Beach Bunny Swimwear: Mercedes-Benz Miami Fashion Week Swim 2011

Model turned designer Angela Chittenden presented her Beach Bunny Swimwear 2011 collection during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (MBFW) Swim at the Raleigh on July 16, 2010 in Miami Beach, Florida.

This season the show made new waves with their sexy bikinis, hot one-pieces and sizzling loungewear.

In the signature style of Beach Bunny, voluptuous models strutted their stuff presenting the new looks that were tastefully enticing and feminine, with details such as jewels, lace, snakeskin prints, fringes, cutouts and ruching.

Solid, vibrant shades of purple and turquoise ruled the color hue. Some of the designs had glossy look of leather.

The show included designs from Kardashians for Beach Bunny Swimwear 2011 collection, developed in collaboration with Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian Odom.

Kourtney, Kim and Khloé, along with the teen star Selena Gomez, watched some of the world's top supermodels, including Sports Illustrated's Jessica White and Chrissy Teigen, scorch the runway in their debut collection.

"Even though Beach Bunny Swimwear has its own established collection, we each wanted to make sure we put our own twist on it and each were separated by our own personalities," Kim Kardashian said before the show.

Kim's Divinity collection includes tie-sides which are her favorite bottoms to wear that are accented with copper hardware to make it more glam.

Her sister Kourtney Kardashian went with the nautical look in her Sailor Chic collection which gives a Modern Day twist to the typical nautical theme with pieces in navy, white and solid orange. As a new mom, Kourtney wanted to design pieces that were sexy but still practical for chasing after her son Mason.

Khloé Kardashian Odom said she wanted pieces that were "fun, but a lot of coverage and still really young and sexy." Her Modern Majestic collection incorporates her favorite color purple and snake print that adds some flair. Khloé said her favorite design was a cool gun metal one-piece that looks like it has been shredded but still covers all the right areas.

The Kardashians for Beach Bunny Swimwear 2011 collection will have several release dates throughout the year with its first delivery scheduled for October 1, 2010. All designs from the Kardashian's collection will retail for $175 and will be sold on beachbunnyswimwear.com in addition to retail stores worldwide.

Angela Chittenden, who modeled swimsuits for several top magazines and catalogues and is based in Newport Beach, California, launched her own line of swimwear, Beach Bunny Swimwear in 2004.

With its unique concept of lingerie inspired designs, Beach Bunny Swimwear has graced the pages of Sports Illustrated, USA Today, US Weekly, Ocean Drive, Fitness RX, California Apparel News, Men's Edge, Essence, Stuff, FHM, Orange Coast, Riviera and Best Body.
