Victoria Secrets model May Andersen kicked of the swimsuit shows walking for Diesel at the Raleigh Hotel in South Beach. The humid weather did not make hair and makeup easy, but luckily all she had to wear were bikinis.

Also included in the show was rapper Teyana Taylor, who's next single, "Move" is likely to be all over the radio soon. So keep an ear out.

Diesel set the runway up on top of the Raleigh Pool, which is straight out of a 1960's Versace dream. Fashionistas viewed the linnet while dipping their feet into the pool and sipping mojitos.

The theme of the show was "School's Out Forever," an Alice Cooper throwback to a prep school themed party. It was East Coast prep school meets varsity athletics meets gender confusion out there.

The swimwear stuck to mostly a black and white theme with branding all over.

Check out my gallery from the event, and let me know what you think of the safety equipment.
