Summer 2017 – the Amazon

One of South America’s great natural treasures, the Amazon region, covers countries such as Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. For its summer 2017 collection, Água de Coco by Liana Thomaz researched the traditions, flora, fauna, and architecture of these regions which despite their differences feature the rich cultural heritage of the world’s largest forest.

Amazon birds’ color palette is made up of raw basic hues, alluding to straw and emphasizing the multi-colored birds of the Amazon fauna. All embroideries are made by hand with mix of materials that provides the pieces with a wide range of colors and textures. The shapes of that section are rather straight and structured.

Resort 2017 - The Maldives

The Maldives, in the Indian Ocean, is the inspiring scenery for the first Resort collection of Água de Coco by Liana Thomaz – which travels to that group of islands and brings the local tropical richness, linked to its sophisticated beachwear. Thinking about summer all over the year, the brand included one more collection in its portfolio, which this season will feature plenty of colors, and outstanding foliage and floral patterns, in addition to shapes with a sport mood, making of its collection a real show, which takes place in a bungalow near the turquoise water beaches of those islands.

Vintage Beach

Inspired in the islands’ fauna and flora, the sophisticated print features handmade overlays and details, such as trinkets using glass beads and thread. The use of silk brought a satin aspect, conferring a golden shine to the pieces that reminds of the Maldives sun. The fluid shapes have a hint of sleepwear trend. Bias details in caramel leather are the finishing of some pieces.

Pineapple

L'image montre une femme posant sur la plage au coucher du soleil. Elle porte un maillot de bain avec une manche qui semble être décorée d'un motif de ananas. L'arrière-plan présente un ciel aux teintes orange et rose, avec des nuages qui ajoutent une atmosphère dramatique à la scène. La femme affiche une expression confiante, tandis que la mer s'étend à l'arrière-plan.

The omnipresent tropical fruit inspired prints with a montage feature, having cubist effects – a new graphic trend that can be seen in the current fabric printing. Made of pure, light cotton, the pieces are very fresh for the summer. There are neoprene overlays with the shape of pineapples and patches of that tropical fruit using embroideries with threads, purls and glass beads. With loose shapes, the sporty vibe shows up to set the tone – along with black tractor zippers as the heavier details, which recall the trend too.

Coconut Grove Sunset

The colors are vibrant, with tropical leaf designs and a striking combination of greens and oranges. She is posing outdoors, surrounded by lush palm trees, which enhances the tropical theme of the attire. The lighting accentuates her features and the overall relaxed vibe of the setting.

The sunset at the Maldives and its reddish tones influenced this family of localized prints, with neoprene overlays, but in the shape of coconut groves, in addition to handmade patches and embroideries. The inspiration on the surf universe can be seen in the shapes and genderless pieces – which also feature sporty zippers.

Tropical Floral

En arrière-plan, on aperçoit une plage de sable fin et une eau turquoise translucide, entourée de végétation luxuriante. Le ciel est clair, contribuant à l'atmosphère ensoleillée de la scène.

From the exuberance of Maldivian tropical flowers came the inspiration for this family, which also features localized prints, rendering each piece both different and unique. The handmade embroideries are a key aspect, adding much value to the result.
