Poco Pano - Miami Swim 2012

Designer Paola Robba, designer of Poko Pano, will present Spring/Summer 2012 collection inspired by Brazil and its traditional colors, symbols, plant and wildlife. The 40-piece collection of swimwear and beach apparel is inspired by a timeless theme of the Amazons natural surroundings and includes bikinis, kaftans, mini dresses, shirts, skirts and pantaloon pants. The color palette introduces yellow, brown, red, and green, turquoise, black and white. Reminiscent of the postcard of global tourism. The collection features exotic prints influenced by the Amazonian flora and fauna including bromeliad and giant water lily and tropical delicacies such as guarana, buriti, and pineapple. Paola pays homage to the regions nearly extinct animal life by incorporating the multicolored plume of feathers found on arara birds, the velvety coats of a jaguar and vibrant scales of river species. The brands identity is instantly recognizable for their use of macramé texture, a traditional handicraft by Amazon natives. Highlights from the collection consist of unique elements such as handmade metals, and mixed textures along with the innovative Brazilian handiwork including embroidery and needlepoint blended with local raw material. Each suit is modern and minimalist and designed with exclusive, high-tech fabrics to provide durability and comfort.
