Sea Art

Transforming ocean waste into wearable art, HartiSWIM is making its boldest statement yet having recently showcased its bold curated lineup at the world’s premier swim & resort wear event during Miami Swim Week: The Shows. The new collection from the British Isles brand, "Barbados After Dark," centers on a trio of hand-painted pop-art canvases by artist Sascha Hartmann: "Sandy Lane," "Carlisle Bay," and "Saint James,” each inspired by the island's coastline and translated directly into swimwear prints. Every suit is constructed from Repreve, a performance fibre made from 100% recycled ocean plastic, reclaiming approximately 13.1 bottles per piece. The signature silhouettes are comprised of sleek one-pieces, audacious bikinis and organic silk kaftans that act like a gallery wall in motion. The brand partners with 1% For The Planet, directing a portion of annual sales toward environmental initiatives. Style and conscience, it turns out, look very good together; HartiSWIM.com
