SWIMMIAMI: Day 1

Photos by: Armandhugon

Day one of SWIMMIAMI was, say it with me now, bananas! I was fortunate enough to be invited to six shows and I did not know what to expect since this was my first time. I've attended NYFW before but I felt Swim Miami was still a different experience all within itself. 

The list of shows on the agenda for day 1 were: Hammock, Prey Swim, Silvia Ulson, HAH (Hot as Hell), KOA and Kaohs. The shows were back to back and I was between two locations for each show so I was super glad I wore very comfortable wedges. My partner in crime, on the other hand, was suffering from her shoe choice that day. 

We did not have much time to do full blown shoots after the shows but we managed to sneak in a few shots in between shows. Nothing like some street-style in Miami with palm trees as your background, right!? I wore a simple green loose jumpsuit with a few accessories. After experiencing the opening night in the crazy Miami humidity, I decided to keep all of my looks both flowy and comfortable as possible. I love you Miami, but this girl was dying with that humidity!

The shows were really diverse in their styles, full of great music, gorgeous swim designs and quirky models down the runway. Each show had its own different vibes and I'm breaking down each show for you guys below!

Prey Swim

Audrina Patridge is one of favorite TV personality babes. I was a big fan of "The Hills" and when I found out she came out with a swim line I was ALL for it. The designs were super cute and trendy and I love that all the models had Shoedazzle shoes on.

Hammock

This show featured a variety of swimsuits, resort looks, and eclectic accessories. I love when shows mix different designers because it is kind of like getting a few shows all in one. I saw some of the best swim accessories in this show!

KOA

KOA Swim was a unique experience because my partner in crime and I had front row. It is not very often you get front row seats to see what different styles will be hitting a beach near you, so I was humbled by the opportunity. This collection was super chic, feminine and playful! The entire show's pieces had a nice mix of nudes and pastel colors.

Silvia Ulson

Silvia Ulson was both flirty and electric. All the models had a really unique head piece to go with each swim look. I absolutely loved the strappy heels on each of the models.

HAH - Hot As Hell

This show really lived up to its name. The show brought together a really cool mix of lingerie and swim wear for all sizes and ages! Don't forget the preggos either; there were a few pregnant models walking down the runway, and I could not be more impressed! Congratulations to all the momma models out there!

Kaohs

I saved the best for last! Kaohs was my favorite; when you take the vibe, the music, and the designs and are able to mesh it in a never before seen way? That gets two heel clicks from me! This show stood out the most for me. Well done Kaohs!
