It’s time to start cultivating your swimwear wardrobe and beyond colors and patterns, the new focus is swimsuit silhouettes, something the ladies at Monday Swimwear know all about.
Founders Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman are known by many as “swimwear connoisseurs,” and we sat down with Aussie bombshell Natasha to talk body positivity, form-flattering cuts and the travels that inspired it all. With years spent on the coastline — Natasha from Sydney, Australia, and Devin from Maui, Hawaii, “We spent a lot of time on the beach and in the water so the association was just natural. We want to make women feel sexy and confident in our swimwear. We pride ourselves on being inclusive of body types and aim to build a brand with women in mind,” exposed Natasha.
There are high-waist bottoms and high-cut pieces, bra tops and minimal fits, and the swimwear savants are drawn to their travels and the amazing women they met when designing each collection. “We love traveling to Italy, it definitely our top travel destination. Our ‘Terracotta’ this season is inspired by Greece, our ‘Lavender’ by France, and our ‘Amur Leopard’ by Russia. The silhouettes we design are inspired by women, what will flatter them, what the women that we love ask for, and what we love and feel good in ourselves,” mused the swim designer.
With the idea to design a swimsuit that makes you feel like you, the seaside duo advocates body positivity acting as an inspiration to women across the world ensuring their designs will compliment and flatter the female form. To feel confident, beautiful, comfortable, whether in the pool, on the sand or anywhere else under the sun. “We love how strongly our body positivity message comes across because we genuinely do see every woman as beautiful in their own way, and admire inner beauty even more! As cliché as it sounds, we feel the best when we are on the beach wearing Monday Swimwear. Life's too short to obsess over imperfections. After all, everyone has them. Nothing compares to feeling truly at ease and being able to just enjoy your surroundings. We try to practice some form of self-love and care every day.”
“Since Monday Swimwear doesn’t follow trends, but rather iconic classic pieces, it’s definitely swimming and beachwear that you can wear all around the world,” noted the Aussie designer. “At the moment, ‘The Balconette’ style and underwire tops have really taken off. Therefore we are more obsessed with our ‘Clovelly' and ‘Maui’ tops than ever. We are also loving high cut legs and high waisted bottoms,” shared Natasha on their go-to apparel pieces. “Always go for suits that flatter your body, and make you feel comfortable and confident.”
The coveted summer fashion house has now grown into a multi-national brand, launching multiple collections a year, collaborating with amazing talent and catering to more cup sizes and body types. “We’re really excited for our Summer launch,” smiled Natasha, “It’s already been doing so amazing and we can’t wait to show you what else we have in store in this summer. As Monday Swimwear continues to grow, we feel so blessed and excited to be able to share our journey with you all!”
