Reinventing Floatimini


092613_floatimini_07A popular children’s swimwear line returns, for girls only.

092613_floatimini_03Five years ago, Erie Chang and Sehee Kim dreamed up Floatimini, a fashionable clothing line focused on swimwear that inspired both girls and boys to have their own dreams. The bright colors, playful prints and unique patterns helped Floatimini to stand out from the rest, expanding from swimwear to a full complement of resort wear that included hoodies, wrap skirts, sun dresses, shorts and t-shirts.

092613_floatimini_04Now, these two Moms, designers, artists –and friends- are staying true to their original signature, re-introducing the brand to focus solely on girls ages six months to eight years.

Floatimini produces sophisticated, high-quality swimwear using the brightest technology: heavier weight, quick-drying fabric, ultraviolet and antibacterial protection and SPF-50.

Their goal is to create “the perfect pool print” -bright colors, up-to-date style, vintage sensibility, cute ruffles, sophisticated details and trims.

092613_floatimini_09In addition to stunning swimwear, these beach-loving designers also plan to feature bright cotton knit dresses in the 2014 collection.

The San Diego, CA-based Froufrou & Company baby swimwear is designed and manufactured by the sister team in Southern California.

One Dynamic Duo. As little girls Selena and Analia were inseparable, and found many outlets for their creative energies; one of their favorite pastimes was playing dress-up in their mother’s most glamorous skirts and scarves.

050113_Froufrou&Company_logoReminiscent of their childhood days, the sisters created Froufrou & Company out of a love of all things sweet in life. Their collective degrees in economics, fashion and graphic design make them one dynamic duo ready to make waves with their design début this summer.
