Aguaclara 2006

Written By Yvette N. Coleman

Liliana Villalobos, the youngest of six, found her intuitiveness within nature and the love of sports.  Born in Lima, Peru, her clients experience the richness of the Amazon come alive with her textured prints, sexy one-piece suits and a barrage of unique accessories. 

Aguaclara, which means “clear water” in Spanish, began in the early 1990’s after Liliana went into partnership with her brother, Jorge Villalobos who is the current Director of Applauzi Peru and Applauzi International Corp. USA - and the two incorporated Applauzi S.A. (bathing suits manufacturing).

In 1993, Liliana married Fernando Almaraz-Grandchant and is now mother to three children: Josefina, 10 years old; Fernanda, 8 years old; and Mauricio, 5 years old. Currently, Liliana serves as Director of the Tailoring Committee of the National Industrial Association and gives lectures on market tendencies to different organizations in the same line of business.

With all of Liliana’s responsibilities, she still manages to keep her collection fun and basic with bright colors, beads and hand appliqués that embellish these suits while setting this collection apart from the competition.

Inspired by the glowing sea, the so very sensual and provocative spider web-like knitting completes this Collection while evoking the subtle nuances of nature at play. Aguaclara also includes separates in this collection so customers have many choices of solid tops, bottoms and mini skirts!

We asked Liliana what makes her stand apart and ahead of the curve in comparison to other companies:

“We have been in the swimwear business for 16 years now, and we are getting better every year! Our image, creativity and the unique touch we give to our collections, helps us cover new markets," says Liliana. 

Retail:  $100 to 120.00 per bikini or one piece suit
