GILI'S
Together, the couple approached a Portuguese factory, just outside of Porto, where they could create their swimsuits. Azulejos become their signature design; the iconic Portuguese cement tiles that infuse their pieces with unique and colourful finishes. This young and over-achieving brand only has two models, also named after Pacific islands. The Trawagan is distinguished by its elasticated waist, while the Air has a flat buttoned belt. Both are made in Europe, cut from chlorine- and sun-resistant fabrics.
While an expansion to women's fashion isn't for the near future, the designers have already extended their concept to a children's range. It is now possible for girls and boys to swim in Meno, Java or Octavie swimsuits (the third being a nod to their daughter's name), or to play on the beach in an anti-UV top, while still sporting the vivid azujelos colours that are tremendously loved by the brand.
