Today Gabi release her latest collections with Swimsuits for all.  The theme of this collection I would call “Queen of the jungle” was inspired by Destiny’s Child’s Survivor and I’m here for it.  There are 4 bikinis, 4 one-pieces, and 2 coverups style dress with bold designs, beautiful colors, and lots of metallics.  This 2018 GabiXSwimSuitsForAll collection is giving me everything I need with this new styles.  Below I have added the visuals for the collection release.  Please note that photos are all from the Gabifresh website.

Gabi has clearly hit it out the park again and this collection will sell out.  My personal thoughts on purchasing based on having shopped past collections.  Size up in the tops.  I noticed in the past two collections the tops ran small.  With that being said I love that the 2 pieces swimwear options are sold together but you can order different sizes for the top and bottom.  The bottoms I find run true to size.  I would say for the one piece swimwear to size up also.  Many have built-in bra features similar to the two-piece tops in which the cups run small.  Lastly, if you’re swimwear shy the coverups are a great option.  They offer a great bang for your buck.  Based on the style purchased I’ve worn them alone as a “dress” or as kimono style top with shorts or jeans.  The coverups tend to run true to size.  Gabi has mentioned before, if you’re between suit sizes, she recommends getting the larger size.

When I first so this tweet it tickled me pink.  I taught at this Gabi isn’t dropping the collection out the blue like Beyonce.  With that said I’ve ordered a few pieces.  And I already have photo shoot ideas.

Gabi’s latest collections with Swimsuitsforall comes off the heels of two other very successful fashion ventures in 2017.  Gabi first jumped feet first into the plus-size lingerie arena.  In collaboration with Playful Promises we saw Gabi designed a plus-size lingerie collection (Get more information on the GabiXPlayfulPromises lingerie line here).  The moment the line drop it easily took over social media.  Next Gabi and her longtime friend Nicolette Mason release Premme.  With Premme they joined forces to create a fashion company that shows clothing should be about expressing your personality and having fun, not feeling limited by society’s current fashion rules.

I Represent Confidence

Liz Black asked Gabi Gregg; Style blogger and swimwear designer,  “How can someone who is struggling with self-confidence break out of that and embrace themselves as they are?”  Gabi responded “It’s important to know that the road to self-confidence doesn’t happen overnight; it’s a journey. My advice would be to follow people who have a similar body type to your own on social media, because representation is more important than we realize. The more often you see confident women with bodies that look like yours, the more you will grow to love your own.”

I agree with Gabi representation matters.  It can be hard to picture yourself doing or wearing something if you’ve never seen someone that looks like you ever doing it before.  It can be hard for plus size girls and young women to find beauty in themselves when they never see it.  Never seeing yourself in a position of confidence can leave a person feeling less than beautiful.

Before someone yells out it’s called self confidence.  Self confidence needs to be supported by others just like any other learned skill.  I was lucky to grow up within a family that always made me feel beautiful.  I’ve always been a fat girl.  However, my mom wasn’t plus size.  The first time I regularly saw a woman who looked like me in my home was on television.  It was Shirley Hemphill’s character Shirley Wilson from What’s Happening!!.  She was  short, brown, and round like me.  She was sassy and garnered respect for everyone around her.  Even though she was the butt of many fat jokes she was beautiful to me.

Now that I’m older, I fully appreciate the importance of being represented.  Within the plus size community you can find all different body types.  However, It can sometimes feel that the hour glass shape is the only shape that’s celebrated.  That’s not my shape and I’m ok with that.  I represent the short girls with a little extra in the middle.  Not everyone is going to comply with .70 waist-to-hip ratio to have  that socially acceptable curvy figure.  Like Gabi said follow a few people that represent you in images and know that if she can rock a style so can you.  You’re beauty isn’t limited to what society tells you what beauty is.

It was early November when Gabifresh first tease her curvy followers with a brief glimpse of one of her looks from her 5th collection with swimsuitsforall while doing the mannequin challenge with the crew.  It was at that time Gabi announced that the collection would be available in January.  Unlike her other collections  there been radio silence until this past Tuesday when is was announced that the collection would be released today.  The theme of this collection is #newyearsameyou

GabiFreshXswimsuitforall has proven itself to be a great collaboration.  Swimsuitsforall believes that fashion shouldn’t have a size limit and plus size swimwear should allows for self expression. They’ve created line of suits that lets women sizes 8 to 34 show off their curves and make chic fashion statements.  Swimsuitsforall feels Gabi’s philosophy about fashion is perfectly in line with theirs.

The GabiFresh swim looks come in different silhouettes and styles.  Bikinis with flattering features like high waists and underwire cups.  GabiFresh swimsuits are one and two piece styles with flirty accents like sheer mesh panels and dramatic plunging necklines. Whether you prefer solids or prints, there’s something for you. If you’re looking for plus size swimwear that is sexy yet still supportive and a perfect fit, the GabiFresh for Swim Sexy collection is ideal for you.
