When summer hits and the beach is calling, forget packing those plain swim styles you’ve held onto since last summer and opt for something deliciously cute! Using sugar as a sweet inspiration, founder and designer Vy Nguyen of Lolli has been creating her flirty and fun swimwear line for years and now has a collection for toddlers and babies complete with her signature bows! Taking into consideration women’s swimsuit woes, she designs a variety of choices fit for multiple body types and even breaks it down for our readers in her interview below. Easily mixed and matched, we could go on forever about all the things we love when it comes to Lolli, so we decided to catch up with Nguyen herself for a quick peek into swimwear’s most yummy collection for 2015.
Audrey Magazine: During the beginning of your fashion education and career, what made you gravitate towards producing a swimwear line?
Vy Nguyen: Growing up in California, I’ve always had a love for swim. You can always use bright fun colors and there really aren’t any rules.
AM: What were your mood board inspirations for your designs this summer?
VN: Mostly ice cream and boardwalk rides. I LOVE sweets!
AM: We loved the babykinis lookbook. When did you decide to design a line for little ones?
VN: THANK YOU!!! It was SO much fun! I have SO many girlfriends with littles and a lot of nieces too. I think I’ve been making them for a few years now…I really don’t remember when I started.
AM: What swim styles would your recommend for petite, tall or curvier body types?
VN: Petite girls look SUPER cute in smaller swimmies like our bow bottoms, the smaller the better! For tall girlies, high waisted bottoms look very nice and break up the body a bit. Lolli has tons of high waist bottoms. For curvier girls, I would recommend cut out one pieces like our Palms Swimmie and a good underwire top like our Double Scoop!
AM: Any sneak peeks into Lolli’s plans for 2016?
VN: I think we’re gonna take a trip down memory lane!
