Reporting From Brazil: Rosa Cha's Retro-Glam Swimwear

11:55 AM, January 19 2010 by Melissa Lum

Lucky accessories editor Melissa Lum files from the top shows at Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

I can't think of a better setting for Rosa Cha's winter collection than Sao Paulo Fashion Week. Designer Alexandre Herchcovitch took swimwear to a new level with a collection that truly merges fashion and swim.

Models walked the runway in neoprene swim caps, lingerie-inspired two-pieces, and digital-print bodysuits. The boudoir looks were an homage to the past with high-waisted girdle-ish bottoms and pin-up girl tops with vintage-like lace detailing. If it's way too cold for you to even think about putting on a bikini, Rosa Cha will have you considering this long sleeve one-piece complete with peaked shoulder embellishments.
