Each drop includes 30 bikini separates, two maillots and sarongs in sizes XS to XL, with select styles up to 2XL, from $80 to $190 on the brand’s e-commerce.
“I think it’s really important for brands to design for all women, not just certain sizes or shapes or body types. For me, it’s important to align myself with brands that make inclusivity a priority,” Osaka said. “Frankies Bikinis holds high standards for inclusivity, which allows everyone to be able to find products that make them feel confident and empowered. That’s exactly what we aimed to do with this collection.”
