This Elsa Hosk–Approved Swimwear Line Is Made From Recycled Fishing Nets

Agnes Fischer has dependably felt at one with the ocean (and it's not just due to her last name). The 29-year-old Swedish swimwear planner spent her youth going by St. Barth's and swimming off of its completely clear coastline with her family. Presently, however, "those same coral reefs are no longer as brilliant," she mourns, refering to the a huge number of huge amounts of surrendered squander that have wreaked destruction on the sea and its environment. It was this unmistakable acknowledgment that drove Fischer, a Parsons graduate who had beforehand worked at Saint Laurent under Hedi Slimane, to explore supportable textures until the point that she at long last arrived upon Econyl in 2017, a 100 percent regenerative nylon fiber made out of surrendered angling nets. 

"These nets are a piece of all the waste that is out in the sea however they're so awful on the grounds that they can remain in the water for a long time and nothing happens except if somebody takes them away," says Fischer. She put a model bathing suit under a magnifying glass amid a trip to her dad's home on the French Caribbean island. "I was interested: Is this quality great? Will it work?" she inquired. The outcomes outperformed every one of her desires. "It influenced me to need to begin a brand," she says—and in this way Fisch was conceived. 

Swimwear configuration has turned out to be a characteristic fit for Fischer, who still recalls her first swimsuit: a turquoise unsettled one-piece that her mom purchased for her in Paris. And keeping in mind that there are straightforward in her 17-piece scope of cross-back maillots, tie-front tops, and Brazilian-cut bottoms, there are a lot of similarly explanation making points of interest, for example, the hand-painted panther print (as of late spotted on models Elsa Hosk and Carlotta Kohl), scrunchie-like shoulder ties, and splendid, poppy shades motivated by Jacques Cousteau's submerged investigation film, The Silent World. "I need to make suits you can swim in and wear as a feature of an outfit to supper," says Fischer, who's been known to combine her Select style (a low-upheld one-piece) with calfskin shorts on evenings out. It's a two-for-one arrangement that echoes her greater picture objectives: "To change the way individuals carry on and how we have an effect on our planet." Here's to making waves this late spring, one feasible bathing suit at once.
