MIAMI (SMI-WIRE,07.16-07.19.15)Tori Traver, an American fashion model known for her appearances in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition as well as being the Global Ambassador for Billabong, made her debut as a Swimwear designer at Swim-Week Miami 2016 with her collection entitled " Sonora Sun ".Inspired by travels through out Mexico, and reaching down into South America,Tori Praver Swimwear’s Resort collection embodies the spirit of rich Latin landscapes that the designer, Tori Praver, grew an appreciation for over years of traveling to these often remote and exotic locales. Whether for a weekend get-a-way to a unique surf-spot or traveling to these eye-catching locations for modeling shoots, Tori Praver, began collecting and cataloging this inspiration.  The designer releases her 2016 resort collection building from this motif that is rooted with cacti, succulents and snakes while contrasted with calming motifs of waves, shore breaks and beaches.  The color palette is robust, with deep, rich cactus greens and sangria purples, which are infused with light and natural colors in sky blue and nude.

The inspiration for the collection went beyond the color palette, prints and patterns, and includes a special take on the designer’s signature ruching technique. The Resort 2016 collection introduces a special fabric blocking that utilizes a mixture of solid and ruched fabric to create patterns and shapes that drive from the season’s inspiration. 

Completing the look of the 2016 Women’s Resort Collection is a complete line of ready-to-wear inclusive of maxi dresses, kimonos, chic tops, and versatile bottoms. 

“I am pleased to further expand upon the success of our women’s ready-to-wear line for the Resort 2016 season.  Each piece was thoughtfully designed for versatility, style and ease.  I want to design wearable pieces that enhance and accommodate a busy woman’s lifestyle; whether for travel, work or play,” says Designer, Tori.
