EMBRACING FUNDRAISING & SUSTAINABILITY
Miami Swim Week® The Shows will commence for the second consecutive year with a charitable fundraising show, benefiting The Little Lighthouse Foundation (LLF). Taking place on July 5th at 8 pm at SLS South Beach, this special event aims to support underserved children and their families throughout South Florida. All proceeds generated from the show will go towards the nonprofit organization. The Little Lighthouse Foundation operates over 20 proprietary programs in collaboration with 33 partner facilities, including homeless shelters, hospitals, and youth centers.
In addition to the main event, another notable highlight is the Hammock Trade Show. This eco-friendly trade event serves as a platform to connect niche brands with fashion buyers and retailers from around the world. From July 8th through July 10th, Emanuel Luxury Venue Miami Beach will serve as the venue for this exciting gathering of industry professionals.
The 1st Upcycle Worldwide Design Competition, a community founded by Jose Alexzander and committed to fostering environmental awareness and sustainability through the art and creativity of recycling, has extended an invitation to currently enrolled design students. The challenge? To craft swimwear and resort wear pieces made predominantly from 95 percent recycled materials.
Miami Swim Week® The Shows has teamed up with sustainable brands Kopu and Masami as official sponsors. Kopu is a domestic luxury bottled water brand that embraces sustainability, boasting a sleek designer bottle made from highly recyclable aluminum, one of the most eco-friendly materials in the world.
Masami, on the other hand, is a clean premium hair care brand that focuses on providing weightless hydration. With a strong commitment to improving sustainability practices and minimizing environmental impact, Masami is constantly seeking ways to reduce its ecological footprint.
