Seeing as the UK is still freezing and we’re banned from boarding planes to the hot beaches in our dreams, we’re launching Costa Del Nowhere with some of our friends around the world to show you our new swimwear and warm weather wear for 2021.
We asked 6 creatives in the UK, US and Canada to show us what they’ve been up to at home. Find out about them below with some quick fire questions.
MEET THE GANG
NIMMO
First up meet NIMMO, the East London dance-pop duo made up of Reva Gauntlett and Sarah Nimmo who like to wear our swimwear in the bath while they eat sushi and that is absolutely fine by us!
1. What’s on your heavy rotation ATM?
Joan Armatrading!
2. Favourite pub?
The Glory
3. Best thing about summer in London?
Streetside cocktails. MUSIC OUTDOORS.
4. Who’s better at cards?
Reva, 1 hunny percent.
5. Where can we come and see you this year IRL?
We will mainly be DJing a lot for the rest of the year, saving our new live show for the release of new music.
First up, you can catch us at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington for the Disco Halal party in July!
@nimmonimmo
Sarah wears Squish Face Shirt (size L), Shorts (size M) and Big Love Swim Shorts (size M). Reva wears Squish Face Bikini set (size 8) and Big Love Bikini set (size 8).
Charlie Max
Charlie Max is a multi-disciplinary artist, plant based chef and planet lover. We fell in love with the way she expresses herself so freely and encourages those around her to do the same. She is our hot girl summer advocate and seeing as she’s based in the west coast, got to wear her look in the actual sunshine
1. Favourite time-wasting activity?
I love cooking for others. Whether I'm preparing home cooked food for friends or sharing a plant-based recipe on Fude, I never get tired of helping people nurture themselves.
2. What are your summer plans?
I can't wait to harvest the garden I just planted (now is the time to plant your at-home gardens)! I'm looking forward to serving the vegetables I grow at summer dinner parties.
3. Tell us what 3 things you’re packing for you next holiday?
Spices, youth to the people facewash & little-to-no clothing.
4. Poolside or beach?
Beach! The beach is healing. Ocean water is rich in minerals that have many health benefits, including being good for your skin. Besides the ocean's healing properties, there's nothing more refreshing than swimming in the cold water and jumping in the waves.
5. A piece of self love advice?
Remind yourself you’re beautiful as soon as you wake up. Starting your morning with a dose of self-love sets you up for success and groundedness for the rest of the day.
@charlieannmax
Charlie wears Limey Leopard bikini set (size 14), Field Of Daisies bikini set (size 14) and Kick it in the Bud Bikini (size 12).
Whak & Mo
Whak & Mo are twin brothers based in Canada. Basically we found them on instagram and loved their style and content and knew they’d look great in this collection, looks like we were right..
1. How would you describe your style?
I would say our style is a mixture of streetwear and high fashion! A hoodie fit today and a full blown suit tomorrow. Tbh anything that’s is comfortable and FLY
2. Most played summer album?
Most played summer album is probably this album by Odunsi The Engine “Everything You Heard Is True” and Paulo Leon “Partly Stabilized Partly Curious”.
3. What places are on you your holiday hit list?
Montreal here in Canada was one of the places i really wanted to go in the summer and We had the chance to be there earlier this year, I’ll say London, England & New York.
4. Do you share everything or keep things seperate?
We share almost everything. Especially the clothes. There’s one closet and anyone can wear whatever they want from there lol.
5. Tell us one thing we should know about you?
Candy is my kryptonite :)
