PARAISO Miami Beach or more commonly known as, Miami Swim Week, returned with fresh designs and brands for this year’s show. One of these newbies included designer, Stefania Roitman, who debuted her highly anticipated swimsuit designs with the launch of her brand, My Happy by Stefi. The Argentenian actress, host, and content creator also happens to be the current season coach for “The Voice” Latin America, now airing on OVID and Apple Itunes online.
Stefania’s inspiration for the brand stems from a yearning desire for love, freedom, and connection during a time of isolation. The global lockdowns during the height of the pandemic left many people feeling disconnected and emotionally unfulfilled. “My Happy” was Stefannia’s outlet that she so graciously chose to share with the world.
“My Happy by Stefi” was created to lay the foundation for a future built on open self-expression and unity with one another. Specifically, the brand promotes inclusivity and body positivity as a tool for highlighting the natural beauty of all shapes and sizes of women. The design pieces incorporate vivid colors and unique prints to accentuate the female form and create visual texture.
“This has been a very exciting moment for me where I was finally able to show what my inspiration has brought me to, a moment where I celebrate everyone, taking them to My Happy world!” says Stefi.
Opening for Stefania, Argentinian designer Mery Racuachi presented her collection for the third season of “Mery Playa.” The collection returned with a playful and exuberant experience, blending vintage vibes and latin finesse, coupled with a pop of tropical ambience and a dreamy pastel color palette.
The inspiration behind Mery Racuachi’s newest editions was an appreciation of gam rock and the 90’s runway appeal. Her pieces incorporate retro patterns, bold chains, and nostalgic accessories, infusing kitsch art and a modern aesthetic with an extravagant energy.
Both Stefi and Mery’s collections strive to bring out the star in every girl that isn’t afraid of feeling herself and letting her colors shine. The joint objective is to build a foundation of boldness and optimism and let the world. Unsurprisingly, both brands were incredibly well received even though they were different, yet complementary.
