STORYLINE SALINAS SWIMWEAR SHOW AT FASHION RIO Palm trees outside Fashion Rio indicated a tropical location, yet on the catwalk of the Salinas show on Fashion Rio's fourth day, it felt like Capri. The beachwear label finally revealed its much-anticipated summer 2013-2014 collection. Inspired by late 1950's Italian movies, Salinas creative director Jacqueline di Biase impressed all with pieces reflecting the Dolce Vita on the Amalfi coast. The swimsuits varied in prints and styles, but Biase mostly played with variations of Sicilian lemons and marine hues as well as some geometrical strokes. With more sensual shapes such as structured demi-cup bras, one could imagine Monica Belucci at the beach. "It's something we hadn't done in a long time," confessed di Biase, who was not scared of leaving the exotic stereotype that Brazilian brands sometimes accommodate to. Salinas is one of the pioneers of Brazilian swimwear since 1982 when Biase and her husband founded the label. In 1997 Salinas became global after Tyra Banks appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Soon even Madonna wore Salinas while on vacation in the Caribbean. Unlike Rosa Ch� or Lenny Niemeyer bikinis, Salinas is still very accessible and offers a wide variety of patterns and shapes. Customers are free to mix and match tops and bottoms to create their own combination. At the show, this versatility could be seen in the variety of shapes and patterns. To bring everything together, straw hats and heels brought harmony to the collection. To the sound of Americano and Volare and Mambo Italiano the atmosphere was set for the trip quick trip to Italy. "I found the show incredible," said Lara Duarte, a Brazilian fashion columnist who swears by Salinas.
