Miami, USA

Florida Men’s Fashion Week (FMFW) returns this season with an expanded two-day format, taking place on May 27–28 across two distinct venues in Miami – each presenting a completely different vision of contemporary menswear.

On May 27, FMFW begins at Skatebird Miami, using the skate park as a runway. The opening day highlights urban aesthetics, combining street culture and movement with fashion.

On May 28, the experience shifts to Hilton Miami Aventura, where the atmosphere evolves into a refined resort setting. The second day will highlight swimwear and resort collections, alongside a curated art exhibition, creating a space where fashion and contemporary art intersect. The exhibition also serves as a prelude to the upcoming Art Basel season, offering artists an opportunity to present their work within a fashion-driven context.

A Season Defined by Collaboration

Known as an international platform for emerging talent and cross-industry collaborations, FMFW continues to push boundaries this season with one of its impactful partnerships to date.

Finalists from Beast Games Season 2 are scheduled to appear on the runway as part of the program, modeling for Smart Swim Suits.

Set to premiere on January 7, 2026 on Prime Video, Beast Games Season 2 features 200 contestants competing under the “Strong vs. Smart” concept for a $5 million prize, with episodes streaming globally across more than 240 countries.

Their presence on the FMFW runway introduces a new kind of energy – where entertainment, performance, and fashion converge.

Smart Swim Suits – “Planet Earth” Collection

One of the key highlights of the season is the presentation of the Smart Swim Suits 2026/2027 “Planet Earth” collection, introduced on the runway by Beast Games finalists.

The collection explores the relationship between humanity and nature, drawing inspiration from the fundamental elements of the planet – land, forests, wildlife, and the ocean.

A central part of the collection, “Ocean Beauty,” was created in support of Schmidt Ocean Institute × Nekton, as part of the global Ocean Rising initiative, raising awareness around ocean conservation and the future of marine ecosystems.

Blending innovation, sustainability, and design, the collection positions fashion not only as a visual language, but as a platform for environmental dialogue.

About Florida Men’s Fashion Week

Archaeological and genetic evidence is gradually coming together to bolster the Urantia Book account of pre-historic human migration. According to the book, a people arose in Mesopotamia around 25,000 years ago called the Andites, who were a unique blend of three different ancestry pools, and as these people spread around the world, they brought with them knowledge passed down to them for thousands of years.

Genetically they are carriers of the MCPH1 haplogroup D genetic line which appeared sometime around 37,000 years ago and which spread around the world until today it is present in roughly 70% of modern human beings. According to The Urantia Book, the Andites were aggressive civilization builders who brought technological innovations with them as they migrated.

Derek Samaras has identified one of these technological innovations used to irrigate crops in arid environments, known as the qanat in Mesopotamia, the area of its origin, but by many other different names in different regions.

This technological innovation is thought by modern science to have developed independently in all these areas. The Urantia Book contends the technology followed the people, and the timeline for its appearance in each region follows its account of these migrations.

The Urantia book also claims the temples honoring God originating in this time period were circular, and of course, circular temples are what we see from Göbekli and Karahan Tepe, 9500 BCE; to the Tower of Jericho at 8,000 BCE; Nabta Playa (Egypt) at 7,000 BCE; Carnac (France) at 4,500 BCE; Newgrange (Ireland) at 3,200 BCE; Stonehenge beginning at 3,000 BCE; to Callacpuma in the Andean highlands of northern Peru, which The Urantia Book states was reached by 132 Andite sailors in antiquity.

“The global megalithic tradition has a distribution problem that conventional archaeology has never satisfactorily solved,” states Mr. Samaras. “When you sort the major sites not by culture but by construction date and geography, they do not scatter randomly. They describe a directional expansion radiating outward from a single origin zone in the Anatolian and Mesopotamian heartland, with later dates as distance from the origin point increases.”

He continues: “One of the most powerful confirmations in the entire record is not where the Andites appeared. It is where they did not.

“The Urantia Book is precise: ‘Only a few teachers and traders ever penetrated farther south in Africa than the headwaters of the Nile’ (78:5.5). That is a falsifiable claim. The arid conditions that drove qanat engineering in Iran, Morocco, and the Andes also exist in sub-Saharan Africa, the Kalahari, the Namib, the Horn, and the highlands of Madagascar. If the hydraulic tradition spread by independent invention wherever arid conditions motivated it, we would expect to find it in all of those places. We do not. The qanat tradition, the megalithic precision tradition, and the large-eyed phenotypic iconography all stop below the Nile headwaters. Madagascar has none of it.

“When the boundary a historical source predicts matches the boundary the physical record shows—not approximately, with exceptions, but precisely—that is confirmation. The Madagascar Limit is the clearest single piece of negative evidence for the accuracy of The Urantia Book’s Andite migration account. It makes a specific, geographically falsifiable prediction. The record confirms it.”

Published in 1955, The Urantia Book covers our pre-history, cosmology, and the life and teachings of Jesus with innumerable precise details such as those discussed above. New scientific discoveries tend to confirm rather than negate the accuracy of the book and as time goes on, the Urantia Corps for Spiritual Progress believes this trend will only continue to confirm the accuracy of The Urantia Book.

In a world obsessed with promotions, weddings, and house closings, author Sean K. Brooks is making the case that true fulfillment isn’t found in the distant dream, but in the quiet moments of progress. In his upcoming book, Micro Victories: A Life of Celebration, Gratitude, and Purpose (set to publish 23rd April, 2026), Brooks offers a manual for resetting our internal scales and finding joy in the single moments we usually overlook.

Inspired by a year of dramatic personal upheaval, including surviving a hit-and-run accident and a sudden job loss, Brooks transformed his perspective into a philosophy he calls “Micro Victories.” The book serves as a counter-narrative to the “zero-sum game” mentality that pervades modern culture. Rather than viewing life as a competition, Brooks argues that happiness is built by intentionally stacking small positive actions to rebalance a day tipped by negativity.

“One single negative moment, even as minor as scuffing your new shoes, can cast a long shadow over your entire day,” Brooks writes. “But here’s the trick: by intentionally stacking five small positive actions, or MicroVictories, you can restore equilibrium.”

Blending personal anecdotes with practical philosophy, Micro Victories reads as a reference manual for human connection. It explores the reciprocal nature of relationships, distinguishing between “family” and “relatives” or “friends” and “associates,” and introduces the concept of “The Tree of Connection” to help readers identify their role within their social ecosystem.

The book challenges readers to stop waiting for the “big win” and start celebrating the small tasks, like tying your shoes to go for a run or opening a document to write that first sentence that compounds into a life of purpose.

Micro Victories is currently available for sale at Amazon.
