Meet the Founder

While studying fashion at Central Saint Martins, I never imagined I’d one day be designing bikinis for women around the world.

I started sketching designs from a young age, so fashion felt like a natural path. After graduating in 1996, I interned with Paul Smith in London and New York, worked with Boudicca, and later moved into styling for music videos and ads.

Eventually, I shifted into digital design, freelancing on exciting projects across London. But I never let go of my dream—my passion for creating garments was always there, waiting.

From London to Rio to Ibiza

After dancing in Rio’s iconic carnival, I began performing with a Brazilian Samba group in London and creating hand-beaded costumes for myself and friends.

Inspired by Brazilian swimwear and its intricate details, I became passionate about designing swimwear, resort wear, and accessories that empower women—whether on stage, at a festival, or a wedding—with a distinct Ibiza flair.

My focus remains on local production, using upcycled and recycled materials, and supporting a circular, eco-friendly fashion economy.
