Cabana Show

What Cabana Show does

Cabana Show operates curated B2B trade shows that connect fashion brands with retail buyers in the resortwear, swimwear, and lifestyle categories. The company runs physical events in two US fashion markets — Miami (its home base) and New York City (at STORIED NYC, 547 W 27th Street) — with a recurring calendar that includes Cabana Miami January, Cabana Miami June, Cabana Co-op September, and Cabana NYC September. Exhibiting brands are admitted through a juried application process that requires lookbook submission and sustainability disclosure, supporting a curated assortment of 200+ brands across swimwear, resortwear, accessories, RTW, lingerie, jewelry, activewear, and footwear. The platform's notable buyer roster includes Nordstrom, Harvey Nichols, Bloomingdales, MatchesFashion, Shopbop, and Kirna Zabete.

Cabana monetizes by charging exhibiting brands booth or participation fees for the juried trade events; retailer attendance is managed separately through registration (via a Swoogo event management platform), but buyer-side pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company's go-to-market is event-driven, supported by an Instagram presence (@cabanashow), an email newsletter, an editorial "Stories" section on the website, and the trade shows themselves as the primary bottom-of-funnel channel.

The technology footprint is intentionally lean: the website and brand directory are built and maintained by Labud (Nika Simovich Fisher and Dylan Fisher) on Forest, Labud's in-house CMS, with typography by Milieu Grotesque and VJ Type. There is no disclosed mobile app, no public API or SDK, and no AI/ML components. The company is privately held, headquartered in Miami, founded and led by co-founder Sam Ben Avraham, with no institutional funding, parent company, or M&A activity disclosed in the available data.
