The Joya Collection (Resort 2018)
Known as the mecca of understated boho fashion during the 1970s, Peru is the main inspiration for the Joya Collection (means jewel). From its exotic fruits and flowers, Incan ruins, colonial palaces, and indigenous designs, the muted jewel tones and geometric shapes, plus the rich layering of textiles, have been meticulously applied to make this one of Prey Swim’s most sultry collections yet. Featuring custom Peruvian inspired prints, the color palette incorporates pink, red, and blue shimmers, glittering gold, matte black, and smokey gray, along with animal prints that attribute to beautiful South American wild cats.
The Riviera Collection (Pre-Fall 2017)
Prey Swim’s Riviera collection evokes the alluring coastline and glamour of The French Riviera during the 1950s and 1960s, when it was the crown destination for elevated tourism by aristocrats, actors, and Bohemians alike. This collection is dedicated to the modern woman with effortless style and an insatiable desire for inspiration and relaxation, featuring hand-drawn prints, decadent colors, and new custom silhouettes such as The Biarritz deep v one piece, The Grace Top, and Bardot Bottoms – high waisted French cut bottoms with a rear bow.
The Marrakech Collection (Summer 2017)
Prey Swim’s signature styles, which continue to be available through summer 2017, draw inspiration from the colors and textures of 1960s and 1970s Marrakech, The Rolling Stones, and designer Audrina Patridge’s captivation with the influence of this artistic time period, and city. You can see it reflected through the prints and silhouettes created. The line’s signature St.Tropez one-piece continues to be a best-selling style as well as the fringe embellished
