Another milestone checked off as a success and satisfaction to the hundreds who attended the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim showcase in Miami Beach. Though it appeared that the torrential down pours would threaten the turnout and outcome of the five days events, the team was better prepared to deliver yet another smashing and well attended Swim Palooza. In the Magic City we are known for our parties and along with the seductive models and skin temptations, at nights the libations were pouring with almost every brand of liquor imaginable and during the days the heat index was amped. And when there is a party, we don’t need celebrities to have a good time. The glamor event was like watching a Sports Illustrated cover shoot with models who have actually graced said pages. Yes models Chrissy Teigen and Irina Shayk were in town for swim.

Although MBFWS, the swimwear arm of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is well established and popular, it draws very few celebrity following. However, when there is a party, we don’t need celebrities to have a good time and we definitely had enough socialites like Jenny Lee Molina and celebrated bloggers to play. A few local celebs and Housewives turned up the heat like Adriana de Moura who strutted her stuff at the A.Z Araujo fashion show and Marisol Patton and who made it to the front row.
