As summer reaches its height, Brazil -based designers are prepared to build relationships with foreign buyers, manufacturers, and other stakeholders in the sector, with support from ApexBrasil
MIAMI , July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ApexBrasil, The Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency, will sponsor more than 50 Brazilian swimwear, beachwear, resortwear, accessory and footwear brands as the international fashion community gathers in Florida for Miami Swim Week. ApexBrasil will bring Brazil's summer-inspired designs to Miami Swim Week in partnership with Fashion Label Brazil and Texbrasil – sectorial initiatives with the mission of representing Brazilian fashion designers, the textile and apparel industry, and the footwear industry, respectively, in the global marketplace.
The Brazilian brands will exhibit at trade shows in conjunction with Miami Swim Week, including destination:miami by COTERIE, Cabana, and SwimShow. These events draw tens of thousands of global buyers, manufacturers, and designers; the location of Miami is unique because it is a leading hub for international design, culture, and entertainment. During Miami Swim Week, Brazilian brands and designers will demonstrate what makes Brazil's fashion and footwear products unique and why international visitors, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers attending Swim Week should consider adding a Brazilian flair to their warm weather offerings for their end consumers. As Latin America's largest economy and a tropical climate world-famous for its pristine beaches, Brazil is a clear design leader for buyers seeking high-quality beachwear and fashion-forward accessories.
Mariele Lais Christ , project manager at ApexBrasil, explained why Miami Swim Week serves as a unique opportunity for industry professionals to experience Brazilian swimwear in person: "Brazilian fashion reflects our culture and heritage, as well as the creativity of Brazilian artisans and designers. Participating in multiple trade shows and activations throughout Miami Swim Week underscores for buyers that Brazilian swimwear, beachwear, resortwear, accessories, and footwear are incredibly versatile and appeal to a broad demographic seeking high quality garments. We invite U.S. and international professionals to join us in Miami to experience the unique design and artistry of Brazil . The Brazilian companies will be showcasing at destination:Miami, Cabana, and SwimShow, with beautifully designed booths to display our unique products."
This is an opportune moment in time also because of the momentum Brazil has built in recent years in this sector specifically. Consider that Brazil exported a total of USD $12 million worth of swimwear, beachwear, and related accessories in 2021, which was 5.5% more than what was exported in 2019, a year before the pandemic. What's more, 2022 is already on track to be a blockbuster year, with USD $5 million exported in the beachwear category from January-April of this year. Should that rate continue, exports could total more than USD $15 million . Importantly, key markets like the U.S. are increasing their reliance on Brazilian swimwear. The U.S. imported 10% more beachwear from Brazil in 2021 compared to 2019, totaling USD $5 million in 2021, making the U.S. the main destination for Brazilian exports in the sector.
Some of the participating Brazilian brands at Miami Swim Week will include, but are not limited to:
Akra Collection features pieces created by designer Samuray Martins in collaboration with Brazilian artisans. The creation process is rooted in "slow fashion," using natural materials and sustainable processes to create timeless pieces to suit customers across generations.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Fears that investment banking would take a big hit across Wall Street in the second quarter looked to be confirmed on Thursday, with JPMorgan Chase & Co and Morgan Stanley reporting that revenues in that business more than halved. JPMorgan investment banking revenue was $1.4 billion, down 61% on the year-ago-quarter, largely driven by a 54% drop in fees across all products, while the bank also took markdowns on some loans in its investment banking businesses of approximately $250 million in revenue. Morgan Stanley reported a 55% fall in investment banking revenues to $1.1 billion with the bank's advisory business taking a 10% hit.

Central bankers around the world are scrambling to adjust to stubbornly high inflation at risk of getting further out of hand and forcing stronger policy actions that increase the risk of a global recession. Already investors in the United States are debating whether the Federal Reserve will now need to deliver a super-sized 100 basis point interest rate hike, the largest since the 1980s, at its upcoming meeting on July 26-27 after a dire inflation reading on Wednesday showed price pressures broadening and accelerating to a more than 40-year high with little relief in sight. Strong and widespread inflation elsewhere against a backdrop of impulses from strong demand, supply chains snarled by the COVID-19 pandemic and reverberations on global food and energy supply from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is also causing other central banks to take actions of a magnitude unthinkable just a few months ago.
