Miami Swim Week – The Shows 2025: 5 Runway Moments That Redefined Swim and Resortwear

This year, Miami Swim Week – The Shows unfolded over five days of nonstop design, beauty, and bravado at the iconic Mondrian South Beach. Held from May 28 to June 1, 2025, the event once again brought together fashion insiders, emerging talent, and global brands for a season-defining celebration of resortwear. With official sponsors Australian Gold and Everlast, the week channeled Miami’s signature energy into an elevated showcase of innovation.

Here’s a look at five standout moments that captured the style and spirit of this year's Miami Swim Week – The Shows.

Ema Savahl opened the week on May 28 with “In Goddesses We Trust,” a collection that intertwined sacred symbolism with futuristic silhouettes. Hosted at the Mondrian South Beach in partnership with Miami Swim Week – The Shows, the runway doubled as a benefit for the Little Lighthouse Foundation.

Models glided down the catwalk in metallics of gold, silver, and copper, their looks defined by butterfly and Matrix-inspired cutouts, hand-painted details, and vintage corsetry. From sculpted catsuits to flowing gowns, the collection honored feminine power with a visual language that was both intricate and commanding.

Autty Simone brought early-2000s nostalgia back to the forefront on May 29, offering a spirited take on Y2K glam. The runway pulsed with glimmering mini dresses, vibrant color palettes, and statement accessories like over-the-knee boots and throwback caps.

Bikinis came in pink, green, orange, and metallic gold, styled with unapologetic flair. Simone’s show was about reclaiming maximalism with a modern, fashion-forward lens. It radiated "it-girl" confidence and signaled the continued relevance of archival influence in contemporary design.

Also on May 29, Montage Swimwear made its Swim Week debut with a show that fused modeling and design. The label unveiled 12 capsule collections, each created by an accomplished model-turned-designer including Bre Tiesi, Kayla Fitzgerald, Ava Stewart, and more.

Each collection played with mood and color: think electric blue bikinis, vibrant red two-pieces, and sun-kissed yellow separates. Designers dialed up the drama with exaggerated silhouettes, bold headpieces, and intricate body embellishments—resulting in swimwear that felt like performance, not just presentation.

By merging personal style with professional experience, Montage Swimwear added a refreshing layer of authenticity to the week’s lineup.

Everlast®, known globally for its roots in boxing, took a decisive leap into the future of fashion on May 31 with its inaugural Emerging Designer Competition. Held at the Mondrian South Beach, the show spotlighted five rising labels—LeLINZI, Kene Kaya, MERC Swim, Electric Picks, and Sovereign Society Couture.

Each designer collaborated with the Everlast creative team to co-design a capsule collection that blended sport and style across both men’s and women’s swimwear. The results were sleek, structural, and forward-thinking—pushing past the expected with pieces that nodded to athletic heritage while embracing fashion’s edge.

The show stood out for its cohesion and its message: that legacy brands can evolve without losing their voice.

Closing the week on June 1 was a multi-designer finale featuring names like Lila Nikole, Baiah, Elsa Fairy Dresses, Malvada Swimwear, and Ivoire Swim. Across the board, designers showcased a rich mix of patterns, textures, and silhouettes.

Fringed skirts, embroidered tops, and sheer embellished cover-ups swept the runway. Abstract prints, animal motifs, and linear designs found their way onto everything from high-waisted two-pieces to sweeping cover-up skirts. Dramatic couture-inspired gowns in pastel shades added a dose of theatrical elegance to the otherwise poolside-ready lineup.

The finale was about the collective vision that Miami Swim Week continues to nurture: one where fashion, function, and flair coexist effortlessly.
