Miami Swim Week Spring 2026 Information

The Bureau Fashion Week or The Bureau, is a leading fashion week producer that we partner with that organizes fashion events across multiple cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Miami. Please follow them on Instagram!

It is important to note that Miami Swim Week is a collective term for fashion shows dedicated to swimwear that take place at the end of May. These shows are organized by different designers, brands, and organizations, including The Bureau.

The events take place in different venues across Miami, but they are all part of the larger Miami Swim Week season.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or stepping onto the runway for the first time, preparation is key to owning the stage! We highly recommend dedicating time to practice your runway walk and poses leading up to the show.

This will not only help you feel confident but also ensure that your movements flow seamlessly with the collection you’ll be showcasing. Practice in the shoes you’ll be wearing, experiment with different poses, and familiarize yourself with walking to the rhythm of various types of music.

For extra tips and inspiration, watch our previous shows to see how models brought the designs to life. Pay attention to their pacing, posture, and transitions—every detail adds to the overall performance.

Remember, the runway is your moment to shine—perfecting your walk and poses can make all the difference in leaving a lasting impression. You’ve got this!

No, you don’t. Allie has carefully curated and designed custom looks specifically for each model to showcase during the show. These looks are thoughtfully crafted to align with the collection's vision and theme, ensuring a cohesive and striking presentation on the runway.

You’ll find out which fabulous outfit you’ll be wearing the morning of the show—how exciting! This element of surprise is all part of the magic and thrill of the fashion world, where creativity and spontaneity take center stage.

Trust the process, step into your role, and get ready to rock the runway in style. After all, this is what the fashion world is all about!

Yes! After the show, your runway outfit is yours to take home as a special keepsake. It’s our way of thanking you for bringing our designs to life on the runway. Each piece is custom-made, making it a unique memento of your time as part of the show.

We hope you’ll enjoy wearing your swimwear beyond the runway, whether it’s to make a bold statement at the pool or to relive the magic of the show. It’s a little piece of the fashion world you can carry with you!

Please come with nails that are clean and not chipped, as everything shows on camera.

Toenails should also be painted, since models will be wearing open-toe shoes.

It's entirely up to you - you will be happy with both. We describe the perks of VIPs above - but they are more expensive. The feedback we have received in the past is that the top benefits of the VIP seats are that you have an unobstructed view of the runway - which is great for personal photos and videos.

The 2:30pm show will be anywhere from 1 hour to 90 minutes, depending on the number of designers. Our segment will be approximately 15 minutes. We ask you NOT to leave early out of respect for the other designers, and due to the fact that the show will be recorded. The designers will be presenting back-to-back so there will be no intermission. The Bureau will also mention this right before showtime. ;-)

You’re welcome to wear whatever you like, but we encourage everyone to dress up and have fun with it. Since the show is outdoors in Miami Beach, we recommend outfits that feel polished but comfortable in warm weather.

If you’re unsure, you can’t go wrong with bold colors, tropical prints, metallics, or soft pastels. Think light fabrics, open-toe shoes, and something you’ll feel confident in as you move around the venue.

The Bureau requests that no parents are allowed backstage, but they have been flexible with us in the past. They physically cannot have everyone backstage as there will be multiple designers and models in a small space. If you want to check in and make sure things are going okay, we can work with you on that. But, we encourage you not to stay for the entire time. Allie will also be backstage the entire time, and will have assistants helping. We will also ask our older teen models to look out for our minis! Don't worry, everyone will be fine!

See Emma's video for this tip! Definitely pack a bag! Bring extra make-up and hair supplies for touch-ups, snacks, water and comfy shoes. The day will be long - but so worth it! Also we recommend bringing a bag with a zipper and your child's name on it! We don't want you to lose anything!

We are flexible! You can post whatever you like, including behind-the-scenes photos/videos before the show and iPhone photos and videos of the show. Be sure to tag us in your posts, stories, and reels! We love getting social media feedback on our fashion week designs before we decide what looks to bring into production next season!

The Bureau will provide us with runway photos and video of the show. We will give them to you via a Dropbox link 1-2 weeks after the show. We will also post the video on our YouTube Channel. There will also be opportunities for additional photos and editorial video for purchase. We will provide more information about that closer to the date.
