Mia Marcelle presentó “Souk to Sea”, una de las tres colecciones Resort 2018 presentadas en el show de Cali Dreams en la carpa Swimmiami. Esta propuesta inspirada en los años 70 consistió mayormente de trajes de baño de una sola pieza con volantes, escotes profundos, espaldas al descubierto y cordones que exponían parte de la caja torácica y las caderas.
Además, algunas piezas resort como batas, vestidos maxi, faldas y kaftans complemeron los trajes de baño a la cintura y los bikinis de talle bajo. El esquema de color en la pasarela comenzó con tonos naranjas, seguido de borgoña, azules y el rosa claro. Estampados emulando papel tapiz de flores de los 70’ se integraron con colores sólidos y telas metálicas en bronce antiguo.
Algunas piezas pasaron al lado más glamoroso y elegante con el uso del terciopelo en el traje de baño y el turbante. Para personalizar la colección los turbantes, joyas corporales y pendientes grandes fueron seleccionados por la diseñadora.
Mia Marcelle presented “Souk to Sea”, one of the three Resort 2018 collections showcased at the Cali Dreams show at the Swimmiami Tent. This 70’s inspired proposal consisted mostly of one piece swimsuits with ruffles, deep cleaves, bare backs and strings exposing the side of the ribcage and hips.
Also, some resort pieces like robes, maxi dresses, skirts and kaftans complimented the high waisted swimwear and the low rise bikinies. The color scheme on the runway started with orange shades, followed by burgundy, blues and light pink. Flower wallpaper-like prints from the 70’s were integrated along with solid colors and metallic fabrics in antique bronce.
Some pieces turn to the more glamorous and elegant side with the use of velvet on the swimsuit and turban. To accessorize the collection, turbans, body jewelry and big earrings were selected by the designer.
Otro debut en Miami Swim Week fue el show de Salty Mermaid para la temporada Resort 2018 en la carpa de Swimmiami. Esta colección de trajes de baño, titulada “Sudáfrica”, propuso un acercamiento artístico al país exhibiendo coloridos estampados tribales.
Kara Versage, copropietaria de la marca, describió en el blog de Salty Mermaid: “Los majestuosos atardeceres, los colores y la belleza natural de África inspiraron nuestra colección 2018. Los naranjas y los rojos vibrantes, los tonos de rosa, y los amarillos intensos del oro vinieron juntos e hicieron que nuestro corazón saltara de un latido. Sabíamos que queríamos llevar esos colores a la vida a través de nuestros trajes de baño. Colores brillantes, patrones intrincados y motivos vivos creaaron trajes de baño que te hacen sentir vivo y que bailas desde el amanecer hasta el atardecer.
La propuesta también mostró borlas como detalles principales y los modelos llevaron gafas de sol de Snapchat en la pasarela para agregar un toque de color y grabar desde una perspectiva diferente lo que estaba sucediendo durante el desfile.
Another Miami Swim Week debut was Salty Mermaid’s Resort 2018 show at the Swimmiami tent. Titled “South Africa” this swimwear collection proposed an artistic approach to the country by exhibiting colorful tribal prints.
As brand co-owner Kara Versage described on the Salty Mermaid’s blog : “[t]he majestic sunsets, colors and natural beauty of Africa inspired our 2018 collection. Vibrant oranges and reds, shades of pink, and intense golden yellows came together and made our heart skip a beat. We knew we wanted to bring those colors to life through our swimsuits. Bright colors, intricate patterns and vivid motifs create swimsuits that make you feel alive and have you dancing from sunrise to sunset.”
The proposal also showcased tassels as main details and the models wore Snapchat sunglasses down the runway to add a pop of color and record from a different perspective what was happening during the show.
Durante Miami Swim Week, la diseñadora de moda Angel Brinks presentó su colección Resort 2018 en el evento Cali Dreams celebrado en la carpa de Swimmiami en Miami Beach. Pensando en su lista de clientes famosos que incluye a Nicki Minaj, Ashanti, Lil ‘Kim, Mya y Blac Chyna entre muchas otros, Brinks quizo traer el glamour del r & B, hip hop contemporáneo y el rap a cada mujer. Desde la pasarela pudímos entender por qué la diseñadora ha sido nombrada la “Reina de los leggings y los body suits de alta costura”. La pomposa colección es más apropiado para una fiesta que para una piscina, añadiendo sensualidad a las piezas de trajes de baño y resort con detalles como cutouts transparentes, lentejuelas, perlas y cristales.

