There is a charming story about Véronique de la Cruz, who has been creating and mixing bathing suits ever since she was a child. Growing up on the island of Guadeloupe in the French Caribbean, the bathing suit culture made going to the beach very much like going to a party. No one wanted to be seen in the same suit twice. So she and her cousin saved their money to but new suits and mixed and matched so it would seem as if they had many. Very creative and definitely fashion inspired at a young age. Her island upbringing and love for fashion are what makes her line so charming, yet very sexy.
