(June 2016 – MIAMI) – An extension of the previous Salon Allure trade show, Hammock returns to Swim Week 2016 for its seventh year, with more creative exhibition spaces, sell-out suites and brand-new events during Swim Week, July 16th – 18th. Recognized as Swim Week’s premiere luxury lifestyle show, the much anticipated Hammock will take place at the W South Beach Hotel & Residence.
A departure from the traditional trade show, Hammock will feature a variety of domestic and international swim, resort and accessory brands as they showcase their 2017 designs in private studios, suites and a gorgeous ballroom space. Having expanded its alternative tradeshow platform, Hammock will increase its sponsor activations and events to incorporate a L’Oréal Professional Styling Station “Hair’s Night Out,” where guests can experience complimentary styling from some of the best stylists in the city; a relaxation lounge offering beauty treatments by Bliss Spa and a Style Wall showcasing the hottest swimwear trends via decorative vignettes.
On Friday, July 15th Hammock will host an opening night party and runway show at the WET pool lounge. This show will feature a variety of luxury brands as they debut their latest collections across the runway. Drawing nearly 1,000 fashion-elite attendees each year, Hammock is renowned for showcasing designer swimwear brands in beautiful hotel suites rather than crowded spaces. With over 80 featured brands, Hammock provides access to more designers and categories, more space and more events.
“As Hammock continues to grow into one of the most anticipated destinations during Swim Week, we are thrilled to deliver even more creativity, categories and couture to this spectacular summer celebration,” said Rick Fatzinger, co-founder of Hammock. “Hammock provides an ideal platform for exclusive designers and niche brands to build relationships with swim and resort buyers during Swim Week while reveling in the best of the industry’s luxury swimwear and accessories.
