Miami Swim Week, as usual, brought out fashion lovers to check out the latest styles in swimwear July 7-11. They also came to be a part of the scene with swanky parties taking over classic Miami locales.

An 80 ft. runway stretched out along Espanola Way for the Pink Influence WAVE Fashion Show on July 8, and six designers had their models strut their stuff to show off their looks. Included were Lila Nikole, Sol De Mar Swimwear, House of Athlete, Muurswagg, RoseMio and Miami Art Body Tape. The event also showed off the renovations made in the area, within the Washington Avenue Business Improvement District (WAVE). The show was called “A Touch of Euphoria” and the theme was pink! The emcee was Kayln James and music was spun by DJ Nuny Love and DJ Dinero.

WAVE and the non-profit Silent Victims of Crime donated a percentage of proceeds to children of incarcerated parents, to help them academically and provide social support and mentoring. The program was founded by Tinkerbell. 

“With the positive changes happening on Washington Avenue like the Goodtime Hotel, Moxy Hotel, art and cultural activities, we now have our first mural on Washington Avenue, new lighting, cleaner streets, new clubs, bars and restaurants, wrapped electrical boxes and historic banners streaming down the avenue,” said Troy E. Wright, executive director.

Sponsors included Uncle Nearest, Tito’s Vodka, Stella, Michelob Ultra Seltzer, Eagle Brands, Anheuser Busch, Skinny Fizz Champagne, We Stream, D’Nomad Mangia Cookies, Mammamia Gelato, Miami Ballon Garden, Hot Shotz, Chic Collections, Bond Party Supply, Dimple Face Make Up, Nyambi Naturals, Pop Up Structures, The Chicken Spot, Moxy Hotel, Greater Miami’s Convention Center and CAMEO.
