PARAISO Miami Swim Week 2026 Returns to Miami Beach With Its 22nd Edition
By New York Style Guide
Every summer, Miami Beach does something it’s uniquely good at: it turns itself into a runway. From May 28 to 31, PARAISO Miami Swim Week returns for its 22nd edition, and if the lineup is any indication, this year might be its most ambitious yet.
The heart of it all is the same as it’s always been — a sprawling tent across Collins Park, a few steps from the ocean, where the week takes on a life of its own. Runway shows, brand activations, industry meetups, and the kind of spontaneous collisions between fashion and culture that you can’t really plan for. It’s the sort of environment where a buyer from a major retailer might find herself standing next to an emerging designer from São Paulo, both watching the same show, both seeing something they didn’t expect. That’s always been PARAISO’s particular magic.
This season’s confirmed designer lineup spans established and emerging brands: MONDAY, FAE, Oséree, Melissa Odabash, SHAN, Kulani Kinis x SOJOS Eyewear, LainSnow, Oceanus, Luli Fama, Oh Polly, VOGUE Mexico, and Spotlight Collective, among others. Collections on show will span Spring, Resort, and Cruise 2027 — giving buyers and press an early read on what the next year in swimwear actually looks like.
The New Delano, Reimagined
Along with the support of the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority, this season PARAISO Miami Swim Week’s official partners include Delano Miami Beach, Kevin Murphy, NY Makeup Academy, Google Fiber, MINI USA, LaCroix Water, Maker’s Mark, SOJOS Eyewear, Australian Gold, On The Rocks, Hampton Water, FUNKSHION, The Plymouth South Beach, and Tony’s Chocolonely, and Rumor, the official RSVP and invitation platform powering guest experience and event access throughout the week, among others.
One of the week’s most anticipated backdrops is the newly reimagined Delano Miami Beach, returning as a premier venue for exclusive programming. The property — long a magnet for the fashion crowd — will host an Ellen Von Unwerth photography exhibit alongside a Von Faith swim capsule presentation, a Sinesia Karol industry dinner and fashion show, and a series of private events. Mimi Kakushi and Gigi Rigolatto round out the Delano’s programming, keeping the energy running well past sundown.
RISE: A New Stage for Emerging Talent
Perhaps the most significant addition to this year’s program is RISE, a new production concept held at the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel. The concept is simple and genuinely striking: a runway built directly over the hotel’s historic pool, set within an Art Deco property that somehow feels both nostalgic and completely of the moment. The evening will feature immersive DJ sets and a lineup of emerging brands — Lascana, SIGAL, LA.AVANA, Salty Mermaid, Belle D’Amour, Vampire Surf Club, Dianna Yacht Club, Huneys, Aura Maris, Atelier Palacios, Nohre, AvidLove, and Planet Fashion — with haircare by Moncho Moreno and makeup by Ere Perez.
It’s the kind of platform that didn’t exist before, and its arrival says something about where PARAISO is headed. The big names still matter, but so does what’s coming next.
