The Gottex Fashion Show at the NY Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2008
 Photo by Dan Lecca | Gideon Oberson of Gottex surprised the audience with his mixture of themes at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2008, all of which were inspired by the music, the sound, the lights and the colors of Brazil.
The show was divided into several scenes, the first of which encompassed a slightly aggressive look comprised of black vinyl and bright yellow swimsuits, some accented with shiny black armbands and hip accents. Next followed a line of softer floral pieces with lavender and green adornments on sheer variations of white. Flowy and feminine cover-ups in variegated stripes of green and rhythmic placements of lilac and purple showed a softer, more lyrical side. Then Gottex brought on a glamorous line of black swimwear with daring crisscrossing designs and silver and |
white accents. Then a more subtle and chic procession of designs based on earthy colors with geometric patterns and contemporary cuts followed, all a prelude to the show-stopper of the evening: A peacock theme, repeating the teardrop shape of the feather and mimicking the vibrant colors through strategic placements of jewels and adornments on white. This last scene of elegant and beautiful swimwear truly reflected the brilliance of Brazil, complete with headdresses reminiscent of the costumes of carnival!
