At Smart Swimsuits, we're redefining swimwear with intelligent, science-driven innovation that puts your skin safety and everyday comfort first. Our advanced fabric provides built-in SPF 35 protection to shield you from harmful UV rays while you enjoy the sun responsibly — and dries incredibly quickly for seamless transitions from water to land, keeping you fresh and comfortable all day. No compromises on style or sustainability: every piece is crafted from eco-friendly materials with a serious commitment to protecting our oceans.
On February 16, 2026, we took that mission to the global stage at New York Fashion Week — presenting the Ocean Beauty collection during the Flying Solo show. This wasn't just a runway moment; it was a powerful fusion of fashion, technology, and ocean conservation.
Born from Deep-Sea Inspiration & Collaboration
The Ocean Beauty collection came to life through an inspiring partnership with the Ocean Rising program — a joint initiative by Schmidt Ocean Institute and Nekton. Their stunning underwater imagery and scientific research fueled every detail, turning real ocean wonders into wearable art.
Created by visionary designers Julia Grace, Sasha Royce, and Anastasia Novi, the collection captures the sea's living poetry: its fluid rhythms, mysterious depths, and fragile brilliance.
Key Features of the Ocean Beauty Collection
-
Innovative fabric with built-in SPF 35 protection and ultra-quick drying — for responsible sun enjoyment and effortless all-day comfort.
-
Sustainable production using recycled materials to minimize ocean impact
-
Exclusive original prints inspired by deep-sea motifs:
-
Reef Print — vibrant textures echoing coral resilience and ocean movement
-
Deep Ocean Print and Ocean Beauty — moody blues and subtle patterns capturing endless mystery
-
Pearls Print — ethereal, shimmering designs celebrating underwater grace
From sleek one-pieces and two-piece bikinis to luxe cover-ups like flowing beach robes and pants, each piece blends high-performance functionality with artistic storytelling.
A Thrilling Sneak Peek on the Runway
The NYFW presentation brought the ocean to life: models moved like waves, light danced across the tan-through fabrics, and textures shifted with every step — mirroring the sea's natural flow. Presented at Flying Solo NYFW, the collection received glowing reactions for its innovative edge, sustainability, and purpose-driven design.
This was just the first reveal — a sneak peek that showcased a curated selection of our favorite looks and prints.
