Sea-inspired spring/summer wear by Joy Cioci stuns at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Joy Cioci whisked Manhattanites away to a (temporary) trip to the beach with a spring/summer collection of sea-inspired colors.  Dresses and swimsuits ranged from simple solids to calming colorful prints.  Ensembles also incorporated a variety of textures, from scale-like details with some sheen to sheers and macrame laces.  

Models, styled with an eye for the ethereal, stood barefoot on sand-covered risers in front of an ocean-blue backdrop.
