To reduce waste, Luli Fama has its factory, which allows the product to be produced with greater attention to detail than usual; this same feature also allows the brand to be closely aligned with material efficiency. The brand takes this a step further by producing more products from reduced leftover raw materials, such as cosmetic bags, accessories, GWP, etc. Most of this year's runway collection will be available immediately at lulifama.com.
New to Swim Week, Colombian swimwear brand ONE ONE will debut its first-ever runway show on Saturday, 7/16, at 6:00 p.m. Each swimsuit from ONE ONE is made to order.

RIOT Swim is a global destination for high-quality, fashionable swimwear that can be worn yearly. Riot Swim believes that coverage and confidence do not have to be antagonistic.
