BIKINI INVASION

Miami’s most anticipated Summer event is officially here, FASHION WEEK- SWIM!  That means the marathon of fashion shows and soirées begin today. Buyers, manufacturers, reporters, models, and bloggers from around the world will be attending a series of events focused around swim and resort wear.

And while the official Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week events happen at The Raleigh Hotel, other smaller events also take place around the city. The Miami Beach Convention Center, the W hotel, and even some nightclubs host unofficial satellite gatherings featuring product launches and after parties.(Funkshion – Swim, for example, is offering runway shows open to the general public. This year’s line-up will be featuring designers such as Sinesia Karol, Sonia Vera, Wildfox and even Chloe. For a detailed schedule and to RSVP, email swim@funkshion.com.)

Oh, and in case you’re in need of an escape from the bikini invasion, make sure to stop by the Sagamore Hotel to check out a street-style photo installation featuring 30 of Miami’s top fashion bloggers. You may or may not see some familiar faces ;)

The event is hosted by Sagamore – The Art Hotel, Peroni Italy and Miami fashion blogger Annie Vazquez of TheFashionPoet.com; and you’re invited to join the fun! The Escape Miami Style Lounge provides a getaway from the fashion week chaos with a complimentary, curated fashion and beauty retreat.
