AQUALARA
spring/summer 2006
Aqualara puts together
a sprightly swim collection for 2006, showing that a little colour can
go a long way.
The pink and white
two-piece bikinis are bedecked with frills and ruffled contours, with
some chino pants for when the clouds darken that beach holiday. Using
solid colours like this helps to strengthen the look of this fledgling
label. Who knew that brown and jade green were such close cousins? Aqualara
knew it all along, using them with geometrical spunk on one-pieces that
defy category, even if they are a touch busy. Stripy red is the choice
for the more diverse offerings, which includes a piece that could double
as a spring dress if it had a bit more fabric.
Kudos to Aqualara
for pulling off a focused collection that was still varied, even if
some of the silhouette experiments don't work so well, being too clunky
or fragmented.
