Designer Lisa Blue runway show opens up the Swim Week festivities in Miami Beach

Last night was the opening night at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami, the big shindig for swimwear industry people -- and the lead runway show was Australia's Lisa Blue. Designer Lisa Burke is one very cool lady -- she's a surfer girl and former model who was inspired to start her swimwear company after a chance encounter with a mother and baby humpback whale in Tonga a few years ago. She now designs an amazing swimwear collection for women who are sexy, powerful and environmentally conscious, and donates 25% of her net profits towards her passionate cause of protecting the whales and dolphins. From a fashion point of view, last night's collection for 2013 was truly inspired -- a mix of Grecian enchantresses, pinups, country girls and dragon themes that kept the audience enthralled. We saw several suits that we can't wait to shoot on our own Bikini.com Supermodels, especially from her pinup grouping. Lisa says this is the Year of the Dragon -- and we forecast very good fortune for Lisa Blue, and for lovers of great looking swimwear.

On the celebrikini front, Dancing with the Stars' Karina Smirnoff walked the runway in a flamenco-styled bikini and cover up -- and spotted in the front row was Dancing with the Stars' Brooke Burke with her husband actor David Charvet, and singer and NBC's The Voice's Christina Milian.
