Take a digital backdrop streaming scenes of waves and sand, add swag bags with beach towels, parade out the scantily-clad bods, and you’ve got Tosca Delfino‘s Spring 2012 lesson in island chic. Basic bathers everywhere were put to swimsuit shame with models walking down the runway in accessorized bikini combos and high cut one-piece suits. Bracelets, belts, and woven hats accompanied sheer gauzy cover-ups, transforming the notion of swimwear into a complete head-to-toe look. Printed whales on navy bottoms, elephants on a faded yellow top, and—in the name of CanadaCool—a one-piece adorned with a print of the Toronto cityscape. (Where’s Drake when you need him…)
