“Ocean Beauty”: A Limited Wearable Art Collection Designed by Julia Grace Presented at the Art Institute Wearable Art Show
Naples, Florida — January 24, 2026
At the Art Institute Wearable Art Show held at the Naples Grande Beach Resort, Smart Swimsuits unveiled its newest Limited Edition collection, titled “Ocean Beauty,” transforming swimwear into wearable art with deep conceptual meaning.
Created by the talented designer Julia Grace, the collection bridges fashion, art, and sustainability, presenting swimwear as both functional design and expressive artistic storytelling. The show was part of a philanthropic event supporting the arts and creative education.
Three Original Prints. Three Stories. One Concept.
Exclusively created for this event.
At the heart of the collection are three exclusive, original prints, each telling a distinct story inspired by the ocean and united by a shared artistic vision.
Corals
Inspired by vibrant coral reefs, this print embodies the fragile beauty of marine ecosystems. It reflects balance, vitality, and the urgent responsibility to protect coral reefs — one of the most critical elements in solving major environmental challenges affecting our oceans.
Jellyfish — Deep Ocean
A fluid and ethereal print inspired by the graceful movement of jellyfish in deep ocean waters. It represents freedom, calm strength, and intuitive flow, while highlighting the essential role jellyfish play within the ocean’s delicate ecosystem.
Pearl
The most symbolic print of the collection. The pearl represents time, patience, and transformation — turning imperfection into beauty. It celebrates inner resilience, timeless elegance, and serves as a symbol of all shelf and ocean life interconnected beneath the surface.
Wearable Art with Purpose
Each piece stands as an individual artistic statement while remaining comfortable, functional, and sustainably designed. Together, the three prints create a dialogue between nature, femininity, and conscious fashion.
