Art Hearts Fashion Closes Miami Swim Week 2025 With Four Days of Record-Breaking Runway, Star-Studded Parties, and More Than 30 Designer Debuts
Miami Swim Week’s longest-running platform, Art Hearts Fashion (AHF), wrapped its 2025 edition this week after transforming the city’s most coveted venues—Eden Roc Miami Beach, Miami Beach Botanical Garden, Casadonna, Strawberry Moon, Fabel Miami, LIV Nightclub, and E11EVEN Miami—into an all-access celebration of swim, resort, and athleisure style. Over four days and nights (May 29–June 1), more than 30 global designers, 200 models, and a who’s-who guest list delivered runway excellence, viral pop-culture moments, and after-hours performances that reaffirmed AHF’s status as the crown jewel of Swim Week.
A Week of Firsts, Fire, and Front-Row Power
Art Hearts Fashion President and lead designer Erik Rosete launched festivities on Memorial Day Weekend with poolside castings and influencer mixers at Strawberry Moon and Fabel Miami, while beauty partners Billion Dollar Beauty, Moonslice Beauty, Japonesque, Mad Hippie, The Makeup Light, The House of Beauty, and Unite Hairtreated models to on-site pampering. The Official Opening Party at Casadonna drew reality-TV icons Carmen Carrera and Kiki Barth alongside multimedia entrepreneur Victoria Unikel, setting a celebrity tone carried through nightly afterparties at LIV and E11EVEN featuring surprise sets by Ty Dolla $ign and Jaden Smith.