Silvia Ulson presentó su colección resort por segunda vez en Swimmiami durante Miami Swim Week, esta vez en la piscina Wet Deck del hotel W South Beach. Con el título de “Collection Cor Brasil“, Ulson trajo a la pasarela los colores de Brasil y el “Denim Couture“, que inspiraron a la diseñadora y convirtieron esta propuesta en una visión que reflejó comodidad y despreocupación informal infundida con una generosa dosis de glamour brasileño. Varias piezas clave de la colección van de día a noche, y de la playa a la barra, y pueden ser vistos como accesorios en sí mismos, ya que están adornados con bordados y aplicaciones únicas.

Hot-As-Hell expanded from swim, lingerie and beach lifestyle apparel into childrenswear, maternity and bridal dubbing the new children’s wear line, Hot-as-Halo.. Dainty pastel lace contrasted by radiant sunshine tones floated along the runway to the sounds of Beyonce’s Lemondade poetry.
HAH’s Spring 2017 collection was inspired by the origins of natural beauty – mother earth. Le Jardin de HAH is symbolic of the brand’s roots in natural, ethical product for women. This is seen and felt across the entire collection – from a rich color palette inspired by the sun and the sky to intricate original prints, hand drawn and digitally printed. This season’s print story highlights the dichotomy of beauty vs. the challenges inherent in nature.
Crowd favorite model, Sam Blacky’s personality shined through as she flipped the bird in true Hot-As-Hell fashion. Cheeky high-waisted bottoms and reversible one-pieces stole the show. Vintage recycled Adidas bombers covered in custom patches by LA tattoo artist, dirtyneedle, embodied the brand’s sustainability initiatives. Contrasted by black oriental prints, delicate lace accents highlighted models, moms, children and expecting mothers beautiful curves of all kinds.
The message here is that we are in control of whether lightness or darkness ultimately prevails. Through eco-friendly design and manufacture HAH on the side of light, and proves it’s never too late to #startsomewhere.

The show featured a variety of luxury brands as they unveiled their latest collections across the runway.

In time, the trade show has carefully built itself up to be at the forefront of swim traditions, with no one but Rick and Ramon to thank of course. I think that A departure from the traditional trade show, Hammock featured a variety of domestic and international swim, resort and accessory brands as they showcased their 2017 designs in private studios, suites and a gorgeous ballroom space.

Frankies Bikinis presented their Resort 2017 collection at Swimmiami during Swim Week 2017. The Wet Pool at the W South Beach Hotel became center stage for the fun, young and free fashion show. Designer Francesca Aiello blasted the runway with energy, showing guests the new collection inspired by the 60’s. There were lots of sexy bikinis, body paintings , flowers, signs, belly-bottom jeans and attitude. Aiello wants woman to feel feel beautiful and empowered when they put on a Frankies bikini, and confirms that nothing says female empowerment like the 1960’s.
With original prints, criss-cross and crochet, Frankies Bikinis possitions itself once again among the favorites shows at Swim Week.
“I’m always inspired by my hometown Malibu and the carefree girls who live there and who are always running around in their bikinis,” Aiello said. “We have five new silhouettes this year. One of my favorites is called the ‘Mimi’ and it’s a halter top but we twisted it up by doing a cut out in the center to make it sexier and then we added the Frankies crochet touch up top”.

As a key ingredient in many swimsuit brands, the LYCRA® brand was once again a presence during Miami Swim Week and sponsored the LYCRA® SWIM SALON during SWIMMIAMI, July 14-17, 2016. The salon was a new tented venue located on the grounds of the exclusive W South Beach hotel in Miami Beach, Florida. A series of four swimwear runway fashion shows featuring swimwear by Hot-As-Hell, Robb & Lulu, Baes & Bikinis and San Lorenzo were held at the salon. These brands use LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber in their swimwear collections because it resists breakage and fit loss caused by chlorine and sunscreen, and lasts up to ten times longer than unprotected spandex.
An invitation-only cocktail party was hosted by the LYCRA® brand at the LYCRA® SWIM SALON on Saturday, at the W Southbeach hotel. This was followed by a presentation on LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber by Pattie Ficorilli, INVISTA Senior Marketing Manager for Swim. A live model showcase featuring trends created in collaboration with Stijlinstituut Amsterdam, where the 2018 swimwear trends were brought to life. Finally, guests previewed the new LYCRA® brand global swim video that highlights the unrivalled benefits LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber delivers to swimwear. The new global brand video will be made available to brands and fabric mills to promote the quality of their swimwear and fabric selection using LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™.
“Miami Swim Week gives us a wonderful opportunity to engage with our partner brands and showcase the newest fabric innovations to the global swimwear community,” said Ficorilli. “Fabrics using our LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber are the favorite choice of swimwear brands around the globe, and we enjoy being able to educate both new and established brands about our technological developments, trends in the industry and connect them to key fabric mills from around the globe.”
