Have you ever felt less-than-great in a swimsuit that just wasn't suited for you?
Madison Martina knew this feeling well. Growing up in Florida meant swimsuits were a regular staple in her ensembles, even if ill-fitting pieces often hurt her confidence and self-image. That's precisely why she created Kamari Swim, working as a designer to make swimwear built for comfort as well as mobility, flattering every type of body. Their pieces are on-trend and fabulous, as well as functional, which is why we wanted to learn everything there was to know about Madison and her bold sense of style.
