If we are the world, Lisa Blue must be our mother.
The designer sent out an "It's A Small World"-worthy collection of influences Thursday night as her show kicked off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2013 at Miami's Raleigh Hotel. There were Water Dragon-powered suits and a paper dragon on stage in one grouping, a Grecian-influenced "Enchantress" collection, a cadre of models styled with Egyptian makeup, a section of Flamenco suits with an appearance by "Dancing With The Stars" mainstay Karina Smirnoff, and a rockabilly break somewhere in the middle.
Might she have needed to edit it down a bit? The crowd seemed split down the middle, but here, decide for yourself:
