Before his line, Mikho Karajito, was shown, the audience was treated to a cool video that showed a young office worker in the hustle and bustle of going to work in New York City. He sits through an agonizing job and annoying boss, but at five o'clock, he is free - stripping down piece by piece out of his work clothes as he walks to the elevator. The beautiful people of the city who escape to exotic locales after the workweek were the inspiration for Blanco's collection, which featured a palette of steel gray, plum purple and a few with a chocolate brown and white tropical print. The men's swimsuit cuts ranged in the style of boy shorts to longer board shorts and exuded classic patterns of black and white houndstooth and glen plaid. For ladies, the bikini print changed to gray and white houndstooth paired with solid gray bottoms. Each of the men's swimsuits were highlighted with noticeable, but not distracting accents of pale yellow (with the gray) and fluorescent pink (with cappuccino brown). Blanco's theme of “swimwear in the concrete jungle” materialized perfectly with the female model's waist-long braid extensions, beaded and shell jewelry and the electronic-tribal sound of Roisin Murphy's song, "Ramalama (Bang, Bang)." The models also sported temporary tattoos of a bar code - mimicking the design of a big city skyline - and “Karajito” in Japanese-like characters.
