Victoria Cimadevilla dazzled on 2nd October at Gran Canaria Swim Week by Moda Cálida with her collection “Desert Flower,” which earned her the prestigious award for Best Collection. This accolade marks her second consecutive victory at this event, where she had already made her mark in 2022 by receiving the same recognition during her debut.
Desert Flower: The Rebirth of Beauty is a collection that pays homage to the strength, resilience, and beauty that emerge from the most inhospitable environments. In a world where the unexpected has become the norm, Victoria Cimadevilla tells the story of a woman who, like the desert flowers, adapts, perseveres, and shines.
Inspired by the delicate hues of flowers that adorn the desert after a storm, this collection celebrates resilient femininity and the innate beauty that blooms even in the most adverse circumstances.
The swimsuits encapsulate the essence of those flowers that dare to thrive under an unrelenting sun, while the crochet dresses evoke the rich tradition of ancestral craftsmanship. Each piece is the result of a delicate creative process, reflecting the patience and care with which nature weaves its wonders into the desert landscape.
The designs of this collection stand out for their exquisite attention to detail and deep connection to nature, featuring an earth, olive, and black colour palette that evokes the fascinating aridity of the desert landscape. The swimsuits, adorned with delicate 3D flowers, bring a touch of three-dimensionality and sophistication to each creation. Ruffles and draping add movement and texture, evoking the gentle undulations of the dunes.
As a tribute to traditional weaving techniques, this collection also incorporates handmade crochet dresses. Crochet, with its organic texture and intricate design, symbolises the connection between humanity and nature, reminding us that even in the desert, life can be warm and enveloping. Each piece invites women to embrace their inner strength and to flourish, regardless of the circumstances.
