August 20th, 2025 — The desert may be miles from the shoreline, but Swim Week Las Vegas Powered by Art Hearts Fashion proved that couture swimwear belongs in the heart of the city’s entertainment capital. Now in its second year, the event transformed AREA15 into a multi-sensory fashion experience, blending cutting-edge runway presentations with live music, poolside parties, and late-night celebrations at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, LIV Beach, and LIV Nightclub.

The week unfolded as a masterclass in how to merge high fashion with high energy — each day flowing from backstage beauty to show-stopping catwalks, and finally into electrifying afterparties where global DJs kept the momentum alive.

Models arrived runway-ready thanks to Icon, Billion Dollar Beauty, Japonesque, and Mad Hippie, alongside luxury eyewear styling from Kering Eyewear, featuring brands like Gucci, Cartier, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Chloé, Alexander McQueen, Montblanc, Dunhill, Alaïa, and Puma.

The vibe intensified as Max Styler, Tiësto, Sam Feldt, MPH, and Cloonee delivered high-octane performances, bringing the same kinetic energy to the crowd that pulsed through the runway collections.
