Inspired.

My friend Amanda, who has been helping me out with the collection, as well as designing a few pieces of womenswear to go along with the bikinis, has come across a goldmine!
Her amazing mother and aunt have been able to conserve vintage YSL, MISSONI, and other French vintage pieces, including swimwear!
I had a blast trying on some of the swimwear which dates back almost 60 years, and I have been inspired once again to recreate an image that is timeless.

Here is one of the suits I tried on that with a few edits and minor design updates, will be a fancy addition to my collection :)



I love it. This is the exact reason I need to travel the world (again) and find a few hidden gems to inspire me for collections to come.
The time will come, I'm not worried about it. For now, I need to get back to WORK!
