It's that time of year again -- we bring you the best off the runway from the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2012!
The last five days have seen sun and fun capital of the world Miami showcase the best of swimwear at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim 2012.
This seventh season of showings saw the biggest turnout of international designers yet. Oiled and toned models took to the ramp in creations by Lisa Blue, White Sands Australia and True Religion, among others. Check it out!
We start off with this flirty ruffled Luli Fama floral, with light studded detailing -- a little bling, a lot of skin!
Next we have these high-waisted denim boy-shorts and striped bikini top from Have Faith Swimwear. Beware, only the uber-sexy and confident can carry this style off!
Beach Bunny Swimwear offered up this plunging white one-piece with a panel of lace adorning the chest.
A model with a distinctly Indian look shows off a two-piece with hardware detailing, and a mix of multi-colour and animal prints.
With her blonde locks and matching swimwear, this stunner does justice to a Jogo Beach design.
We see another bright Luli Fama one-piece, a monokini with string detailing and a matching cover-up -- skimpy, slinky and alluring!
Aqua Di Lara offered up this fuschia beauty with a wispy sheer robe adding a touch of glamour.
Sporty and sexy at the same time, this one-sided bikini from Diesel shows off a deep blue tone and is emblazoned with branding for Skyy Vodka.

Earthy yet sensual, this leaf-patterned one-sider in its foliage hue from Kooey Swimwear Australia was a big hit.
Another Aguaclara creation takes to the ramp -- a vivacious string bikini with matching ruffled mini.
Hugging the model's curves, this solid blue set of boy-shorts and triangle bikini top from Diesel is young and fresh.
Will classic black swimsuits ever go out of style? Not if White Sands Australia has anything to say about it -- dig this deep-necked design.
Lisa Blue took us back to a bygone era with her high-waisted two-pieces, complete with artistic prints.
Another offering from L*Space by Monica Wise, this cute little set shows off coral and white separates, with a chunky necklace and umbrella added on for effect.
This tasselled monokini from Tavik Swimwear had snake appeal with its reptilian print.
Another one-shoulder, this time by A.Z Araujo, shows off a studded bodice and it looks like it could go well with jeans as well as for a day by the sea.
Caffe Swimwear kept things simple with this posh white bikini, with just flashes of colour at the buckles.
High cuts, low cuts and a rich blue -- this little cutie from Norma Kamali Swimwear is so French Riviera!
Coral is one of the hottest shades this season and Jogo Beach jumped onto the bandwagon with this lovely two-piece.
Light and dark blue come together in sheen-tinged union on this Caffe Swimwear halterneck bikini.
Cut-away? One-piece? You decide, but we love the peek-a-boo effect on this gold-netted Aqua Di Lara swimsuit.
