"    Photo: Margo Ducharme   What could be cooler than a girl rocking an acid-wash bikini? How about one doing so while hula hooping so masterfully it looks easy enough for us to take a swing at it. The creative mind setting this scene is designer Raquel Allegra, who tapped Kiersten Marrs (aka Spin Kitten) to star in her Summer 2013 campaign video. The featured washed-denim bikini style\u2014an ode to Madonna in her early days\u2014is the first swimwear design of its kind for Allegra, who still kept things familiar by incorporating her signature dye technique.  In the video, the designer&amp;#039;s hula-hoop muse, who happens to be a viral Internet sensation, displays her skills in one single edit, set to the ever-cool vibe of &amp;quot;Bumpy&amp;#039;s Lament&amp;quot; by Richie Phoe.    The short embodies the California designer&amp;#039;s laid-back demeanor, while playing with the summer collection&amp;#039;s inspirations of freedom and light. Although we are completely entranced by Marrs and her hoop performance, this video serves as a means of tiding us over until the luxe bikini style, as well as the rest of Allegra&amp;#039;s Summer 2013 collection, debuts in May.
