Last year, Paraiso Miami Swim Week garnered a media reach of 12.4 billion impressions.
This year Paraiso expects more than 30,000 attendees and more than 7,500 global buyers. With over 60 countries represented, the annual economic impact on the city is expected to be between $50 million and $75 million.
“Paraiso Miami Swim Week holds the same significance in the world of swimwear fashion as Art Basel does in contemporary art. Over the past two decades, the event has not only expanded its scope, but has also increased its visibility,” said Natalija Dedic Stojanovic, creative director and cofounder.
Summer Fashion Summit, a conference owned by Paraiso Miami Swim Week and dedicated to exploring the latest trends and ideas shaping the swimwear market, sustainability, marketing and manufacturing, will take place June 1 and June 2 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Participants include Hilldun, Seafolly, WGNS and Trendalytics, among others. Paraiso has partnered with SwimShow, a trade event which has been in business for more than 40 years and features new and established designers. Paraiso Miami Swim Week also ties in with the Miami Design District, where brands host store parties.
