07/18/11

"As a kid growing up in L.A.,Rudi Gernreich (inventor of the monokin) was one of my inspirations," swimsuit designer Red Carter ('92) told NBC Miami about his new collection yesterday. Carter, who has introduced new collections at this event since 2005, will join Otis in the fall as a Fashion Design mentor. He says he's most excited about "jetting off to work on a project taking Yves Saint Laurent's home in Marrakesh, and turning out a beautiful theme of stripes and mixing it with cheetah prints," he enthused. "I can't wait to work with the kids there."
