When the lights dimmed and the first model stepped onto the runway at Paraiso Miami Swim Week, it was immediately clear — Aventura Swimwear hadn’t come to blend in.
The crowd hushed, phones raised, and energy in the room shifted. In a weekend filled with bikinis and flashes, this show was something else entirely: a debut that didn’t whisper but roared.

Founded on the shores of Croatia and handcrafted on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Aventura Swimwear made its international runway debut with a statement that couldn’t be ignored. From the first look to the finale, the brand captivated audiences with a powerful fusion of bold silhouettes, ethical craftsmanship, and unapologetic femininity.
The collection reflected what Aventura stands for: modern elegance that’s sexy but never shallow — consciously created, ethically produced, and built to last. Every look told a story of freedom, strength, and transformation.

Sustainability, the Aventura Way
Aventura’s commitment to sustainability goes far deeper than surface-level slogans. The brand’s core fabric is ECONYL® regenerated nylon — a luxurious, high-performance material made entirely from ocean waste such as abandoned fishing nets, carpet scraps, and industrial plastic. This isn’t just fashion. It’s regeneration. “Sustainability isn’t a trend. It’s a responsibility,” says Erik Leutar, founder of Aventura. “We all need to think about how our actions ripple forward. With Aventura, I wanted to prove that luxury and sustainability can not only coexist — they can empower each other.”
The Show They’ll Remember
The runway came alive to deep house beats, minimalist lighting, and an audience brimming with editors, stylists, and tastemakers. Models of different backgrounds, shapes, and cultures brought the collection to life — each one radiating a kind of beauty that felt bold and effortless.
The showstopper moment came when Phoebe Davis, the face of the brand, closed the runway in Aventura’s signature white one-piece — a striking asymmetrical silhouette in the label’s exclusive print, adorned with sculptural metal accents that caught the light like sunlit waves.
As she moved with quiet power, the crowd erupted. It wasn’t just a finale — it was a coronation. Aventura’s place in the new wave of luxury swimwear was sealed with that walk.

“There was this collective moment of ‘Wait… who are they?’” one fashion editor was overheard saying after the show. “It felt like discovering something new — and important.”
Social media lit up within minutes. Videos of Phoebe Davis’s closing walk in the white signature piece quickly circulated, garnering thousands of views. Aventura’s Instagram saw a spike in followers, with comments pouring in from women praising the bold cuts and stylish details.
A Collection That Speaks Louder Than Words
Each design in the collection was a masterclass in contrast: minimal but daring, sleek yet sculptural. Custom metal detailing shimmered against rich jewel tones and timeless neutrals. Cuts ranged from high-rise Brazilian bottoms to architectural one-pieces that felt as ready for fashion editorials as they were for elite beach clubs.
From the bold Venus Red, Turquoise blue to the brand’s exclusive Signature Print, Aventura’s palette balanced sensuality with sophistication. Every stitch spoke to quality. Every silhouette was built to celebrate the female form — not reshape it.
“Our swimwear is made for women who want to feel confident — whether they’re dancing barefoot on a beach or stepping into a luxury resort,” says Leutar. “It’s not about chasing trends. It’s about owning your power.”
What Comes Next
With its webshop live and shipping worldwide, Aventura Swimwear is already gaining traction among fashion-forward customers across Europe and the U.S. Following back-to-back runway appearances in Miami and Ibiza, the brand is now deepening its reach through strategic partnerships with selected boutiques, influential brand ambassadors, and curated PR campaigns on both continents.
Each collaboration is handpicked — not just for reach, but for authenticity. Aventura isn’t here to ride trends. It’s here to reshape luxury swimwear with real values, real women, and lasting impact.
About the Founder
Aventura Swimwear was born from the vision of Erik Leutar, a Croatian marine scientist turned fashion entrepreneur. After years of studying the devastating effects of plastic pollution in our oceans, Erik decided to channel his knowledge and passion into something tangible. The result? A swimwear label that doesn’t just celebrate the sea — it protects it.
“Aventura was never meant to be just another swimwear brand. It’s a call to action. A way of saying that you can love fashion, live boldly, and still do good,” Erik shares.
Aventura Swimwear is not a trend. It’s a turning point.
