Fashion - Phylyda Swimwear SUITING FOR ALL

Phylyda (pronounced phil-le-da), a line of swimwear and après-swim loungewear by Lydia Maurer specializing in suiting for all—emphasis on all.

A collection that offers a pleasing array of beautifully printed and boldly colored swimwear ranging from sizes 4 to 18, and up to a 42F cup.

Phylyda aims to redefine fashion-forward swimwear for all, crafting the perfect-fitting separates that are made to mix and match and celebrate the nuances and diversity of the female figure. Pairing aesthetically-driven designs with fit-focused techniques and technology, each item in Phylyda’s collection is customizable and current. A pleasure-seeker first and foremost, the Phylyda woman knows she’s beautiful because she knows herself and reaches for swimwear that lets her truly dive into life.

The German-born 33-year-old designer, who studied at Studio Berçot in Paris and has brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, and Paco Rabanne on her résumé, is back in her hometown, Berlin, and fearlessly taking the plunge into swimwear. “For the first year, it was all about funneling the great inspiration and knowledge I had gained throughout my career,” says Maurer. “Essentially, I think as a designer, it is my job to make pieces that work with the natural shape of different bodies and to bring out the best of what’s there!”
