Miami Beach: Summer’s Capital of Fashion
You’re not in Milan anymore. Miami Beach, famous for its vibrant nightlife, sun-kissed beaches and hosting Art Basel Americas, in July becomes the number one destination for all things fashion. Elite designers descend on Miami Beach to showcase their brand’s innovative and unique creations during dozens of fashion shows at SwimShow 2016 and FUNKSHION Fashion Week Miami Beach. Visitors and locals alike can be a part of the action with satellite parties and events including MIAMI Magazine’s Sun.Sand.SPLASHION with international DJs and lots of entertainment.
“Swim Week is just another example of how Miami Beach has cemented its place as a premier international hotspot for every type of visitor,” says Peggy Benua, Chair, Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA). “Guests can enjoy the beach, visit museums, sample the famous restaurants and bars, and in July they can also attend first-class fashion shows; very few cities can offer all of this.”
Miami Beach’s incomparable cultural diversity, Art Deco architecture and majestic natural beauty make it the ideal venue for the creative fashion world.
“The city’s unique vibe and energy has always motivated and encouraged us to consistently produce one of the best fashion weeks in South Florida,” says Aleksandar Stojanovic, Executive Director, FUNKSHION Fashion Week. “It has been incredible to witness the dramatic evolution that we have seen for the past 10 years at FUNKSHION; we have been successful because we’ve been able to tap into the city’s resources to expand the talent while growing the show, its possibilities and capabilities.”
