Body positivity, self love, and fabulous fashion as well as feminine empowerment were the major themes in this year’s Miami Swim Week 2022 shows. 

Miami Swim Week 2022 Trends 

When it comes to swimwear, it’s no easy feat to innovate and create new swimwear fashion that looks, fits and feels equally great. This year’s Miami Swim Shows didn’t miss— the stunning fashion looks and gorgeous models hit the runway for five consecutive days at the SLS Hotel South Beach and provided an added boost of life back into swimwear fashion. From everyday ready-to-wear beach attire for tropical cities like Miami to vacation and glamourous resort work and sultry bikinis, Miami Swim Week™ The Shows put on a massive swim week featuring over 70 top and emerging brands from around the world.

Luxury Italian swimwear fashion brand Bikinilista collaborated with Swarovski to provide chic swim vibes that captured the essence of the summer beach luxury lifestyle. The brand’s rich collection of fine bikini styles and uber chic color spectrums are sure to adorn the finest beaches from Ibiza to the French Riviera. In addition, GoldBarr™ gave us luxury and decadent cheek with beautiful resort dresses and tiny bikinis made from vegan leather as well as silky fabrics. Another major highlight from Miami Swim Week came from Normal Culture, a new swimwear line by Bad Girls Club TV personality Jelaminah. The queen baddies of the new South swimwear designer also brought out Bad Girls Club queen bee, Natalie Nunn, who rocked the runway in a beautiful flowing black one-piece swimsuit and cover up. In addition, Flo Rida was in attendance watching the shows and hitting the Miami Swim Week after parties at HYDE Beach.

Women in fashion often get the best accessories, ideas and shapes, especially when it comes to swimwear fashion. From micro string bikinis to one-piece athleisure swimsuits, we saw it all! Plus, the 2000’s iconic styles are re-emerging including low waist mini skirts and bikinis proving that less is more. 

 

Albanian couture fashion designer Ema Savahl opened Miami Swim Week™ The Shows with stunning hand painted art turned into couture swimwear fashion. The opening runway show was hosted by The Little Lighthouse Foundation, which is a local Miami charity that is dedicated to improving the lives of underserved children and families— all proceeds from the show were donated to the LLF.
