COAST is joining the ever-increasing line-up of trade shows, runway shows and events on the busy Miami Swim Week schedule. The trade show, which has been produced in South Florida since 2007, will make its Swim Week debut July 18-19 at the New World Center in Miami Beach. Brands will include Bandolier, Rachel Zoe, For Love & Lemons, and Karina Grimaldi, among others.
“Each year, we strive to do better than the previous,” says Karen Bennett, CEO of COAST. “Our goal is and has always been to provide a very special B2B environment within the fashion industry. Nine years later, we couldn’t be happier to launch new elements and events to better serve our industry.” This year, COAST is debuting a designer installation concept in collaboration with Simonett Pereira of Miami’s Style Mafia. Four designers—Acid NYC, Style Mafia, LUXCHILAS and Deondra Jereé—have been selected to curate an installation that embodies the style and spirit of their brands. The event, encompassing fashion, cocktails and music, takes place July 18 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the New World Center’s Rooftop Garden.
