Our Story

“A curated fashion experience during Miami Swim Week & Art Basel — elevating brands with purpose.”

Zamaith Linares — Founder

Bahía was founded in Miami by designer Zamaith Linares, as a stage where emerging and Latin designers could present their work with the production, audience and press of an international fashion week.

From its first Swim Week edition to the runways of the JW Marriott Marquis — and now to Art Basel week — Bahía has grown into one of Miami's most anticipated independent fashion experiences.
