DC Swim Week Bounces Back with Bright and Bold Bikinis

DC Swim Week made its Washington return on Friday September 2 after a two-year hiatus. The Hamilton Hotel’s Shuyler Luxury Event Space was a fabulous venue for the runway show featuring 11 international designers.

Since its inception in 2019, the DC Swim Show has been regarded as a premier fashion event for Swim & Resort Collections. The collections were largely advanced contemporary with a modern edge and most notably inclusive across age, size and ethnicity of models.
