The star of the show was the beautiful handcrafted, wearable art and couture fashion that hit the runway — from Ema Savahl’s new swimwear collection presented by swimwear model legends, like Priscilla Ricart and Georgina Mazzeo, bringing the house down by a live DJ set. The collection revealed in front of hundreds of fashionistas, influencers, models and media included one-piece and two-piece translucent, handpainted, and illuminescent swimsuits, as well as bodycon and bodysuits dresses that accentuate the feminine form perfectly.

Ema’s beautiful handcrafted wearable art and swimwear fashion also entered the Metaverse tonight and debuted a new swimwear NFT collection featuring 1,000 NFT’s of Savahl’s swimsuits.
