Pitusa Swim Week (Pt 2): The Runway

Here at Pitusa, we are all about diving deep into our lives– about appreciating and experiencing all of the sounds, foods, people, cultures, colors, styles, and feelings. Our designs come from the purity of empowering all women to be able to fully live their lives in comfort and style. The styles seen on the runway carried that spirit, along with the music that was played (hello Spotify Playlist), and all of the people involved– near and far. We are excited to share these photos, video, fashion takeaways, and memories with you, as we believe they translate that Pitusa spirit well and say things that words might not.

 The color story was vibrant! Our classic brights popped with the whites, olives (we are currently really excited about this color!), and various light pastel and mid-tones. This helped keep the composition strong while letting each color speak its own story. We are really keen on accessorizing with bags; though our bags are traditionally artisan made, they can certainly be worn in ‘street style’ fashion and seamlessly fit-in to whatever setting that you’re in.  Versatility matters to us because we know that the everyday woman is multi-faceted, she is going places– and if we can be part of all of that through our design and brand culture, we want to.  To us, the runway girl is also the everyday girl— she is beautiful, chic, effortless, and ready-to-go for whatever life has for her and for whatever she has for life– whether she’s on a tropical island or in New York City, we are here for it.
