PAULA MALM
DESIGNER & FOUNDER

”The swimsuit is the most personal of a woman’s garments”

Not only is the swimsuit the single piece of clothing in which a woman reveals herself almost bare in public. It’s also a garment charged with emotions and expectations. The swimsuit brings to life dear memories of childhood and long dreamy days at sea, of sand on sun-kissed skin and the bliss of an endless summer. It also carries the greatest hopes for the perfect holiday.

Yet as every woman knows, the swimsuit also evokes a range of issues concerning the body. For me as a designer, it is the ultimate privilege to create swimwear that honors the strength of a confident woman, empowering her with stylish cuts and quality fabrics to truly make her comfortable”
