There's no question that there's nothing like a Brazilian bikini -- but this might just prove it. Over 1.6 million people have checked out Bikini.com's video covering the swimwear collection from Cia Maritima, making it one of the most popular swimsuit fashion show videos ever viewed on YouTube!
Considered the hottest and most sought after swimwear line in Brazil, Cia. Maritima was launched by Benny Rosset in 1990. Benny, Henrique’s grandson, is known for his quiet demeanor, impeccable ethics and passion for a swimwear collection that is undoubtedly the most sophisticated found on the sultry beaches of Brazil. In its shows, the collection has been worn by the world's top models including Giselle Bundchen, Naomi Campbell, Karolina Kurkova and many others. The swimwear has also been seen on the beach on such celebrities as Blake Lively, Whitney Port and Denise Richards.
This season’s collection draws its inspiration from Morocco and its rich combination of earthy tones, eye-catching jewels and bohemian luxuries. Offering metal and mother-of-pearl trimmings, rich prints and colorful embroidery, the new collection is defined by Benny as "vintage beach chic." Designer Yves Saint Laurent, who in the 1960s adopted Morocco as a second homeland, fueled the season's passion for Moroccan culture. The collection's bikinis and range of cover-ups - from kaftans to harem pants to tunics - can all be traced to styles made popular by the two fashion icons. Colors match the exotic hues found in the silks, jewels and metalworks of the Moroccan markets.
