Provocative streetwear label Richardson is turning heads yet again this summer with a new swim collection that says “all eyes on me.”

Brand founder, Andrew Richardson, does not shy away from making a statement — his designs first garnered the attention of the LA’s “cool kids” and have even graced the likes of Rihanna. This collection embraces neutral tones of black and white, but the boldness of each piece lives in the details.

The swimwear range includes striped swim trunks in black/white and black/black with contrast stitching, a one-piece in white, and a micro bikini. The one-piece is designed with thigh-high cutouts on either side, a cherry print, and the iconic Richardson “R” emblem, which also carries over to the micro-bikini. The bikini is graced with the logo on either side of the chest and on the back of the daring G-string bottoms.

The Summer 2022 swim collection drops June 16 on Richardsonshop.com.

In related news, Vilebrequin launched a new art-focused swimwear collaboration for Spring/Summer 2022.
