2026 HIGHLIGHTS Miami Swim Week 2026 brought together more than 100 swimwear, resortwear, and lifestyle brands across a packed schedule of runway shows, trade events, brand activations, and industry programming throughout Miami Beach. The week was anchored, as expected, by PARAISO Miami Swim Week and Miami Swim Week® – The Shows, which collectively hosted dozens of designer presentations and events across multiple venues. Attracting designers, buyers, media, influencers, and fashion enthusiasts from around the world, Miami Swim Week once again reinforced its position as the global epicenter of the swimwear industry and one of fashion’s most influential annual gatherings. Among the many talented brands helping shape this year’s event were several exceptional names featured in Miami Living Magazine’s 2026 Swim Guide, including AVIDLOVE, Bikini Flavors, Enez Swimwear, Fashion 4 Ukraine, Lybethras, MAAJI, Mars The Label, and Omni Beach Life. Through their creativity, entrepreneurial vision, and distinctive design perspectives, these brands contributed to the diversity, innovation, and international appeal that continue to define Miami Swim Week. We are proud to recognize their participation and celebrate their contributions to this year’s global showcase of swimwear and resort fashion. The week opened with the Swimwear Icons Hall of Fame Honors Night, which recognized photographer Ellen von Unwerth, model and entrepreneur Leomie Anderson, Chromat founder Bex McCharen, and designer Melissa Odabash. Other participating brands included Monday Swimwear, Oséree, Luli Fama, Oh Polly, Kulani Kinis, SHAN, Oceanus, FAE, and Sigal. PARAISO also introduced its new RISE platform, designed to showcase emerging designers. Several brands used the week to mark important milestones and launches. Monday Swimwear debuted its first footwear collection, Megan Thee Stallion expanded her Hot Girl Summer label into menswear and pet apparel, Kulani Kinis staged its first PARAISO runway show, and Luli Fama celebrated its 20th anniversary. Across the runways, recurring trends included oversized accessories, ruffles, animal prints, metallic fabrics, tropical motifs, jewelry-inspired embellishments, and marine-inspired “mermaidcore” designs. Organizers estimate that Miami Swim Week generated between $180 million and $220 million in combined economic and media impact, underscoring Miami’s importance to the global swimwear and resortwear industry.
