MIAMI SWIM WEEK 2026

Another unforgettable Miami Swim Week is in the books, and what a week it was!

Hosted across some of Miami’s most iconic venues, this year’s edition brought together designers, buyers, media, creators, and fashion enthusiasts from around the world, further solidifying Miami as the global capital of swim and resort wear.

For our team, this season was about celebrating creativity, culture, and international talent through a series of standout runway presentations, activations, showroom experiences, and unforgettable moments that celebrated the future of fashion.

 HeraSea by Laura Monroy delivered one of the most powerful and emotional moments of the week with the pre-launch of her new collection, Rooting & Rising. Inspired by her Colombian roots and the journey that brought her dreams to life in Miami, Laura presented a vibrant celebration of identity, growth, and resilience through bold prints, menswear, resortwear, sequined looks, and versatile silhouettes.

Making a powerful statement of unity, HeraSea transformed the runway into a celebration of Latin America as models carried flags representing countries across the region, honoring the diversity, strength, and shared heritage that connect us all. The runway opened with Argentine model and designer Agustina Bruenner, while the final look was worn by Yudy Arias, bringing the presentation to a memorable close. More than a fashion show, HeraSea became a tribute to Latin pride, cultural roots, and the dreams that flourish far from home.

 Jackie Vera Swimsuit brought sophistication and contemporary femininity to the runway, presenting elegant swimwear and resort pieces designed for the modern woman while reinforcing the strength and global appeal of Latin American fashion.

 Italian Riviera Collective by ITA – Italian Trade Agency transformed Miami Swim Week into a true celebration of Italian excellence, bringing together 23 Made in Italy brands and presenting 33 curated looks that showcased the craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless elegance of Italian beachwear and resort fashion.

Adding a fresh creative perspective to the presentation, the styling direction for all 33 runway looks was led by Nicole Leaves, an honoree student from Istituto Marangoni Miami, whose vision helped unify the diverse collections into a cohesive runway experience.

More than a traditional fashion show, Italian Riviera Collective immersed guests in the spirit of Italy through a dynamic production that combined fashion, culture, and entertainment. The presentation featured live dance performances, an energetic soundtrack curated by Italian DJ Tony Zuccaro, and an international cast of models representing some of the world’s leading agencies, bringing the collections to life with sophistication and authenticity.

Designed by Agustina Bruenner, the collection showcased colorful swimwear and resort pieces while celebrating friendship, sisterhood, and community. Joined by close friends and fellow models on the runway, the presentation became one of the week’s most personal and uplifting moments.

 La Roja by Misha proudly represented Guatemala with bold colors, statement silhouettes, and a powerful vision of contemporary Latin design. The collection reflected the brand’s commitment to showcasing Guatemalan creativity on an international platform while connecting tradition with modern fashion.

 Beyond the runway, we hosted an exclusive Trunk Show at La Ferneteria Rooftop, Wynwood’s newest rooftop destination, where guests discovered collections from two emerging designers while enjoying an elevated dining experience. Powered by Santa Teresa Rum and hosted by José Ibarra, the evening created an intimate setting where fashion, hospitality, and meaningful industry connections came together under the Miami skyline.

 We also proudly supported Bahia Swim Week, reaffirming our commitment to emerging designers and independent fashion platforms that create opportunities for the next generation of talent. We believe that fashion grows when new voices are given space to shine, and Bahia Swim Week continues to be an important platform for discovering and celebrating rising creatives from across Latin America and beyond.

None of this would have been possible without the support of our incredible partners and sponsors. A special thank you to Tequila Milagro, Truman Vodka, Blo By Blow Dry Bar Miami, and Maison Perrier for helping elevate the experience throughout the week and supporting the designers, creators, media, and guests who made these events possible.

Throughout the week, our team also supported media opportunities, buyer introductions, influencer activations, backstage coordination, VIP experiences, and networking moments that helped create meaningful connections across the global fashion industry.

From Colombia, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Argentina to Italy and Miami, this Swim Week demonstrated the incredible power of fashion to connect cultures, celebrate diversity, and create opportunities for emerging and established talent alike.

To our designers, sponsors, media partners, creators, models, volunteers, buyers, and guests: thank you for helping bring these stories to life and for making this season one to remember.

Miami Swim Week 2026 was more than a series of runway shows—it was a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, community, and the future of global fashion.

Until next season, Miami! Stay tuned on FM24!
