Miami Swim Week - See Two of Our Favorite Shows
“What does the fashion crowd do in the summer when there are no shows to see in
New York, Paris, Milan or London? They go to Miami to attend Swim Week! This
year’s edition featured over 70 brands and attracted thousands of fashionistas
from all around the world. Below are two of our favorite shows:
Known best for its original prints, body hugging silhouettes and unique
construction throughout hundreds of its swimwear styles, Luli Fama has been on
the swimwear scene for over 15 years. The brand showcased a four-part collection
on the runway at Paraiso Miami Beach for Swim Week. Vibrant, colorful prints
from metallic blues to lime green and everything in between – left guests of the
fully attended show wanting each piece that came down the runway. Aerialists
were strung above the catwalk while each model came out showing each new look.
The star-studded cast of models included Charly Jordan, Cindy Prado, Shannon
De Lima, Georgina Mazzeo and Jena Frumes – who strutted down the runway with
the support of Jason Derulo and their one-year-old son, who sat front row.
Netflix’s Selling Sunset star, Mary Fitzgerald also attended the show with Malu
Trevejo on Saturday night in Miami.”

“For the third year in a row, 10 of the most sophisticated Colombian
swimwear brands presented on the runway for a must-see show at Swim Week
on Miami Beach. A union between ProColombia and Paraiso Miami Beach, in
an effort to foster the growth of the Colombian swimwear community and
present buyers and press with a group of the country’s most diverse, unique
and sophisticated swim brands. Nearly all have sustainable components
designing and ethically manufacturing each collection. Colombian swimwear is
growing rapidly in the US. According to Flavia Santoro, president of
ProColombia, “the sector has grown over 70% between January and May of
2022 compared to the same period in 2021 and reached exports over $8
million.” Featured brands included Alma Arena, Bahama Mama, Bahia Maria,
Palmacea Swimwear, Smeralda Swimwear, Mar de Lua, Mola Mola, Puntamar
and PQ Swim. Below are a few of our favorite swimwear from the show.”

Harper's Bazaar
The Mermaid Aesthetic Ruling This Summer (and Next)
“The first glimpse of what would become
mermaidcore, according to Siboni, emerged in
Versace's spring/summer 2021 collection,
where models walked the runway in dresses
printed with seashells and starfish.
Fast-forward to 2022, and resort collections
for the upcoming year are covered in
scale-like paillettes or drenched in shades
like "sea glass" and "ocean." Emerging
designers are just as likely to have a spin as
runway regulars; Siedrés, BAHÍA MARÍA, and
Baobab are a few of Siboni's favorites.”
Harper’s Bazaar
“Shells, sea glass, pearls: They're still
prevalent in accessories like box bags and
jewelry, but pieces made from or inspired by
materials washed ashore are also migrating
to ready-to-wear. One of Siboni's absolute
favorite interpretations comes from emerging
label BAHÍA MARÍA. "They have a very
literal shell top—I think it's fun to take this
literally sometimes, when you're going on
vacation," she says.”
