The tiny Caribbean isle of Aruba was the setting for a unique swimwear fashion show earlier this month.

The first week of November saw Aruba come alive with Aruba in Style 2012, an event highlighting fashion, music and nightlife on the beautiful island.

As part of the proceedings, famous Colombian label Caffe Swimwear staged a fashion show at the pool deck of a beach resort, putting their latest tantalising tropical swimwear on display.

Instead of the models in bikinis however, it was the audience that was seated in the water! Attendees took their seats arranged in the shallow end of the pool as they saw Caribbean beauties breeze past in the resort collection.

In the following pages, we bring you a glimpse of all that was on offer on this most unusual 'runway', starting with this mix-and-match two-piece.

Next we see a ruffled string bikini top worn over bright printed bottoms.

A model strikes a pose in a vibrant beach cover-up; her plunging one-piece is clearly visible from underneath.

A stunning monokini in blue, black and white makes its presence felt poolside.

It's time for another combination of solids and prints with this orange halter and tropical-print bikini briefs.

With its sheer fabric and thigh-high slit, this stunning beach maxi reveals a lot of leg.

The Caffe Swimwear showing also had accessories on display -- note how well this blue woven beach tote goes with the orange two-piece.

Strapless and featuring tie-ups at the hips, this item is definitely for someone with the curves to carry it off!

A statuesque stunner seems to have a good time as she steps out in a strapless floral wrap and white bikini.

Fuschia comes into focus with this swimsuit; the accompanying tote seems to sport matching straps.

It's time for stylish sarongs with this breezy, sheer print and matching black two-piece.

For beach parties, a chic maxi number like this one, set off with the right accessories, is just the thing.

The many Caffe Swimwear muses take one final turn together on their poolside 'runway'.
