The Best of Paraiso Miami Swim Week 2026

The 22nd edition of Paraiso Miami Swim Week wrapped on May 31, following four sunshine-packed days of runway shows, brand activations, and after-parties that took place across Miami Beach.

Officially kicking off on May 27 with the Swimwear Icons Hall of Fame, Honors Night (SIHOF), which took place for the second consecutive year, Paraiso Miami Swim Week returned with its signature tent in Collins Park, with coinciding events taking place at the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel, the newly reimagined Delano Miami Beach, The Ritz-Carlton South Beach, and 1111 Lincoln Road. Buyers, press, and industry members from more than 60 countries came to preview spring, resort, and cruise 2026/2027 collections from 100 participating brands, including Monday, Hot Girl Summer, Oh Polly, and Kulani Kinis. Here, FashionUnited shares some of the highlights from Paraiso Miami Swim Week’s 22nd edition.

Monday opens Paraiso Miami Swim Week 2026

The official show schedule for Paraiso Miami Swim Week opened with a runway show from Monday at the Collins Park Tent. Founded by Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman, the swimwear brand presented its French Riviera-inspired collection, ‘Tile Geo,’ for summer 2026. The lineup included a range of resort wear with Missoni-influenced geometric prints and woven knits, as well as bikinis and swimsuits with metal detailing, tie-up details, and sheer mesh cover-ups. The resort wear and swimwear collections were designed to reflect the easy elegance of a Mediterranean summer, with the brand's signature flattering silhouettes built around contouring support, comfort, and versatile styling at the heart of the collection.

The runway show also marked several firsts for the brand, including the debut of Monday Swimwear footwear and an expanded line of eco-conscious fabrics and raffia accessories. “This year’s presentation feels like a true reflection of how Monday has evolved, beyond swimwear into a complete vacation wardrobe and lifestyle,” said co-founders Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman on Instagram on the collection presentation.

Megan Thee Stallion walks in Hot Girl Summer show at Paraiso Miami Swim Week 2026

Artist Megan Thee Stallion created arguably one of the most-talked-about moments of the week at the Collins tent on Thursday, 28 May, returning for the second runway show of her Hot Girl Summer swimwear line, a year after debuting it at Paraiso in 2025 and taking the Cultural Icon award at the inaugural SIHOF Honors Night. The rapper took to the runway herself, closing the show of a 20-piece collection of bikinis, monokinis, one-pieces, and cover-ups in seashell-inspired prints across red, orange, pink, and green for women, wearing a halter-neck monokini with a swirling seashell-inspired graphic and dramatic side cut-outs. The Hot Girl Summer runway show also included the debut of a nine-piece, Hot Boy Summer menswear capsule collection of swim trunks and graphic tanks, and the Hot Dog Summer pet apparel line.

Shan & Oséree return to Paraiso Miami Swim Week 2026

Canadian fashion brand Shan, which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, presented a range of elevated coastal and modern resort wear for men and women on Friday evening. The collection includes a range of carefully draped and constructed styles that served as a reminder of how much of resortwear's design language Shan helped shape over the years.

Italian resort and swimwear brand Oséree returned to Paraiso Miami Swim Week on Friday after making its debut at the Swim Week last year, closing out the tent for the night with a show titled ‘La Passerella.’ A tribute to Italian summers, the 1970s, and the spirit of Studio 54, the collection saw the brand mix its Italian craftsmanship approach with a fresh, feminine edge. One of Oséree's signature prints was also featured on a custom-wrapped Mini USA car from Paraiso's branded partnership fleet to further mark the occasion.

Oh Polly returns for 5th year to Paraiso Miami Swim Week 2026

British contemporary brand Oh Polly returned for the fifth year, presenting its ‘Copacabana’ collection at the Collins tent on Saturday afternoon. The brand took a more theatrical direction this year, showcasing the collection's story from ‘Rio to Runway’ through immersive video and set design, a first for the brand. Inspired by 1970s Copacabana, the collection included 22 pieces in various shades of chilli reds, warm yellows, and sunset oranges, with retro-style stripes, polished gold hardware, and handcrafted textures throughout the designs.

Reversible micro silhouettes shifted between statement prints and contrast-colour solids, while sheer knit cover-ups and sequinned fringe styles extended the collection from day into evening. "With Copacabana, we wanted to capture the energy, sexiness, and optimism of a Brazilian beach summer through a modern lens," said Katie Cryer, lead designer at Oh Polly, in a statement.

Australia brand Kulani Kinis shows at Paraiso Miami Swim Week 2026 for the first time

Kulani Kinis made its Paraiso Miami Swim Week debut, staging an immersive runway experience titled ‘Endless’ on Saturday. The Australian swim and lifestyle brand structured its runway show in three acts. Opening with ‘Archive,’ a reimagining of past Kulani pieces; moving into the present with 12 looks from its upcoming Diving for Pearls collection, a dreamlike range shaped by ocean iridescence; and closing with a faster, glossier preview of a new Kulani world that will be launched later this season.

The show also saw the debut of a six-piece co-branded sunglasses capsule with Sojos Eyewear, and a custom-wrapped Mini USA was parked outside the tent’s entrance. "Celebrating our first runway with friends of the brand and new friends at Sojos Eyewear was our way of honoring where we began while showcasing what's next," said Dani Atkins, Co-Founder and CEO of Kulani Kinis, in a statement.

Luli Fama marks 20th anniversary at Paraiso Miami Swim Week 2026

Luli Fama returned to the Paraiso runway in the Collins Tent on Saturday afternoon, marking its 20th anniversary. The show opened and closed with choreographed dance numbers, with a full range of looks featuring the brand's signature bright colors and bold prints, and elegant classics that nodded to its two-decade trajectory.

This year's edition of Miami Swim Week continued Paraiso's expansion from a Miami-anchored fashion week into a more international resort-luxury platform. "For more than two decades, Paraiso has served as the global gathering place for the swimwear industry, bringing together designers, retailers, media and creative leaders who continue to shape the category. This year, the continued growth of the Swimwear Icons Hall of Fame reflects our commitment to not only celebrating the industry's future, but also honoring the individuals whose contributions have helped elevate swim and resort wear into one of fashion's most influential global sectors," said Natalija Dedic-Stojanovic, Co-Founder, Paraiso Miami Swim Week, in a statement.
