Kate Spade New York
The Kate Spade swimwear collection is colorful, bold, playful, optimistic, sophisticated, and timeless. It’s classics with a twist, and we were always considerate about paying homage to the brand print codes of classic black and white stripes, graphic dots, and pretty florals.
Oftentimes the ironic 'wink' came from the hardware, for instance, some suits featured gold charms with tongue in cheek sayings like “swan dive or cannonball,” or “dive in.”
Spring/Summer 2020
The SS 2020 Kate Spade season had everything our girl needed for her next big adventure—even the one right in her own backyard.
Green was used as a neutral, and the collection popped with sunset brights and sunrise pastels like citronelle and lemon sorbet. In swimwear, we paired feminine silhouettes with sporty pops, preppy hints, ladylike accents, and/or utilitarian touches.

Shoshanna Collection
Shoshanna Gruss made waves in the swim marketplace with the launch of her swimwear collection in the Spring of 2001. She was the first to pioneer a change in the swimwear industry by selling tops and bottoms as separates with lingerie inspired sizing.
As Design Director from 2011-2014, I evolved the collection by introducing modern silhouettes, prints and colors, always maintaining the distinctive femininity and the focus on incredible fit for all sizes and shapes of women.

Milly Cabana
The Palm Beach Milly lifestyle lent itself perfectly to Swim and Resortwear. Milly Cabana was elegant and glamorous, with signature Milly hardware, fun print and color, and cover-up styling and fabrics not usually associated with swim.
