Just a couple of days following Gigi Hadid’s 27th birthday, Frankies Bikinis announced its next celebrity collaboration on Monday, April 25, teaming up with the supermodel for perhaps the dreamiest collection we’ve seen from the cult-favorite swimwear label yet.

A longtime friend of founder and creative director Francesca Aiello, Hadid and her first-ever swim collection is full of nostalgia. Dubbed “Americana,” the swimwear and loungewear pieces are inspired by the Hadid’s family home and farm in Pennsylvania.

In a series of photos lensed by another one of their childhood best friends Alana O’Herlihy, both Aiello and Hadid can be seen wearing pieces from the upcoming launch with sunshine and greenery as the backdrop. For instance, Hadid is captured in a slew of cottagecore-inspired styles, from baby blue pointelle mini skirts, strappy triangle bikinis, and an adorable yellow crop top and boy shorts set. Hadid has also recently dropped the second installment of her collab, offering keys styles like swimwear and signature silhouettes available in both adult and children’s (Lil Frankies) sizing.

“Gigi is someone that is so special and so inspiring to me,” Aiello said in an official statement. “She is creative, hard-working, kind, and loving, and combining those incredible personality traits with our deep-rooted friendship is what really made this collection not only fun to create together but also to shoot together.”

Added Hadid, “We designed this collection with so much love, and I believe that really shines through in the details within the fabrics, prints, and styles we chose to use. Both Frank and I have very social lives but also are big homebodies, and the collection really embodies that side of us.”
