SKYY Vodka and Diesel will reveal a sexy new swimsuit collection as a part of Diesel's opening night show this week at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. Special guest on the runway, Kristin Cavallari (The Hills), will unveil Diesel and SKYY Vodka's Capsule Collection: four eye-catching pieces inspired by the vodka's iconic cobalt blue bottle and logo graphics, infused with strong Diesel DNA.

Following the Diesel runway show, Cavallari and DJ Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl), will join SKYY, the vodka of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim, as it presents the Official Kick-Off Party at The Raleigh Hotel, which will also showcase décor themes of Diesel Island, the fashion brand's latest campaign.

The exclusive Diesel runway show, taking place at 7 PM on Thursday, July 14 at the Cabaña Grande venue at The Raleigh, will feature a limited-edition collection of men's and women's Diesel-designed swimwear inspired by SKYY. The centerpiece of the show will be the unique, show-stopping piece modeled by Cavallari.

“I can guarantee the SKYY swimwear created by Diesel is unlike anything you have ever seen,” said Cavallari. “At Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim, SKYY is taking the sexiest event of the week and making it even sexier.”

Later that evening, the Official Kick-Off Party, the most coveted invite at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim, will take place at The Raleigh pool deck and Oasis at 8 PM. The party will feature an array of sensual SKYY Vodka cocktails and a wild beach feel coming directly from Diesel Island, providing the perfect combination for the crowd to dress-down to their summer outfits, along with a DJ set by Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr.

Throughout the rest of the week, SKYY will continue to infuse its signature brand of sexy into the event. From Friday, July 15 to Monday, July 18, SKYY will hold court in its custom VIP cabana in the Raleigh's Oasis. Amid extravagant tropical foliage and a cascading waterfall, the SKYY Cabana, featuring models dressed in SKYY swimwear and seductive SKYY cocktails, will pamper celebrities and fashion insiders in style.

At the exclusive Raleigh penthouse, the invite-only lounge hosting private events throughout the week, select media, designers, celebrities and influencers will enjoy a custom SKYY bar and hand-crafted signature cocktails.

For those unable to finagle an invite to these coveted events, Diesel and SKYY will also bring the pulsating energy of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim to the Diesel store on Friday, July 15 at 801 Washington Avenue for an evening of tantalizing cocktails, shopping and music by Theophilus London. The event, taking place from 7-9 PM, will feature live models modeling Diesel clothing in the windows and celebrity appearances by Szohr and others.
