Same’s Foray Into Ready-To-Wear

Same is a brand designed by influencer Shea Marie that produces some of the best swimsuits on the market with flattering cut-outs and top-quality fabric choices.

Balmain & Disney’s Celebratory Lion King Collection

In honor of The Lion King’s 30th anniversary and the upcoming film Mufasa: The Lion King, Balmain and Disney have collaborated for the first time on a collection that honors Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing’s African heritage, the design signatures he’s created at Balmain, and beloved The Lion King characters. The capsule incorporates works from three African artists: South African painters Cassius Khumalo and Nika Mtwana, and Cameroonian painter Enfant Précoce. Their powerful imagery has been rendered on heavily embroidered metallic dresses, plus more unisex hoodies, tees, and handbags, available in sizes XXS to 2XL.

KHY’s Debut Swimwear Offering

Her Vacation edit features monochromatic bikinis, one-pieces, and a bevy of beach clothes all made in a forgiving stretch jersey fabric. The strict color palette of orange, red, brown, white, and black makes slotting these pieces into your vacation outfit rotation incredibly easy, and the inclusive sizing (XXS to 4X) and price ($42 to 88) ranges allow for guilt-free shopping for just about everybody.
