Based upon the above quote, it’s no wonder when looking at the Aqua Di Lara™ line one can see the many influences. In 2007, Sofraci was honored with the award “Fashion Designer of the Year” by Institut de Design Montréal. This award-winner designer recently showed her newest collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim 2013.

There’s nothing like being the opening act. Lisa Blue “Call of the Whale” set a high bar for shows to follow the entire week during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim 2013. Designer Lisa Burke has a passion for the gentle giants of the ocean. Her plea to help save the whale is a moving testimony of her dedication to this endangered species and a clear motivator when creating her stunning swimwear collections every season.

The Lycra XtraLife fashion show was presented on July 21, 2012, at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami Beach. There were three themes (LILY PAD, DESERT, and WINTER) with designs by Sauvage, Gottex, Maaji, Cia Maritima, Agua de Coco por Liana, etc.
