This year’s events will showcase top designers, innovators and hundreds of stunning models while debuting beautiful swimwear, resort-wear fashion, virtual fashion-tech, and beauty and summer fashion trends. Over 100 new and top swimwear designers are flying into Miami from around the world to debut their Summer 2023 collections. “From sustainable and eco-friendly fashion, to fashion NFT collections, this year’s Miami Swim Week: The Shows will be unlike anything the fashion industry has ever seen.
