spring 16 swimwear
Last spring, during an impromptu tour of an abandoned hotel near the Los Angeles foothills, we experienced the work of Dorothy Draper, a famous interior decorator from America’s “golden age”. We fell in love with her use of clashing colours, oversized florals, bold stripes, and animal prints all in the same space. This inspiration was paired with some of our favorite snapshots of 70’s starlets on tropical vacations to create this collection, “A Private Affair.” While designing, the images were the starting point for the imagining of the stories behind them, infusing a modern take of the past into our designs. This resulted in a rich colour palette contrasted with bold black and white shades, mixed with our custom prints. The Spring 16 collection follows the wild spirit of our influence, offering various fits, colours and prints, allowing you to mix and match effortlessly or boldly clash with a contrasting print for a true Dorothy flare.
