourtney, Kim and Khloé, along with the teen star Selena Gomez, watched some of the world’s top supermodels, including Sports Illustrated’s Jessica White and Chrissy Teigen scorch the runway in their debut collection.
“Even though Beach Bunny Swimwear has its own established collection, we each wanted to make sure we put our own twist on it and each were separated by our own personalities,” Kim Kardashian said before the show.
Her sister Kourtney Kardashian went with the nautical look in her Sailor Chic collection which gives a Modern Day twist to the typical nautical theme with pieces in navy, white and solid orange. As a new mom, Kourtney wanted to design pieces that were sexy but still practical for chasing after her son Mason.
Khloé Kardashian Odom said she wanted pieces that were “fun, but a lot of coverage and still really young and sexy.” Her Modern Majestic collection incorporates her favorite color purple and snake print that adds some flair. Khloé said her favorite design was a cool gun metal one-piece that looks like it has been shredded but still covers all the right areas.
Beach Bunny Swimwear’s clients include celebrities like Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Kim Kardashian, Ashley Tisdale, Jessica Simpson, Salma Hayek, Sienna Miller, and Eva Longoria Parker.
