ANÁSTASIS: The Uprising | MIAMI SWIM WEEK '23

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. For Miami Swim Week 2023,

we transcend 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 shows will take place 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, and Dana Angelino of Coconut Bikini.  

Honorees include Sophie Ringel, founder of Clean Miami Beach; Layana Aguilar, FIT Trained Designer and Entrepreneur; Dotie Joseph, Member of the Florida House of Representatives; Merle Liivand, 4x Guinness World Records Holder and Professional Swimmer.   

This year's show is being hosted by Christine Handy, a breast cancer survivor, international speaker, accomplished model, best selling author, and a nationally recognized Humanitarian. The Wonder Woman Initiative team is thrilled to continue honoring women who have worked tirelessly to make a name for themselves despite many obstacles and challenges.
