Fashion meets Technology: Uplive and Hekka Bring Innovative Concepts to Miami Swim Week Runway
MIAMI, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Following the successful collaboration at New York Fashion Week, as a part of Asia Innovations Group, international brands Uplive and Hekka debuted another viral runway show at Miami Swim Week.
Large audiences gathered online and in the renowned fashion hub of Miami South Beach for a week of runway shows, VIP parties, and social mixers. With over 200 brands and designers in attendance, this year’s Miami Swim Week generated more than 1.6 billion global impressions across social media, live streaming, and even the Metaverse.
Uplive, along with other digital platforms, allowed fashion fans from around the world to connect with their favorite brands, models and influencers by broadcasting the event in real time to its 300 million users worldwide. Among the broadcasters were TikTok sensation Tony Lopez (@tonylopez), model and actress Yuvanna Montalvo (@yuvannamontalvo), Latin superstar Juan Carlos Garcia P (juancarlosgarciap) and influencer Daniela Buenrostro (@queenbuenrostro) who were all eager to use Uplive’s streaming platform to share the runaway show with their fans.
As part of Miami Swim Week 2022, Hekka unveiled “Style de Vie,” a 25-piece capsule collection of essential swimwear, following the brand’s successful debut at New York Fashion Week earlier this year. The “Style de Vie” line offers swimwear essentials, apparel, and beach accessories that aim to revive the summer wardrobe and elevate holiday look. All pieces follow the ethos of the brand to support emerging creators, promote the use of natural fabrics and sustainable materials, and celebrate the uniqueness and inclusivity of its community.
