The show began with a creative take on children’s swimwear. Introducing Draw On Swim, an interactive fashion experience for your little ones. The sustainable brand encourages children to release their “inner artist.” Young models set foot on the runway in their creations. The swimwear brand has one-pieces, rash guards, and swim shorts all coming with markers designed to be used on the suits. With the intent to unleash creativity, Draw on Swim made big in its Miami Swim Week debut.

The tone of the runway transformed into an ode to the beauty of Australia. Hunting Hue’s first collection, Icons Of Sydney, Australia, took the runway by storm. Each swimwear piece had the intent to reflect the city’s loveable qualities.
