Summary:

I am packing my bags for a trip to Costa Rica and realize that all of my

bikinis… well, they just don’t look good on me. So I do what any thirty

something would do, I go to online to begin my search for the perfect

bikini. There is no doubt that there are a lot of companies out there so

I began plucking through the list. In my search I came across an

interesting company that was founded by a Brazilian woman who was going

to college in the States and was frustrated by the bikini she was seeing.

I am packing my bags for a trip to Costa Rica and realize that all of my

bikinis… well, they just don’t look good on me. So I do what any thirty

something would do, I go to online to begin my search for the perfect

bikini. There is no doubt that there are a lot of companies out there so

I began plucking through the list. In my search I came across an

interesting company that was founded by a Brazilian woman who was going

to college in the States and was frustrated by the bikini she was seeing.

So she did what any frustrated woman would do- she started her own bikini

company and is now in charge of one of the fastest growing micro and

Brazilian bikini companies on the internet. I recently sat down with

Ana, the founder of Look Swimwear, in a coffee shop in Miami Beach to

find out more about her, Look Swimwear and the search for the perfect

bikini…



Thank you Ana for agreeing to take some time out of your busy schedule-

can I ask you to tell us more about why you started Look Swimwear in the

first place?



Ana: “[laughs] Yeah, I was I guess not unlike most woman in that I was

always frustrated when it came time to go on a trip or head to the beach-

I would get into this “bikini panic” because it was impossible to find a

bikini that not everyone had, was cute, sexy- really the perfect bikini.

I was not used to this feeling at all, I grew up in Brazil and down there

the beach and bikinis are really part of the culture. Brazilians love to

show off and spend time with their friends and family on the beach. So

long story short, I was always around the environment and definitely

interested in swimwear fashion and bikinis so this frustration got the

best of me- I started Look Swimwear.”



I have heard you often reference the “perfect bikini”- can you tell me

more about what you mean by that?

Ana:” Well the perfect bikini is really one that has everything that all

of us women look for. It has to be well made with high quality Lycras,

fashionable, unique enough so that every lady on the beach is not wearing

it and most importantly has to reflect who you are. Bikinis and fashion

go hand in hand and are really an extension of our personalities so the

perfect bikini pulls in all of these components into a small package...

[laughter]”



Small for sure... For our readers who aren’t familiar with your bikini

lines how do you describe them?



Ana:” I think the best way to describe them is that all of our bikinis

are small, sexy, stylish and fun. We market ourselves as a purveyor of

micro and Brazilian bikinis and that is in my mind exactly what we are.

Anyone can sell bikinis but Look Swimwear is a purveyor because we take

so much pride in our design, workmanship, materials we use and service-

and we do not take this commitment lightly either. I am always talking

to our customers to make sure that we are exceeding their expectations

from beginning to end. I think that is one of the things that make us so

successful. Consumers these days are very demanding and high

expectations. But, they also are loyal to the companies that they trust

and serve them well so I guess our huge growth is a vote from our

customer base really.”



Look Swimwear is now one of the fastest growing micro bikini companies,

what plans do you have for the coming season?



Ana:” Lycras, prints and cuts are always changing is all I will say. I

cannot tell you what we are going to do but I will say that you will love

our new ideas and that we will not loose focus on who we are- a damn good

sexy bikini company. My direct staff and our employees are some of the

most talented and creative people I have ever known- they are really the

backbone to what Look is all about. So when you work with talented and

creative people then only good things will come of it so that means more

sexy bikinis for all of you ladies to wear and for the guys to enjoy.”



How do men come into Look Swimwear equation?



Ana:” Well they are really the reason why we all want to wear sexy little

bikinis and show off. There is nothing better for a woman’s confidence

than her knowing that “she still has it”. Don’t get me wrong, a

confident woman does not need someone else’s approval to have a strong

sense of self but showing off , having fun and getting attention is such

a rush and is good for all ages... [laughs]”



What would you say to some of the women out there who maybe have never

worn a micro or Brazilian bikini before?



Ana:” They should try it out for sure and get away from those boring

suits that cover up everything. I go to beaches all over the world and

am still amazed at how some people can say that what they are wearing is

a bikini. I can tell you that wearing a smaller bikini is a lot of fun

but definitely not made for the family reunion. We have so many women

and couples buy from us when they head out for couples vacation or even

for the boat, pool or where ever. It’s a huge confidence booster to

catch the guys looking out the corner of their eyes at you and plus they

are really comfortable. Its funny, ten years ago thong underwear was

just catching on with the masses and now look around, everyone is wearing

them. I am not saying that micro and Brazilian bikinis are going to take

over the traditional and conservative bikini but the market is growing

like crazy and women all over the world are catching on. I guess it

really comes down to if the woman has a little devilish side of her that

likes to show off or break the rules. If she does then I would say go

for it and try it out- we have not heard any complaints yet.”



Well thank you Ana for sitting down with me and telling us a little more

about your company. So many of my friends have asked me to do a piece on

your company and I am really happy that I could meet you.



Ana:” My pleasure Jessica I enjoyed it”.
