Day Three- Poko Pono

Founder and creator of Poko Pano, Paola Robba, invited guests to preview her love for Brazil – a celebration of the country’s pure and exotic environment. 

On Saturday, July 17, 2010 an eclectic mix of fashion elite including American pop-singer, Ana Cristina; shoe designers Donald J. and Lisa Pliner; luxury handbag designer  Laura Buccellati and  Miami Beach City Commissioner, Michael Gongora observed the preview of  “Amo o Brasil,” the Portuguese translation for “I love Brazil.” The dynamic Summer 2011 collection of swimwear and beachwear was inspired by the country’s intense aromas, attractions and landscapes. The vibrant color palette included variations of yellows, reds, and greens, turquoise, black and white. Signature designs included heart-shaped patterns that represented Paola’s passion for Brazil, toucan birds and banana flowers to signify the vibrant scenery, rose and coconut trees to denote the aromatic atmosphere.
