Miami Swim Week 2016 is the best fashion event here of the year and this year it promises to be better than ever with new pop ups that showcase numerous designers that would otherwise be off the radar screen. Here are some choice events open to the public from July 14 to 17. In some cases you need to reserve, so take note.
NOBE67 had its first Miami popup in the spring with much success (and yours truly bought a fabulous cape that friends were clamoring to know the designer), Now it’s back and will house over 20 independent designers along with established international brands such as Les Canebiers St. Tropez, Cris Berry Swim, Trilogia, Ross & Brown Eyewear, Other World Apparel, Retromarine, Bandit Swimwear, La Playa by Jeux de Vie, By Malka, EKAT Suits, Ibiza Passion and ELA Swimwear among others. Delano’s Orchard area, where the NOBE67 Swim Week pop-up will be held, is a landscaped lawn filled with quirky, Starck-designed “vignettes” – including an antique daybed and oversized chessboard – that lend the feeling of a surreal, beautiful stage and make it an unusual place to shop. A full service bar will be set up with wine, beer and spirits.
The Swim Week Pop-Up will be open Friday through Sunday, from 12pm to 8pm, and as part of its creative programming, NOBE67 will showcase the following events and activities designed to offer a complete Swim Week shopping experience:
Friday, July 15 – Opening Celebration
The Launch Party, hosted by tastemaker Daniela Botero, will take place from 5-8pm, while the Rose Bar will be the unofficial site for the NOBE67 after party. Guests can shop from their favorite designers and discover new ones from 12pm to 8pm.
Saturday, July 16 – Fashion Installation
The Fashion Installation and Cocktail event will begin at 5pm until 8pm, where models will be stationed throughout The Orchard showcasing various styles from luxury swimwear brand, Les Canebiers St. Tropez. All designers and styles will be available for purchase from at 12pm to 8pm.
Sunday, July 17 – Aloha! Sunset Party Swim Week Edition
The Hungry Post will host a Luau-themed barbecue by Chef Jason Bamford and Chef Ryan Nielsen at the Delano Beach Club from 5-10pm. The Caja China Luau Menu ($45 all you can eat per person) includes: whole roasted pig with condiments, charred pineapple salad, mango chutney, spring rolls, fresh local coconut water, quinoa salad, tostones, fruits and pineapple upside down cake. Select nationally renowned bloggers and influencers will be on site sporting various looks from NOBE67’s independent designers, while posting and mingling with guests.
