Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim kicked off in Miami late last week and boy, have we seen some crazy things come down those catwalks. Swimsuits might be an ultra-specific medium, but nothing can stop a fashion designer from expressing their inner WOW. Anyone who’s seen an episode of Project Runwaycan attest to that. After the jump, the 5 craziest things we’ve seen thus far, including, yep - Kristin Cavallari in a monokini made of glass.

1. Actual curves!: Let’s start this recap off on a positive note - curvy, bombshell-blonde model Kate Upton made an appearance on the Beach Bunny swimwear show, giving viewers and voyeurs a welcome break from the typical tall, rail-thin thing.

2. The tiniest tee ever: OMSqueeee, look at that tiny little thing! Has Cia Maritima swimwear taken the dickey to the beach? Will this little scrap of a tee make it onto the retail floor? How would you ever, um, fold it?

3. Tan line mind-benders: Ohkay, hmmmm. As if the swimsuit itself didn’t have enough cut-out action, the folks at Red Carter went ahead and added a four-piece plexi statement necklace and thigh-high tie-up sandals. Rly guys?

4. A nod to sun damage?: Or maybe the tan line mind bender was actually a pro-sunscreen statement like this umbrella-toting model from the L*Space by Monica Wise show. Could sun-worshipping South Beach be acknowledging the need for screen?

5. Kristin Cavallari in a glass-shard monokini: Yep, Kristin Cavallari showed up on the Diesel runway wearing a very intense tan and a sequin-like swimsuit that was anything but water-friendly. Why? Because it was made from shards of blue glass inspired by the SKYY Vodka bottle. Girl's got guts - but we've known that since the first episode of The Hills.

So ladies, which of these swim week things is the cah-raziest? Do tell!
