WE ARE THRILLED TO SHARE MIKOH’S DEBUT RUNWAY SHOW AT THIS YEAR’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF MERCEDES-BENZ SWIM WEEK IN MIAMI. WE WANT TO THANK MERCEDES-BENZ FOR CHOOSING MIKOH TO BE PART OF SWIM WEEK AND GIVING US THIS SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY TO SEE OUR COLLECTION GRACE THE RUNWAY. THE PROCESS OF GETTING TO THIS POINT HAS BEEN AT MOST REWARDING AFTER THE YEARS OF HARD WORK AND STRONG VISION.
“IMG FASHION FIRST BROUGHT ITS RUNWAY ACUMEN TO SOUTH BEACH IN 2004. BY OFFERING A PLATFORM FOR SWIM DESIGNERS TO DEBUT THEIR RESORT COLLECTION AT PRIVATE, INVITE-ONLY SHOWS, THE ONGOING PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN IMG AND MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK HAS TURNED MIAMI INTO A HUB FOR BOTH EMERGING AND ESTABLISHED LABELS.” READ MORE ABOUT THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK HERE.

MIKOH
MIKOH is a sleek, directional and bold swimwear brand founded and designed by California-based sister duo Kalani and Oleema Miller, offering women’s swimwear and beachwear. Known for its fusion of statement colors, unique prints, and luxurious fabrics, MIKOH has quickly become the go-to swimwear brand for effortlessly cool girls around the world. Born from the Miller sisters’ love of the ocean and an appreciation of the perfect bikini, MIKOH’s statement styles take the effort out of vacation packing.
A must-have for the girl who is always looking to stay ahead of the swimwear game, every MIKOH suit is seamless, hardware free, and provides its wearer an ultra-flattering fit. Both of the Miller sisters contribute a diverse dynamic to the brand, as Oleema designs the collections and is MIKOH’s creative driving force, while Kalani handles the business and strategy end. Kalani and Oleema pride themselves on working together as a duo while complementing the other’s skills
The brand resonates with the quintessential surfer girl and has garnered a devout following due to its impeccable quality and visionary design aesthetic, not to mention durability in both the sand and sea. MIKOH pays tribute to Kalani and Oleema’s surfing roots and lifetime love affair with the ocean, as they were raised by a sunkissed family of surfers in Southern California and have traveled to some of the most legendary beaches across the globe.
