I was checking out the recent video for one of my fave recording artists, Jidenna and was taken by the gorgeous swimsuits worn on the women featured in the video.

What struck me most was the fact that they were retro-style high-waisted and had beautiful cut-outs making them very mom friendly yet still sexy and chic.

I did a quick Google search and determined that the designs are from the creative mind of Canadian-Nigerian designer Andrea Imayah.

She has been featured in many fashion mags and other press Cosmopolitan UK, Ebony Magazine,Style HQ and other sites.

Her designs have been still also worn by celebrity bloggers Necole from XO Necole and Claire Sulmners of The Fashion Bomb Daily, and Hollywood figures Christina Milian, Adrianne Bailon, and Angela Simmons.

I love that the swimsuits cater to full-figured, petite, hourglass and pear shaped women. The bathing suits are full of color, patterns and prints that are inspired by cultures on the African continent

Resort season is just around the corner and these swimsuits are vibrant and would make you feel like you’re on a secluded beach on an island even when at home.

You can scored some pieces directly from her website or select boutiques in Nigeria, France, Ghana and Canada.
