There are the four key fashion weeks that trot the globe, from New York to Paris, London and Milan—and then there is Miami Swim Week, The Shows. This biannual event has come to define the aesthetic evolution of swimwear, but also its environmental impact. This year featured over 50 events, 100 fashion designers, and over 20 satellite locations, making it the largest swim week with a focus on sustainable swimwear and supporting women.

This season, which ran from May 29 to June 3, Latin American designers were in the spotlight. From Colombian to Brazilian brands, attendees were able to glimpse the forthcoming trends in swimwear, from iridescent hues to crochet cover ups. Here’s some of the swimwear brands to pack for your next tropical summer vacation.

Iridescent Hues

Argentinian brand Flavia Palmiero had golden swimsuits trot down the runway, with a focus on lime green bikinis and animal print cover ups. Founded by Buenos Aires-born actor and writer Flavia Palmiero, who not only designs swimwear but comfy womenswear for everyday use, from jeans to coats. As Palmiero says: “Women today need to look good, comfortable, practical and sexy.” There was also a runway show from Salpica, a sustainable brand designed in Puerto Rico with materials made from recycled ocean plastics, and provides UV protection.

Bright Colors

Brazilian brands made a splash at swim week with Badi Swimwear, a brand that uses colors from the Brazilian flag in their swimwear. This season’s collection is heavy on triangle bikinis, colorful combinations of greens and yellows, sparkly touches and strappy styles. The brand brought energy from the tropics to the runway. Another Brazilian brand who brought bright hues to the runway is GlueGlue, a fashion brand aimed to help protect beachgoers from the hot summer sun. They design beach hats, visors, turbans, cover-ups and shirts that protect from the sun’s rays.

Shimmering Fabrics

Colombian brands brought innovative swim styles to the runway with Amarotto Swimwear, a brand that featured fringe and crochet cover-ups, dresses and feather headpieces in their swimwear showcase, which focused on colorful prints, strapless bikinis, and sheer zebra print dresses. Meanwhile, Miami-based brand Andrea Venturoli featured metallic, ruffle two-pieces with a vintage flair, and even brought silky women’s pant suits onto the runway. DOB featured shimmery fabrics in their latest collection, as well as crochet cover ups and pastel hued bikinis. This summer is all about pink swimsuits, animal prints and crochet.

Unique Cutouts

Mexican brand Liech Antel Swimwear brought a high fashion aesthetic to one-piece swimwear with angular cutouts. They also featured gold accents, transparent tulle, banded corset-like one pieces, and straps that call to mind jewelry. Their flowing cover ups are couture-like in their creations.

Peruvian Prints

Kene Kaya, founded by Alessandra Durand in Peru, is an ethical fashion brand inspired by the indigenous cultural traditions of the Peruvian Amazon, incorporating local materials and embroidery into their designs for both swimwear and resort wear. They work with an all women team of Shipibo-Konibo artisans on creating the embroidery for their garments.

Mediterranean Spirit

Miami swimwear brand Hera Sea brought a European flair to the runway, featuring its founder, model Laura Monroy pairing up a blue swimsuit with a tiara. Their latest collection featured crochet accents, patterned two-pieces, color gradient bikinis and what Monroy calls “igniting the goddess within every woman.”

Supporting Wellness & Programming

The sponsors brought pop-ups around the runway, featuring wellness experiences from the innovative, frizz-free Laifen Tech hair dryers, to Milan Laser hair removal, sustainable aluminum Kopu water and the ROLUS Sparkling Hydration Drink.
