Introducing our first wave of swimwear, debuting in a poolside index of singular women and the suits that suit them.
Here we unveil a chromatic club of varying personalities, forms, and fervent opinions. Ready to meet you now are five out of twelve moods. The palette moves like an elementary backstroke – teal to cobalt, rose to vermilion, forest to orchid, white to black. Each color story is rigorously deliberate. Silhouettes are equally considered: scoops, high-necks, bandeaus, and triangles, backs that open into ovals or intersect in soft geometries. Every aspect, down to shape and hue, is meticulously chosen.
Along with this wave of new suits is the Tilly swim hat — a sculpted crown in bright blue or black, cut from rescued deadstock fabric. Drawn close to the head, it sharpens the silhouette and frames the face with graphic precision.
We picture these personalities diving at the Y, lingering in the tiled steam of Viennese bathhouses, imagining they’re playing a role in La Dolce Vita, sailing the Pacific, or suspended in the stillness of a sunlit pool.
The brief is something between the cool detachment of Ed Ruscha’s Nine Swimming Pools and the warm ease of the beachside pool at Hotel Il Pellicano in Porto Ercole. Whether you’re in the tiled topographies and brutalist lines of a Vienna public pool, with Mozart echoing through the speakers, or surrounded by a bright chroma punctuated by palm trees, the mood holds: disciplined and glamorous, cinematic and languid.
Tallulah has always been suspicious of straight lines.
Following family lore and superstition, she gravitates toward intersections – straps that cross, seams that train the course of the eye. She trusts the tension point, the place where two paths converge.
An Art Nouveau gem, this is Vienna's oldest indoor public swimming pool still in existence.
Quinn has every intention of teaching water aerobics at the Y.
Though she says this every year, we have a good feeling this time. She favors a suit that means business: secure straps, a conservative scoop, matching Tonne bottoms, and a color that reads clearly from across the pool. Leadership and staying power, after all, begin with being seen.

Tate studies marine biology but prefers chlorinated water. She claims this is about control.
Her suit allows for movement without commentary – something she can fold herself into while thinking. She maintains that blue is the only honest color, though she rarely argues the point. It’s simply true. She dreams of Jacques Cousteau and imagines she’s a character in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Nelle leans into simplicity the way others lean into conversation.
A classic creamsicle, a towel warmed by the sun. Summer, to her, isn’t complicated. The strings to her suit don't get tied until halfway out the door. She wears the house key around her ankle.
