During Miami Art Week 2025, Miami-born luxury swimwear and resortwear label Luli Fama delivered one of the week’s most vibrant celebrations of fashion, culture, and Miami glamour with Luli Basel, an exclusive VIP luncheon and dockside runway presentation held at the iconic Kiki On The River.
Bringing together top influencers, media, and tastemakers, the event blended waterfront luxury with the brand’s unmistakable energy, marking a standout moment in this year’s art week festivities.
Set along the glimmering Miami River, the afternoon opened with glasses of champagne and a lively crowd dressed head-to-toe in Luli Fama. Guests gathered dockside for the debut of Luli Fama’s Spring 2026 collection, launching this January. This presentation highlighted the brand’s signature vibrant prints, sun-soaked color palette, and universally flattering silhouettes. Models walked a runway staged directly on the waterfront, giving the new designs a backdrop of boats, palms, and Miami’s signature golden light.

While the fashion show took place on the dock, the luxury yacht docked beside the presentation added an elevated layer of experience throughout the event. Guests were invited aboard for photo moments and exclusive access, transforming the yacht into a creative hub and social backdrop. Illustrator Deanna First hosted live sketch sessions on deck, drawing custom mini portraits of guests in their Luli Fama looks — a personalized keepsake that captured both the artistry and confidence that define the brand’s “Luli Babe” ethos.
Following the runway presentation and yacht experience, guests returned to Kiki On The River for a beautifully curated family-style luncheon. The meal featured a selection of the restaurant’s signature Mediterranean-inspired dishes, creating a celebratory atmosphere that encouraged connection among attendees.
