Meridian Swimwear Swimwear
Sisters Jordan LaGuardia and Terese Ostendorf LaGuardia launched Meridian Swimwear out of Brooklyn in 2022, bringing backgrounds in art direction and luxury womenswear design, including Terese's work at the label LESET, to a category they felt was missing their own point of view. The brand describes its look as relaxed minimalism crossed with retro nostalgia, filtered through the New York City sensibility where both sisters started their fashion careers.
Significant Other Dresses and Swimwear
Significant Other was founded in 2019 in Adelaide, Australia, by Julia Ritorto and Kathryn Forth, both designers who came out of the established Australian label Acler. The brand kept its headquarters in Adelaide even as it built a following well beyond Australia, working from a design philosophy built around ease and confidence rather than a single signature print or silhouette. It's a personal favorite of mine

Johanna Ortiz Dresses and Swimwear
Johanna Ortiz launched her namesake label in Cali, Colombia in 2003, starting with a small resort and swimwear collection before building it into a full ready-to-wear house. The brand still produces more than ninety percent of its pieces in-house in Cali, and its 2014 Moda Operandi debut is what first carried the ruffled, tropical-print silhouette out of Colombia and onto the global stage.
Thierry Colson Dresses
Thierry Colson founded his Paris label in 2005 on hand block prints, embroidery and French-made poplin shirting. Colson died in August 2026, WWD reported, and the romantic cotton dresses and blouses below are the work he is known for.
Karla Colletto Swimwear
Karla Colletto was founded in 1981 by Karla Colletto and her older sister Lisa Rovan, who began with apparel that ran from bridal to sportswear before turning to swimwear. Karla learned couture dressmaker techniques while working for designer Alfred Fiandaca and applies them to swimsuits, an idea she calls aqua couture. This edit gathers floral-appliqué, ruched and ruffled one-pieces, Tess and Rosetta styles, beach cover-ups and bikini tops, ending on a ruffled jersey miniskirt and wide-leg pants.
Melissa Odabash Swimwear
Melissa Odabash launched her swimwear label in 1999 after working as a swimwear model in Italy, and she now bases the brand in London. Vogue called her designs the Ferraris of the bikini world, and she is known for fine Italian fabrics, archive-inspired prints and fittings she runs herself before each launch. This edit gathers Panarea and Rio swimsuits, Bel Air bikini pieces, kaftans, crochet and broderie anglaise dresses, cotton shirts and wrap skirts.

Longer than a normal trip, more swimming, and most of it photographed. Eight maxi dresses, eight swim pieces from $90 and eight pieces of jewelry.
Minimalist Sandals: Flat Sandals, Walkable Heels and Slides
With almost no upper, everything depends on where the straps fall. Eight flat sandals, eight walkable heels and eight slides, from $200.
Motel Margarita Tops & Hats: Vacation Pieces to Know
Motel Margarita makes graphic tees, hats and party goods that smuggle a little vacation into a regular Tuesday. It started as a party idea between friends, and I love any label with that origin story.
Les Vacances D'Irina: Mediterranean Holiday Dresses
Les Vacances D'Irina brings Mediterranean holiday dressing into everyday life through natural fabrics, sailor inspired details, and expressive accessories. Founder Irina Moroșanu built the label around a wicker basket found in a French flea market and a wish to revive the relaxed spirit of Mediterranean summers. This edit moves from the dresses to the separates to the small pieces that carry the holiday reference.
