The Miami Swim Week Gifting Bungalow Was Full of Goodies
SI Swimsuit models know that Miami Swim Week is one of the coolest parts of the job. A weekend full of fun vibes, bikinis, backstage dance parties and an adrenaline-inducing runway walk... it really doesn’t get any better.
This year‘s event took place at the beautiful W South Beach on June 1, and the day began with a DOGPOUND workout led by fitness influencer and model Katie Austin, followed by beauty treatments and lots of time for glam. Brand stars and content creators, who were invited to walk the runway for SI Swimsuit, stunned on the red carpet before strutting their stuff on the catwalk.
Throughout the weekend, the women stopped by the gifting bungalow, full of goodies and activations from event sponsors like Poppi, Knix and Tarte. They even learned how to make some fun, summery cocktails.
Thus far, 2024 has been an epic year, as SI Swimsuit celebrated its 60th anniversary and announced the launch of monthly digital issues with Alix Earle as the first cover star. The content creator opened the runway show and walked alongside her three younger sisters on Saturday night.
Thirteen SI Swimsuit models were also joined by seven new faces, including content creators like Earle who have built a strong brand presence online.
Another perk that comes along with participating in Swim Week is a gift bag full of goodies. From wellness items and self-tanning products to cute sandals and summer essentials, here’s everything models walked away with this weekend.
