Reina Olga Partners With Behati Prinsloo for Exclusive Swim Collaboration

Founded by Guia Cleps and her sister Isotta, the Italian swimwear brand Reina Olga has been consistently delivering the hottest summer essentials since 2014. On May 25, Reina Olga teams up with supermodel Behati Prinsloo for the drop of its newest capsule collection in support of a good cause — Save The Rhino Namibia.

The new collection Reina Olga x Behati Prinsloo, modeled by no other than the Victoria’s Secret Angel herself, consists of sexy bikini sets and one piece designs that closely follow the brand’s cool-girl meets playful glamor aesthetics, and the entire proceeds will be donated to Save The Rhino Namibia (STR) — the charity which Prinsloo has been working with since 2019.

The collaboration marks both Prinsloo’s and the female-owned and founded label’s first collaborations. The collaboration was originally conceived in 2019, with plans to launch in 2020; due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the launch was pushed back to 2021.

The Behati x Reina Olga capsule, which was designed with discussions over WhatsApp for creative and mood board, includes six styles — three bikinis with tie bottoms, two maillots and one cover-up skirt. The styles incorporate signature playful-yet-sexy elements (such as criss-cross, tie and cutout details), bright colors, and animal prints, which the brand has become known for; new giraffe and vivid botanical prints can be seen throughout the Behati x Reina Olga capsule. The swimwear, made of 87 percent nylon and 13 percent elastane, comes in the brand’s 1, 2 and 3 sizing and will be exclusively sold on Reina Olga e-commerce.
