Next month, the Miami Swim Week Shows are returning with in-person trade shows, appointments, runway shows and various events, taking place from July 7 to 11. Across the Swim Week Tradeshows, swim and ready-to-wear brands ranging from emerging and established are making their Miami debuts. Here, WWD spotlights five new swimwear exhibitors — and labels to watch — across the Miami Swim Week Tradeshows: Cabana, Coterie and Paraiso.
“The ethos of the brand is centered around a seasonless product which supports a slow fashion model as well as a versatile design.”Founder/Designer: Kali‘a Leimakani Kekela Wasson I also use the brand to educate people about the Hawaiian language as well; naming each piece a Hawaiian name meaningful to her. The brand offers a unique story, one that comes from seeing Hawai‘i from a different point of view than as a tourist destination. I stand for representation of Hawaiian heritage and culture and my heart shows through each of my designs and campaigns. Leimakani is definitely more than just a swimwear brand,” the founder stated.
