Suns out, swimwear’s out!
Miami Swim Week took over Magic City this weekend, marking the showcase’s tenth year. Over one hundred US-based and international designers gathered in the Sunshine State to stage over fifty events, featuring celebs, spandex, and every kind of ’kini you can imagine.
Some highlights included social media star Alix Earle walking the runway with her three sisters at the Sports Illustrated swimwear show, where Miami Hurricanes basketball stars the Cavinder twins also made their catwalk debut.
