Swim Week Las Vegas Powered By Art Hearts Fashion, in partnership with Resorts World, has redefined the fashion world by merging style, art, and entertainment into an unforgettable festival. The mantra “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” took on a whole new meaning from August 15-19, 2024, as this inaugural event made its mark across multiple luxurious venues at RWLV, including Zouk Nightclub, Ayu Dayclub, Eight Lounge, Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge, and Fuhu. These exclusive spaces provided the perfect backdrop for a series of dazzling experiences, where fashion met art in the heart of Las Vegas.
Swim Week Las Vegas (SWLV) wasn’t just another fashion event—it was a celebration of creativity, culture, and connection. With over 15 elite designers, 5 world-class DJs, and an array of vibrant venues, SWLV delivered a sensory feast that left attendees spellbound. High fashion, gourmet dining, and electrifying entertainment blended seamlessly, making this festival a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
The lineup of designers at SWLV showcased a mix of visionary talents that left a lasting impression on the fashion world. Local Las Vegas Couture Designer David Tupaz, along with renowned names like Mister Triple X, Sharnel Guy Swimwear, Merlin Castell, Giannina Azar, For The Stars, Joseph Auren, Diana Couture, Asta Razma, Michael NGO, Pink Melon Swimwear, Naughty Boy Golf, Berry Beachy Swimwear, Love For Upcycling, The Black Tape Project, Airstream, and Styx Athletics, brought their A-game to the runway. Adding to the spectacle, DJ sets by industry legends Slander, Savi, Illenium, Kaskade, Duke Dumont, and Quenville pumped up the energy, making every moment unforgettable.
But Swim Week Las Vegas wasn’t just about fashion and entertainment; it was also about making a positive impact. SWLV proudly partnered with the Autism Pride Center (APC) to host their inaugural fashion show, shining a light on the platform’s commitment to inclusion and representation for all. This collaboration highlighted the festival’s deeper purpose of giving back to the Las Vegas community.
In another exciting development, Art Hearts Fashion teamed up with MMGNET to host Style Oasis, a satellite event that served as a vital connection point during MAGIC, PROJECT, Sourcing at MAGIC, and the wider Las Vegas fashion market week. Zouk Group played host, and AIRSTREAM sponsored the event, which featured runway presentations from some of today’s hottest fashion, footwear, and accessories brands. A highlight of the evening was the unveiling of Airstream’s latest collection, accompanied by a special performance from Grammy Award-winning R&B sensation Macy Gray.
The inaugural Swim Week Las Vegas has set a new standard in the fashion world, solidifying its place as an iconic event that’s here to stay. What happens in Vegas is no longer just unforgettable—it’s legendary.

Fashion Informed By Airstream
Born out of Art Deco and driven for decades by an endless curiosity to see what’s over the next hill, Airstream has been around the world, down the highways, the backroads, the dirt and gravel roads, to places where sometimes there were no roads at all. They’ve been used as music studios, tattoo parlors, restaurants and cocktail bars, housed astronauts, actors, and more. You name it, they’ve done it.
Airstream goes everywhere and it attracts everyone – the fashionable, the on-trend, the avant-garde, the pathmakers.
And now they’ve hit the runway with a fashion collection inspired by this iconic symbol of freedom, adventure, and exploration.
