The Blonds Miami Swim Week 2023 Runway Show

The Blonds are inherently about excess – even at the beach. For their first official foray into resort wear, they have created a collection of pieces that will take you from slinking by the pool in heels to the hottest nightspot imaginable.

Inspired by the seminal seaside film Overboard starring Goldie Hawn, mixed with Miami Beach in the ’90s, and a cast of colorful characters like fan-favorite Teletubbies, the Miami Swim Week moment is literally all about fun and making magic in the sun. The Blonds welcomed guests to Paraiso on Saturday with a reception held at Queen with cocktails by House of Suntory while also closing out the weekend on Sunday as the finale show with an afterparty at Miami Beach EDITION.
