Miami Beach, FL – Miami Swim Week 2023 is just around the corner and the 6th Annual Wonder Woman Initiative Shows at Miami Swim Week will be taking place at the Kimpton Angler’s South
Beach Hotel on July 7th and 8th.
“As the Wonder Woman Initiative continues to amplify the voices of women, we further entrench the need for individual and collective mental reformation and positive transformation in ways that sustain the next generation,” says Tayo Ishola who is the Founder and Miami-based Social Entrepreneur. For Miami Swim Week 2023, The Wonder Woman Initiative transcends the borders of the swimwear and resort wear industry to push the need for a social uprising that stands to benefit not only fashion, but seeks to elevate today and tomorrow’s women.
This event, themed “Anástasis: The Uprising,” is sure to give new meaning to the concept of creativity, inspiration, and transformation. Through Anástasis, the Wonder Woman Initiative seeks to create an experience where brands, global leaders, fashion enthusiasts, press, buyers, and guests can connect to push past barriers, enjoy the creativity of a Miami Swim Week experience like none other, strengthen the core of intrinsic wellness, build external agility and grow further in the community.
The festivities will begin with an intentionally curated meet and greet at the Minnow Bar of the Kimpton Angler’s Hotel on the 7th of July. This activation will be powered by Plente, an online
platform that exists to help people embrace a superpower that we all have inside of us, the power to connect. Plente, named after plentiful, is a leader in enriching and empowering diversity-focused connectors with a suite of services and products. The shows will follow on July 8th on the rooftop of the Kimpton Angler’s Hotel, beginning with a 2-hour AfroFusion Buffet experience presented by the I Am Eido brand.
Guests will enjoy live runway shows, live performances, speaker segments, a panel discussion on sustainability and period poverty, and an award-presentation ceremony. The featured designers include Tayo Ishola of I Am Eido, Ashley-Victoria Smith of Voglia Swimwear, Jnaba Diallo of Dieo Collection Resort Wear, Ashlee Monroe of MoLuxe, Dana Angelino of Coconut Bikini, and Keneisha Creary of Chantwa’.
