Fiercely artistic with a bohemian edge and an affinity for a beauty that is universal, Mara Hoffman’s collections and presentation always make us pause in admiration. When bigger labels seem to stumble with their representations of global style, especially when it pertains to women of color, Mara Hoffman hits the right notes year after. In  2012 we want to believe that in showcasing beauty and style the color and ethnicity of models should be as broad as there are countries and cultures. The world we live in is widely diverse and in these parts we love our fashion to do everything it can to reflect that.

As part of her Miami pop-up shop, Mara Hoffman worked with photographer Spencer Tunick to create some images celebrating the event. Tunick is known for his work snapping shots of nude people in public spaces and here he poses them in front of the Airstream trailer that will serve as Hoffman’s store space. It so interesting isn’t it how different naked bodies look when they’re not perfectly lit and styled.

Mara Hoffman launches her first pop-up store with a bang–out of an 1964 Airstream trailer in Miami, during Art Basel week (December 1-4). The shop will feature her own 2012 swimwear line plus a limited edition (15 each) line of bathing suits and leggings–see sneak peeks above–done in collaboration with artists Javier Piñón, Spencer Tunick, John Newsom, Eddie Martinez and Maya Hayuk.

Lately have been obsessing over Mara Hoffman, as in want every piece. Above is a look from her Autumn 2011 line, which is now in stores.

Mara Hoffman’s Spring 2012 presentation for New York Fashion Week was amazing. She’s pretty much the woman when it comes to creating chilled yet chic tribal looks that us Snobettes tend to favor. Plus, she “gets” accessories, which, major bonus points !

 Mara Hoffman’s clothing always have a global traveller appeal that we find irresistible. Feminine, sensual with  a street sensibility that makes her collections versatile, covetable and therefore thoroughly Highsnobette approved. A close look on the next page via nymag.

Colorful with sexy silhouettes Mara Hoffman’s Resort Swim 2011 collection is the stuff of stylish island dreams. The snobs approve! View it entirety on the flip.

Mara Hoffman just gets it. Her collections consistently reflect that sexy bohemian vibe that we live for. The kind of colorful clothing that make sense in the city or in the islands.  Spring ‘11 is flawless, every single piece is a want…Enjoy.

Definitely on trend with the current tribal looks is  Mara Hoffman   ’s Net back Romper. Irresistibly fun, and the kind of thing you can pull out every summer and will always look fresh. Available at Shopbop. 

Mara Hoffman  has always has a special place in my heart as one of the few designers whose collection never seem to reflect a particular trend. I’m sure that on closer look one might find a print or a silhouette “of the moment” but for the most part this woman does her own thing and always does it well . Never forgetting  to let women be their simple and sexy best in flattering easy clothing. A closer look at the easy breezy  Mara Hoffman Spring/Summer 2010 Collection on the flip via nymag.
