Mars the Label - Fashion Presentation

Event: Miami Swim Week "The Shows" - 5/30/25

The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived as Miami Swim Week was back for another season of fashion shows and networking with the top designers & models in the industry. On Friday, May 30th, a total of seventeen fashion brands would showcase their Amazing collection on the runway at the one and only Mondrian Hotel South Beach. Arianna Ajtar who is the founder and CEO of Mars the Label, presented her latest swimwear garments to open the show. There were a total of 39 swimwear garments which included one piece, two piece, cover ups, and more.

One of the models who caught our eye walking the runway was Chiamaka Offorjebe who was born in Nigeria and is currently based in Dallas, Texas. She is 5'10" but if you asked her, she would tell you that she walks the runway like she's 10 feet tall! During the show, she wore a dark brown two piece swim set with a coverup draped around her.

Chiamaka was kind enough to answer some questions for us in an exclusive interview. We asked her the following questions below:

How long have you been a runway / fashion model and what inspired you to consider the profession of modeling?

I’ve been modeling for over 7 years now. What first drew me to the profession was the artistry behind it - the idea that people from different backgrounds and talents come together to create something beautiful. The fashion industry, at its core, is built on collaboration, and that creative energy inspired me. The moment I knew I wanted to pursue modeling professionally came in 2019, when I booked my first major campaign with Fenty Beauty. It was the first time I truly felt seen. After facing a string of rejections, getting that "YES" - especially as a freelance model, felt surreal. It gave me the confidence and motivation to keep going and to deepen my commitment to the craft. Since then, modeling has taken me into rooms and across countries I never imagined I’d be in. It’s been an incredible journey that all started with that one breakthrough moment.

"Mars the Label". What was it like to walk for such an Iconic brand?

Walking for Mars the Label was truly surreal. Just being cast by such an iconic brand was a moment I’ll never forget. I’ve admired Mars the Label for so long. Their designs are bold, empowering, and the quality is unmatched. You can feel the luxury and intention the moment you put it on. It was an absolute honor to represent their vision on the runway.

Describe what it was like to walk in the shows especially at the beautiful Mondrian South Beach.

Walking in the shows at the beautiful Mondrian South Beach was truly an unforgettable experience. The energy, the setting, and the entire production were absolutely stunning. Huge thanks to the Miami Swim Week team for curating such an incredible show. Every designer I walked for brought something unique to the runway, and I deeply resonated with their brands and the stories behind their collections. It was an honor to bring their visions to life.

What started your journey into covering fashion shows?

My journey into fashion began in high school when I attended the High School of Fashion Industries in Manhattan. I’ve always had a passion for fashion illustration and design. I began sketching at a young age, and now my work primarily focuses on bridal wear. This September, one of my designs will be featured at New York Fashion Week. Covering fashion shows allows me to stay inspired, connect with other creatives, and continue growing in the industry I love.

This event was held at the Mondrian South Beach hotel. Describe your experience of covering "The Shows". The multiple Red Carpet backdrops, The runway over water, etc...

It was a very unforgettable experience to see The Shows at the Mondrian South Beach. The setting added a special feeling of elegance and excitement with the stunning view of Biscayne Bay as the backdrop. The runway set above water was one of the most stunning elements. It gave each designer's presentation a daring, dramatic vibe. Additionally, there were several red carpet locations throughout the event, which were ideal for taking chic pictures, press moments, and interviews. The inventiveness, style, and lively spirit of Miami were all there in the electric energy. Meeting a gorgeous model and seeing her walk the runway was a particular highlight for me. It added to the experience's inspiration and memorability.

Give the audience your take on the runway collection presented by "Mars the Label".

My take on the runway collection presented by "Mars the Label", is that it was a great show. The venue was very beautiful and the energy was amazing. Each outfit was self-assured, strong, and shamelessly statement-making, highlighting the brand's ability to strike a balance between edginess and elegance. Mars the Label made it obvious that their clothing is for the woman who wants to own any space she enters, from the runway design to the general vibe. It was fashion-forward, fierce, and completely unique

Chasity's favorite "Mars the Label" outfit:

The garment that stood out to me the most is The Vela Maxi Coverup because it is the perfect blend of effortless luxury and coastal elegance. The powder blue shade feels soft, feminine, and perfect for beach side settings or poolside lounging. I’d wear it for its flowy silhouette that flatters all body types while still feeling light and breathable. It’s the kind of piece that makes a statement without trying too hard whether you're heading to a resort brunch or just want to elevate your swimwear look, it adds that touch of sophistication and confidence. It’s not just a coverup, it's a whole vibe.
