In the fashion world, spring and fall revolve around the hottest trends on the runways of New York, London, Paris, and Milan.<\/p>\n

Summer is a different story.<\/p>\n

Come July, all eyes shift to South Florida for the annual Miami Swim Week<\/a>, an international event underscoring Miami\u2019s status as a new fashion capital. And in true Magic City spirit, our version of runway couture shows off a bit more\u2026 well\u2026 panache<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As this weeklong event has grown into a must-see global affair, production companies have banded together to present designers in fresh, tropical formats and settings (plus numerous series previously exclusive to the fashion industry<\/a> have transitioned to be accessible to consumers).<\/p>\n

Here, a launch pad for joining the action at this year\u2019s Miami Swim Week and where to find the best beach wear in Miami year-round.<\/p>\n
