Spotlight.Fashion collective is proud to unveil three innovative swimwear brands making waves at PARAISO Miami Swim Week 2025, each redefining beachwear through sustainability, high-performance design, and empowering narratives. Meet Aventura Swimwear, BOLDE Wetsuits, and Mariella Swimwear—three distinct labels united by a shared vision of confident, fearless fashion.
Founded in 2025 by Croatian marine scientist and former marine officer Erik Leutar, Aventura Swimwear is a luxury swimwear brand that fuses sustainable fashion with bold, high-end design. Inspired by the power and movement of the sea, Erik launched the brand after witnessing the devastating effects of ocean pollution firsthand. His academic background in marine science and experience working aboard global vessels informed his mission to turn ocean waste into wearable impact. Aventura Swimwear’s Signature Collection is crafted from premium Italian Lycra made with ECONYL®, a regenerated nylon sourced from discarded fishing nets and industrial plastics. Each piece is double-lined for structure and sculpting, and adorned with custom metal details, offering durability, elegance, and fit. Ethically produced in small batches along Italy’s Amalfi Coast, the collection features a vibrant, luxurious palette including iguana green, scarlet red, crystal blue, lilac bloom, signature white print, and tropical patterns like sunset safari and tropical dusk. Erik’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that “true luxury is a reflection of identity,” and that sustainability is not a trend, but a responsibility. Aventura Swimwear’s debut collection is available now.
BOLDE Wetsuits, founded by Australian shark biologist Amanda Elizabeth, is redefining the wetsuit category with a focus on sustainability, performance, and feminine design. Driven by her deep understanding of the ocean and its ecosystems, Amanda created BOLDE to serve women who live for the water but demand more from their gear—more innovation, more beauty, and more inclusivity. BOLDE wetsuits are engineered using Japanese Yamamoto limestone neoprene, an eco-friendly material that outperforms petroleum-based alternatives in insulation, stretch, flexibility, and durability. The designs feature strategic seams and supportive paneling that contour to the body, creating wetsuits that move fluidly while offering a sleek, sculpted fit. The brand’s current Luminescent Collection, along with a preview of the upcoming Honu Collection—named after the Hawaiian word for sea turtle—will be showcased at Miami Swim Week. Both collections draw inspiration from the vibrant colors and organic movement of the ocean, incorporating hues of turquoise, pinks, purples, blues, and whites. BOLDE’s range includes 3mm and 5mm steamers, bikini-cut and short-leg spring suits, wetsuit jackets, and ocean accessories like silicone snorkel sets and fins. Amanda’s mission is clear: to create premium, sustainable, and empowering wetsuits for water women worldwide. All pieces are available for immediate purchase after the show.
Founded by model and surfer Ellie Blue, Mariella Swimwear celebrates the synergy of style, movement, and self-confidence. Ellie grew up walking fashion runways and surfing the Florida coast, and her brand blends those worlds to deliver bikinis that are both statement-making and functional. Designed with real women and active lifestyles in mind, Mariella Swimwear pieces are made to flatter, move, and empower. The brand’s latest Crocodile Collection draws inspiration from one of nature’s most iconic predators, celebrating strength, sensuality, and untamed elegance. The collection features luxe textures and sculpted silhouettes in a fierce color palette of red, blue, green, brown, yellow, and black with gold accents. Crafted in the USA from Lycra and spandex, the suits are high-quality, durable, and designed to command attention—whether poolside or on the runway. Ellie’s mission extends beyond fashion: 10% of every sale supports the brand’s own charity initiative, helping children in need. With every suit, Mariella Swimwear invites women to embrace their individuality, own their confidence, and make an impact. The Crocodile Collection will be available on a see now, buy now basis following the show.
