The first black female pioneer in architecture, Norma Merrick Sklarek, born in Harlem, New York, worked behind the scenes on some of America’s most prominent architectural projects. She was also the first African-American woman elected as a member of the prestigious American Institute of Architects (AIA). Her notable works include the United States Embassy in Tokyo, Japan and the Terminal One station at the Los Ange- les International Airport. Norma Triangle, Full Cup, and Padded Plunge Bikini Tops worn with mini or full Rio briefs, Padded Triangle Swimsuit and Swimsuit Kaftan in Wild offer a new take on animal print. It plays on colours inspired by the Savannah in a young, spir- ited and unexpected version of the ring. The multi-style Tri- angle Bikini Top can be worn as a halter top with or without padding or you can tie the spaghetti straps at the neck to repo- sition the garment as a bandeau. Born in 1876, Irish architect Eileen Gray descended from an aristocratic family. After several years, she was eventually rec- ognised as one of the greatest architects in history and known for her furniture designs, including art deco and modernism. The Gray Triangle, Strapless Wireless, Padded Triangle, and Full Cup Bikini Tops, worn with mini or full Rio briefs, Boat Neck Swimwear and Long Swimwear Dress, are available in Vital and Ocean made from a highly cool, soft and lightly sat- in-finished ribbed fabric from Italy. Mahony is named after American architect Marion Lucy Ma- hony, born in 1871, who became the second woman to re- ceive a degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). With her husband, Walter Burley Griffin, she helped design Canberra, the capital of Australia, in 1913. The Pad- ded Mini Triangle Bikini, Full Cup and Padded Plunge Bikini Tops, Boat Neck Swimsuit and Long Swimwear Dress in blue print have lurex fabric details on the straps and waist with col- laborative Swarovski embellishments. Another phenomenal 20th-century female architect, Ital- ian-Brazilian Lina Bo Bardi, born in 1914, completed her stud- ies at the School of Architecture at the University of Rome.
