The Hubs Hottest Suits Hit the Swim Boston Runway

Summer fashion is known to be fun, flirty, and chic. Swim Boston presented by performer.com returned for its annual runway show at the waterfront Boston distillery.

The event started with a VIP red carpet cocktail hour for the city's fashion goers where outfits ceased and the venue gave vintage vibes. The show began with installed style where art, fashion and music opened the stage. The tone was set by the voice of Mackenzie Lee Clement. The center walkway was taken over by Art From the Heart designs, Jeanne D’amico with an assembly of models swaying to the music from Clement.

Pastel petals and denim cuts from Designer Patty Silver opened the Swim Boston Runway with a collection focused on frayed florals and pieces full of energy. Silver uses her vibrant expression to command attention to her retro themes and her artistic flair to sell the piece. Silver has been making her way on the scene and this line is her best yet. It was the head-to-toe old school black and white Chanel tweed with paired leather in perfect placement and the unraveled accent that did it for me.

Simplicity in seduction came next from Designer Laurens Swim who has mastered the art of allure for a woman’s summer staple. She takes bold and basic color pallets and crafts appeal. Her suits have a rope tie theme that highlights curves and give the look of a perfect fit from the impeccable stitching. Bazinet has been paving her way show after show and this fashion institute graduate is one to keep an eye on, she’s headed for the SI swimsuit issue!

Intermission was far from a break in the entertainment with local singer, guitarist, now Californian M.B. Padfield belting out the rock and roll energy. Hosts of the evening Comedian Dave Russo and Pageant, celebrity Chef Victoria Fabbo giving out the trophies to winner from the 2024 Boston Fashion Awards to those like the press pit crew Hill Zhou for Best Photographer.

Continuing on the runway were coverups transitioned to cocktail attire from Epic Elevation who showed a collection true to its brand name. The summer pieces with classic fabrics were sewn to “elevate” from poolside to pair for a night out.

The looks were fished off with a Bogosplit resident, whirlwind jewels by Jessica who brings soul to her handmade jewelry with inspiration from her grandmother and native roots. The chains are must have to layer your outfit for a fierce vibe.

Michaela Lee Designs brought that little blue bikini look to the catwalk. Soft pastels were focal, and her timeless stitching style gave that funk feeling demanding attention. Her Collection ranged from street to suit, ladies to gents. Each piece was handcrafted with her eye for art.

Making another appearance on the Swim Boston runway was Jeanne D’amico with brush print that popped. Well known for her zebra, cheetah, and tiger patterns she showed a line with more of a canvas aura. Giving men’s and women’s looks, Art from Heart SS25 collection showed seduction with high cut lines, couples print in a chic red and black to grab full attention to the hottest couple poolside.

Summer street style followed from Luboya Official who brought a funk flow to the runway. The hip-hop focal line showed classic graphic apparel and gave the show a mood change. The Blaze Babe closed the 2025 Swim Boston Runway with classic must haves to top of that bathing suit.

The set had it all; straw sun hats, head scarves, all white full length coverups, and a super cute cherry print two piece. The showstopper of the was a fur “Kini”. The vision and enthusiasm from the designer sold the retro faux fabric and guests.
