Thank you so much to Kayla Evans-Curtis for your amazing piece on sustainable swim designers in Brooklyn Magazine! As a Bushwick-based designer, I am so so so honored to be featured in BKMAG. It's not too late to cop a hand-knit & hand-embroidered bikini to close out the end of summer ;)

"Gui is influenced by the paintings her grandparents used to ink, which inform intricately beaded or hand-embroidered bikinis. Her process is unique in that transparency comes first: 'I mostly source from female farmers in the Tri-State area and it’s so amazing to be able to be very transparent about where these pieces come from,' she says.

'Honestly, I just always enjoyed the aesthetics better of something that’s more natural-looking. It feels way more timeless and it feels super personal knowing that each piece is a community effort. I really love community building and bringing people together.'"
