Miami Beach, FL – July 18, 2013 – Each year at the height of Summer, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim transforms Miami into a sexy fashion haven. The 2014 swimwear collections have arrived and Miami Beach’s chicest venues are getting ready to showcase all of the beauty and style. Last year marked the 30th Anniversary of Swim Show Miami, the convention that started the tradition of summer swim shows in Miami Beach. This year World Red Eye will be covering the entire IMG showcase that made Miami Beach the fashion destination that it is today.

This year some of the hottest shows and events are back and we are introducing some newcomers as well. Saturday night, Chloé will be back to Soho Beach House with a 2014 collection that we can only imagine will be as sophisticated and elegant as last year’s stunning show. Also at SBH, is the Wildfox Runway Show on Sunday that will bring an edgy vibe to the swim scene. For a look at some of the industry’s most exciting designers on the runway, the 31st annual Swim Show will turn the Miami Beach Convention Center into a swimwear sanctuary. The 2014 Capsule Collection Show at The Raleigh Hotel, presented by Tara, Ink. will mark the finale of the whirlwind week of fashion.

Take a look back at last year’s events that made the 30th anniversary a week to remember and keep checking World Red Eye  for everything Swim Miami Beach.
