Araks x Courtney Trop
Summer 2021 Swim Capsule
The summer campaign documents a weekend spent in Joshua Tree National Park. Sasha Frolova, close friend of Courtney Trop and a friend of the brand, captured our summer swim capsule, designed with Courtney, against the rugged and stark beauty of the Southern California desert landscape.

The Daphne Bikini Top and Dade Bikini Bottom in Black
“I had a bikini book that sat on top of my coffee table at my office and I always said I was going to use this book as inspiration one day for a little capsule. That’s where the anchor came from. The anchor on one of the swim suits caught my eye and I grew up boating with my father on the river (not glam at all), in Pittsburgh, PA.

This collection is nostalgic to me. Most of these suits came from inspiration during my childhood. The square looms I made in the 90’s very closely resemble the straps to the multi colored suits that Araks and I designed.

I wanted to design some pieces that felt wearable while actually swimming in the water, diving from cliffs this summer in Italy, or doing any kind of water activities. These are suits you’ll actually want to get wet in!
