Victorious in the 62nd Junior Orange Bowl Tennis Championships, Paving the Way for a New Era in Junior Tennis Excellence.

The courts of the Junior Orange Bowl (JOB) International Tennis Tournament witnessed extraordinary athleticism and sportsmanship throughout the 62nd edition, culminating in a spectacular “mini U.S. Open” that showcased the brightest young talents in the tennis world. From December 12 to 21, 2023, Miami hosted 800 exceptional junior players aged 12-and-under and 14-and-under, representing an impressive 76 countries.

Emerging victorious in the prestigious Junior Orange Bowl Championships were Jang Junseo (KOR) in the 12-and-under boys’ category, Andrew Johnson (USA) in the 14-and-under boys’ category, Daniel Baranes (ISR) in the 12-and-under girls’ category, and Jana Kovackova (CZE) in the 14-and-under girls’ category, all delivering stellar performances.

Despite inclement weather conditions throughout the first few days of the tournament, the event attracted local and international tennis aficionados and fans with the presence of notable tennis star Ajla Tomljanovic, who graced the tournament with her unwavering support and shared inspirational advice with the rising stars.

The 62nd edition of the Junior Orange Bowl International Tennis Championships not only showcased the peak athleticism of young tennis stars but also marked a transformative chapter in the tournament’s legacy. Driven by new Tournament Director Robert Gomez, the 2023 JOB embraced a vision that sought to elevate the player experience to new heights while providing sponsors with an unparalleled marketing platform.

“The 62nd Junior Orange Bowl Tennis Championships surpassed our expectations as a blend of tennis excellence, sportsmanship, and community participation,” said Robert Gomez, tournament director. “This tournament stands as a testament to the boundless potential of young athletes and the unwavering support of sponsors, furthering the JOB’s legacy that will continue to resonate in the hearts of tennis enthusiasts for years to come.”

Acknowledging the pivotal role of sponsors in making the tournament a resounding success, the JOB extends heartfelt gratitude to its sponsors: Wilson, Laurel Springs Schools, The City of Coral Gables, LAT Tennis, Marka Sports, Adonel Concrete, SwingVision, Edge International Sports Agency, Freud Group, Halo Hydration, and Youngstars.io.

“Our sponsors’ commitment to providing an unmatched experience for both competitors and attendees played a vital role in the revamped tournament,” said Michael Wiesenfeld, JOB Tennis Committee member who spearheaded the new vision and sponsorship platform centered around enhancing players’ experience. “Several kids told me they had the time of their lives after the players’ party. The committee and sponsors were filled with joy to build a lifetime bond with them!”

As the final serves were aced and the champions crowned, the 62nd Junior Orange Bowl International Tennis Championships, presented by Laurel Springs School, stood as a landmark event, combining athletic excellence, an enriched player experience, and meaningful business partnerships. The JOB looks forward to continued growth and success in the years to come as we celebrate the next generation of tennis pros.

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami

Published

on

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.


 August 20, 2026

Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.

South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.

The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.

On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.

Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection

Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.

Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.

The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.

We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.

Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.

It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.

Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami

There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.

In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.

A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.

Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.

Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.

The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.

Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall

Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.

The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.

Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.

Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar

Fashion is only part of the experience.

For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.

Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.

The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.

Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.

The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.

A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home

For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.

Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.

Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.

And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.

After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.

Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
