Carioca da Gema is a new swimsuit line that embodies contemporary elegance, cosmopolitan edge, with a Brazilian flair for the American market.

Flavia Merecci, native Brazilian and designer of Carioca da Gema, is known not only to be a fashion designer, but an accomplished artist with paintings that have appeared in over 30 exhibitions and 6 individual shows in different countries.

What best defines this busy-savvy designer can be captured in one word: PASSION! What better word to describe her astonishing, strong, and contemporary paintings that echoes the color of childhood? And there is no better word to define her new swimsuit line.

Carioca da Gema evokes the sensuality of Merecci's native country, Brazil. It presents a array of hand made accessories such as mother of pearls details, creative tie-die twist and Amazon inspired prints.

 Carioca da Gema achieves a pleasing balance between the use of color and delicate use of application.
