I have recently teamed up with Icelantic Skis - a Colorado based ski company creating beautiful and bombproof American-made skis, clothing, swag and now swimsuits. Being in the ski industry now for 10+ years, I have always oohed and awwwwwed seeing their skis around resorts; the top sheets are all created incredibly by American artist Travis Parr and they are in a league of their own. You can spot Icelantic artwork without seeing their logo.
They contacted me to use the prints of my paintings on their swimwear line and then photograph it all in Iceland and around the Rocky Mountains. We worked together all winter, sourced Eco-Friendly fabrics at LA Fabric Week and thanks to their hard working design team, launched the line June 2018, and then the most recent line June 2019. I was shocked to see my swimwear worn by skiers across the nation. It feels absolutely surreal.
Owner Ben Anderson and CEO Anna Loevlie have poured their heart and souls into this company amidst a vast team now worldwide and it shows. I will never be able to put into words how incredible this team is; they have truly become family. They utilize American seamstresses, welders, artists, athletes, designers, craftsmen/women and are doing it right in an industry that can be so huge. Below is from Sea to Sky, the 2018 Icelantic Swimwear line.
