An extension of her Central Saint Martins graduate collection Sex Wax, Louisa Ballou debuted her eponymous beach and swimwear label in 2019. Born in South Carolina, the young designer finds inspiration in her coastal upbringing, utilizing her line to explore the rich subculture of surfing. The sensuality of water and its relationship to the body finds expression in Ballou’s dynamic collection, with her colorful one-of-a-kind prints making reference to the tropical environment in which she grew up.
