Supermodel Joan Smalls has launched her first collection of swimwear and intimate apparel with celebrated lingerie and swimwear company ‘Smart&Sexy’.
Inspired by her tenure on the runway and her personal style; the pieces are a combination of sporty and elegant, comfortable and chic, bold and simplistic.
“From concept to creation, my goal was to create beautiful pieces, with a variety of sizes, all at affordable prices,” said Smalls on the association.
Swimwear collection includes crop and triangle bikini tops, cheeky and French cut bikini bottoms, one-piece swimsuits and fishnet cover-ups in an array of neon and neutral colors.
Available in all sizes from S-XXL, the prices of the products start from $24.
Ariela Esquenazi founded Ariela & Associates in 1997 as an intimates manufacturer before launching Smart&Sexy in 2007.
Ariela & Associates is Walmart’s largest bra supplier and one of their largest women-owned suppliers. Smalls & Esquenazi first worked together for the launch of the Smart&Sexy Swim Secret Collection in 2017.
“Joan has such a great eye for design and such eclectic taste. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this collection,” said Esquenazi.
Smart & Sexy is the in-house brand for Ariela & Associates International which was founded over 20 years ago.
The collection is available online on smartandsexy.com as well as in select Walmart stores. The intimates’ collection is set to launch in July 2018.
