Miami, FL – June 5, 2025 – The sun wasn’t the only thing sizzling in South Beach as Miami Swim Week Powered by Art Hearts Fashion returned for its 2025 edition, setting the stage ablaze with five days of designer showcases, high-profile performances, and electric energy from May 28 through June 1. Held at the iconic Eden Roc Miami Beach and Miami Beach Botanical Garden—with afterparties lighting up LIV Nightclub and E11EVEN Miami—the event was equal parts fashion spectacle and cultural phenomenon.
A Cast of Celebrities and Creators
The week officially kicked off with glam squads from Billion Dollar Beauty, Moonslice Beauty, and Unite Hair transforming models backstage, while stars like Carmen Carrera, Kiki Barth, and Victoria Unikel turned heads at the opening soirée hosted at Casadonna.
As the week progressed, appearances from Jaden Smith and Ty Dolla $ign during after-hours performances kept the buzz going strong, underscoring Art Hearts Fashion’s commitment to uniting fashion, music, and entertainment.
Runway Themes That Ruled
The runway shows began on May 29 and delivered everything from eco-forward fashion to western glam. Love for Upcycling introduced live parrots into the show, highlighting sustainability with a theatrical twist. Meanwhile, Giannina Azar brought the drama—literally—by opening with a fire dancer, igniting both the runway and audience anticipation.
Collections like Berry Beachy and Papi Swim celebrated inclusivity through matching sets made for all genders and couples. Mister Triple X blurred the lines between streetwear and swimwear with his-and-hers looks that turned heads. Designers such as Slay Swimwear and Bikini Flavors opted for ultra-revealing silhouettes, while Strange Bikinis, Belle D’Amour, and Cirone Swimlingerie offered metallics and embellishments that shimmered beneath the stage lights.
Not to be outdone, Pia Bolte and Laurel Dewitt elevated the classic one-piece with structural designs, while Luxe Isle, Copacabana Beachwear, and Kene Kaya delivered high-glam resortwear meant for jet setters. Styx Athletics and Henri Costa closed the gap between activewear and luxury, bringing athleisure into the fold.
Men Took the Spotlight Too
Menswear wasn’t an afterthought—designers like Papi Swim, Ca Rio Ca, Joseph Auren, Idol Jose, and David Tupaz presented sleek, confident collections. Henri Costa and Coyote Jocks embraced the athletic aesthetic, while the finale, helmed by Art Hearts Fashion President and Mister Triple X designer Erik Rosete, brought a high-octane close to a week filled with standout menswear.
Western Flair, Y2K Attitude
Designers had fun fusing fashion genres: Berry Beachy Gone Country made waves with a cowboy-meets-beachwear concept, while Bad Pink threw it back to early-2000s Y2K with cheeky, country-coded cuts.
Off the Runway, On the Radar
The festivities extended well beyond the runway. Guests sipped on Santo Gusano Mezcal front-row and explored curated brand activations at Eden Roc’s Vendor Village. Refreshments flowed from Coca-Cola, Vitamin Water, Simply Pop, Maison Perrier, and Alani Nutrition. Beauty stations by Japonesque, Mad Hippie, The House of Beauty, and The Makeup Light ensured influencer-ready touch-ups throughout the week.
The VIP Crowd
High-wattage attendees lined the front rows—Real Housewives stars Kiki Barth and Adriana De Moura, NFL players Will Gholston and Jamal Dean, and TLC’s sMothered duo Gabriella and Catherine Vigorito, among others. Editors, influencers, and style insiders mingled, adding another layer of industry clout to the celebration.
Art Hearts Fashion once again proved why it’s a driving force on the global swimwear stage. By fusing fashion-forward innovation with entertainment and inclusivity, this year's Miami Swim Week was more than a style showcase—it was a cultural moment.
