Miami - Mercedes Benz Fashion Week has kick started. And it sizzles with bikini fashion galore, direct off the runway.

Luli Fama swimwear 2009 collection by designer Lourdes Hanimian during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim show in Miami July 20 2008.

The designs for next season are fun and full of bold prints and exotic cuts and patterns. This one piece bikini ensemble exudes sexy and fun chic. As well as having the hip hugging buckle accent and gold circle chain necklace. Now I actually love this piece. It combines both the bikini and swimsuit. Now that is clever design, accenting the best of both worlds -”the bikini-suit”.

Lourdes Hanimian keeps colors bold, red, and very direct

Red’s keep the bikini very attractive and direct. The bikini is also accented with gold hoops and ties. I love this piece, and the bright color is perfect for the season.
