Guests were welcomed into the venue’s modern and industrial space with floor to ceiling projections . What set this year apart was the integration of AREA15’s signature video mapping technology, which transformed the venue into an immersive backdrop. The visuals added depth to the runway, creating a striking contrast against the designers’ collections and amplifying the spectacle for attendees.

The designer roster featured a diverse lineup of international talent. Highlights included Giannina Azar, known for her theatrical and dramatic designs; Kenneth Barlis, whose sharp tailoring brought structure to swimwear; and Mister Triple X, delivering his signature edgy aesthetic. Brands like Cirone Swim, Alexis Monsanto, David Tupaz, Lybethras, Christian Audigier, and others offered their own distinctive takes on swimwear.

Each collection offered a unique perspective, some leaning into playful silhouettes, others pushing the boundaries of fabric, color, and embellishment. Together, the designs underscored swimwear’s growing role as not just seasonal attire, but a platform for self-expression and statement-making fashion.
