The energy at Eden Roc Miami Beach will be impossible to ignore as Miami Swim Week kicks off with a one-two punch. Opening the Art Hearts Fashion runway on Thursday, May 29 at 8:00 PM is Berry Beachy Gone Country, a western-inspired showcase from Berry Beachy Swimwear. The celebration continues the next night, Friday, May 30, when Papi Swim takes the stage, offering its signature blend of tropical flair and unapologetic expression.
Co-founded by Miami locals Rob & Mel Gonzalez, Berry Beachy and Papi Swim are sibling brands united by a shared mission: to empower every body and every kind of beautiful. Their collections deliver more than eye-catching design — they offer a mindset, a movement, and a mood.
This season’s Berry Beachy collection gallops into the spotlight with Berry Beachy Gone Country, a cheeky, denim-dipped homage to western glam. Bold silhouettes and curve-loving cuts are softened with flirty lace details, patchwork motifs, and paisley prints, creating a runway moment that’s equal parts rodeo-ready and pool-party chic. It's a statement of independence and confidence designed to celebrate every shape, every curve, and every personality.
True to its name, Berry Beachy isn’t afraid to turn heads. With inclusive sizing and prints that play as hard as they pose, the label speaks directly to women who want their swimwear to reflect their strongest, boldest selves.
Following Berry Beachy’s kickoff is Papi Swim, the brand’s menswear counterpart built on the same pillars of self-love and standout style. Designed for men and masc-presenting individuals who like their swimwear with a side of swagger, Papi Swim fuses sexy cuts with lush tropical prints that make a statement in every setting — from yacht decks to backyard pool parties.
And here’s where the genius pairing shines: every Papi Swim print has a matching look in the Berry Beachy lineup. A fiery floral on a tailored men’s short becomes a strappy bikini in the women’s collection. A breezy ombré trunk finds its match in a sleek one-piece. These visual pairings are subtle nods to connection — between partners, friends, or anyone whose style embraces duality. It’s a bold, beautiful celebration of complementing energies.
“For everybody and every kind of beautiful isn’t just branding — it’s the heart of the entire show. When you put on a Berry Beachy or Papi swimsuit, we want you to feel confident, empowered, and seen. That’s what this moment at Miami Swim Week is all about — showing up as your fullest, fiercest self.”Rob & Mel Gonzalez, Co-Founders of Berry Beachy Swimwear
With their opening-night spotlight and back-to-back shows, Berry Beachy and Papi Swim are doing more than presenting collections — they’re shaping the narrative of what modern swimwear can and should be. Not just flattering. Not just fun. But fearless, inclusive, and reflective of individuality.
