Best known for their popular Ed Hardy Jeans, the label’s buzz surrounding the anticipation of their Ed Hardy Swimwear catwalk-strut at the 5th annual Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim was filled with excitement. Creative Director, Fawn Arthur of Sea & Sun Swimwear, and Corporate Pastry Chef, Sergio Navarro of SUSHISAMBA restaurants, unveiled Miami’s first edible bikini.

The ultimate in fashion fantasy, a savory, two-piece edible replica of the 2010 “Trellis” suit was unveiled on a basking beauty soaking up the sun of Lincoln Road. Inspired by the urban streets and influenced by Japan, Brazil and Peru, “oh so sweet” tropical hues of yellow and pinks was represented by dual-colored beets, dark hues by blueberries and greens by kiwi accents.

Joining the beauty, USA Water Polo Men’s National player, Thomas Hopkins, took a break from training to showcase the latest men’s swim trunks from the Ed Hardy Swimwear 2010 collection.
