Bring on the thongs: Miami Swim Week returns but won’t be the way you remember it

Miami Swim Week will be, um, different this year.

But at least it’s happening, albeit virtually, starting Thursday through Sunday.

Paraiso Miami Beach will host the annual event celebrating all things swimwear related as you watch from the safety of your keyboard perch.

A number of fashion shows and presentations will be produced and livestreamed from the SLS South Beach Hotel; models and other participants will “follow strict CDC guidelines on social distancing and other methods preventing the spread of COVID-19,” according to a release. Events will be hosted in outdoor spaces with mandatory masks, sectioned off areas and “no crowds.” So don’t bother trying to gatecrash like you did last year.

Among the brands showing their Resort 2021 collections are Beach Bunny, Acacia, Vitamin A Swim, Luli Fama, Agua Bendita, Maaji and Verde Limoncellos.
