Miami, FL – August 5, 2012 – Kristin Gilliam, designer and creator of Karess Swimwear, hosted a fashion show to celebrate her new 2013 “Aqua Flow” Swimwear Collection. The event was held in the exclusive Palm Terrace Floor at the luxurious Mayfair Hotel & Spa in Miami, Fl. Attendees were welcomed with complimentary drinks, sweet treats and mini massages courtesy of Jurlique Spa.

A special performance by MTV’s U4RIA Dance Crew set up a perfect intro to the focus of the event: the Aqua Flow 2013 Collection. The fashion show closed with a raffle of two gift baskets, with prizes including a Jaguar Restaurant gift card and Mirta de Perales Couture products. Following the end of the show, guests were invited to join the after-shine party on the Rooftop Pool Bar & Grill, and mingle with the designer and models.

As an effort to improve the life, love and happiness globally, Karess is devoted to donating a percentage of each purchase of a “Karess Love” suit to a charity or foundation that correlates with the collection’s theme. For this occasion, Kristin Gilliam has teamed-up with The Water Project, a non-profit organization committed to providing clean water to communities around the globe.
