Melissa Rocks Miami Swimwear at the W Hotel

On Friday 16th July Melissa Odabash unveiled her latest 2011 swimwear and ready-to-wear collection on the reunway in Miami hosted by the W South Beach. As well as the latest collection, she also debuted exclusive pieces for the upcoming W Vieques Global Glam Resort collection.

The 2011 collection consisted of her trademark animal prints, bejewelled swimsuits and vintage prints. 'I tried to do a collection you can wear whether you're in St Tropez or in the Hamptons', Odabash explained. 'You don't have to only be from Europe to wear my (designs), so I try to include a little bit for everybody,' she added.


Actress Lindsay Price, model and designer India Hicks, Paul Barcadi, LA Socialites Jill Roberts and Sarah Emanuel, Dee Poon, Susanne Birbragher, Vogue Latino America's Eva Hughes and Ocean Drive's Suzy Buckley and Food Network star Ingrid Hoffman were all in attendance to celebrate Melissa's Swim Week debut.

After the show in the penthouse high above the surf a private dinner was held to toast Melissa and celebrate the new Melissa Odabash W Vieques Global Glam Resort collection. Whilst guests sipped Grey Goose Vodka cocktails and champagne, W's Global Music Director, Michaelangelo L'Acqua, spun tunes from the recently launched Symmentry CD.
