A New York Swim Label Gives Old Cloth a Second Season in the Sun

Veronika Vilim makes swimwear in New York from material that has already lived one life, turning reclaimed textiles into suits cut with a sculptor's eye. The house has built its name on shape, on lines that hold their form rather than simply follow the body. Standing poolside, a reader would notice the structure first; that the cloth came from somewhere else before is the quieter half of the story. It is a fitting thing to make in a city that treats the swimsuit as a piece of design rather than an afterthought.
