Tammy Rivera and T-Rivera Swimwear Line

 

Tammy Rivera expanded her T-Rivera swimsuit line with TPLUS, a plus size swimsuit line ranging from sizes 12 – 28! Rivera said herself that when she conjured up the idea to expand her line, she wanted it to look “exactly like the standard line.” She noticed too much of the drab plus size swimwear lines adding humble skorts to cover-up or only featuring black/white options. To her, it wasn’t “sexy enough.” She wanted a plus size line that was just as sexy as the standard line, so she decided to create a line by not changing the piece itself, but adjusting the cut of the piece so that it was comfortable and flattering.

Latto & Icon Swim

 

Inspired by Latto's ferocity, the Core Collection features eye-catching swimwear in various styles including bikinis, shorts, monokinis and gowns. “If I could describe this line with one word it would be ‘Authentic’.  Throughout this whole process, it was very important that I stayed true to myself, Nobody knows sexy like me.” Icon Swim is best known for working with artists who the world believes to be undeniable the most authentic icons of their time. Latto's music and personality makes her an equally unique artist to create a capsule swim line. The Core Collection features colors ranging from earthy and aquatic to fiery and rocky with design features that include keyhole cutouts, laces, high-waisted thongs and open backs/shoulders.  The swimsuits will also be made from textured and ribbed fabrics.
