Swim Collective Moves Back to Huntington Beach in August
Swim Collective, the 5-year-old West Coast swimwear show, will return to the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach, Calif., for its Aug. 12–13 run, then move to the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, Calif., in January.
According to Swim Collective founder Shannon Leggett, the move back to the Hyatt was brought on by capacity constraints.
“We decided to move the August show back to the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach with our 200 exhibitors and host the January 2015 show at the St. Regis with 150 exhibitors,” he said in a statement.
Among the labels showing at Swim Collective are Gottex, Mara Hoffman, ále by Alessandra Ambrosio, Beach Bunny Swimwear, Manhattan Beachwear, L*Space by Monica Wise, La Blanca, Ella Moss Swimwear, Jantzen, Seafolly Australia, Raj Manufacturing, Vitamin A, Nautica Swimwear, Volcom, Wildfox Swim, Minimale Animale, Mink Pink Swim, Guess Swimwear, Trina Turk and RVCA.
Swim Collective will also host a preview day on Aug 11 from 4 to 7 p.m. for buyers who want private appointments.
Last November, Swim Collective announced plans to move to Dana Point in August following the news that CurvExpo, organizer of the CurveNY and CurveNV lingerie and swimwear trade show, would host its own West Coast trade show at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach in August. The launch of that show, Riviera by CurvExpo, is currently on hold.
Following the Swim Collective August event, the swimwear trade show will move to Dana Point for its Jan. 15–16 run. For more information, visit www.swimcollective.com.
