Designer Paola Robba showcased her line, Poko Pano at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2013 at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami and the crowd was in awe of her gorgeous collection. Going along with the Brazilian way of thinking, the brand likes to mix and match tops and bottoms from the collection, making each get-up unique and its own. Models also walked the runway in unique and interesting necklaces that added extra oomph to the suits.
With a line full of swimsuits and separates, many pieces stood out to me while watching this stunning show. I absolutely adored the tiny bottoms that tied only on one side-the prints were beyond fabulous. Also, even her simple pieces (no patterns) were unique in their own way, whether it was because of their beautiful hues or because of the shape and way that it tied. On top of the beautiful nature-inspired prints, Robba used metallic colors in some of her styles, and although it was basic, the styles made them exceptional. I was impressed by the Missoni-stripe style pieces as well, they appeared in numerous shapes and styles, and the colors they were comprised of worked beautifully. My absolute favorite suit was a simple white one piece with crème colored birds in flight on the front. It was simple, but so beautiful at the same time. – it was also shown in a two-piece with a higher cut bottom and a crisscross top. With simple hues, intricate detailing, bows, ruffles, and crochet, this collection is suited for any woman, any where, that is any size- it truly is universal.
Cover-ups were beautiful and unique as well. Robba used florals, coral hues, and sunny, bright colors to make her designs stand out, and even included a mod-style white dress linked with white discs. Her cover-ups were so fascinating that rather than being worn to cover-up a bikini, they could be worn out and for so much more. A white jumpsuit in particular, stood out to me. It was low cut, with a metal-style belt on the front and was beyond beautiful with the models simple makeup and pulled back hair.
Poko Pano’s collection was deserving of all the attention in the world. The line was beautiful, well constructed, and put together with perfect jewelry, and basic makeup and hair, allowing the collection to really standout…which it definitely did.
