Miami Beach, FL – July 14, 2011 – The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club and Betty Bangs Swimwear kicked-off Swim Week with a BANG ! The hotel transformed into a rock & roll fashion mecca during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Swim Week 2012. Hosted by Hotelier Nathan Lieberman and Designer Beth Gerharts, guests enjoyed a fun night of live music, rock & roll themed cocktails, a Pop Up Shop and none other than the Betty Bangs Show Pony models. Award-winning custom choppers by Warren Lane lined the entrance to The Maxine’s Bistro & Bar while close to 100 custom motorcycles lined up on Collins Avenue. Models adorning Betty Bangs new 2011 swim suits interacted with the crowd and posed for pictures shot by acclaimed photographer Joel Venge. Guests rocked out to live music by Video DJ Tom LaRoc with a live drum performance. The Maxine’s already stylish lounge transformed into a Betty Bangs Pop Up Shop. The pop up shop featured Betty Bangs’ new line as well as some of her more coveted rock & roll inspired vintage pieces. Sponsors included Skinvas make-up, VENGE media and Elements Entertainment.
