Hosted at the Villa Vecchia estate of Norma Quintero in Miami, designer Shay Todd showcased her 2012 Resort and Swimwear collection to editors, bloggers, fashion fans, socialites and celeb gal pals, Maria Menounos and Adrienne Bailon. The runway models channeled Princess Laia braids with 70’s inspired runway looks such as cover-ups, drapey cowl-necks and kaftans in muted earth-tones with splashes of deep reds.
Backstage at the Shay Todd show, Maria Menounos told the designer that she was “excited about the Shay Todd hip hugging bathing suit bottoms that closely resembled her favorite hanky panky underwear brand.” The Access Hollywood star then proceeded to lift her little black dress to expose her hip hugging underwear for the designer to see.
At the close of the show, designer Shay Todd sported a “proud mom” kind of smile as she walked down her runway closing off of her successful Miami Swim Week runway show.
