What does the collection represent to you? Everything that is missing in the swim market. I tried to address what my friends and I were looking for, because, honestly, the giejo girl is me and all of my girlfriends, too. I thought of spring break and how I would rather die than be caught on the beach in the same suit as another girl. I was also very price-conscious (I’m so sick of having to hit the sales to get designer attire). Girls today don’t wear head-to-toe designer and usually wear a mix of high and low, so why don’t we have that option with our swim? What is the price range? Where will it be sold?
