Mahogany Coast Swim, the luxury one-piece swimwear brand founded by designer Bianca Stacey, made its Miami Swim Week debut in June 2024. One of the most prestigious stages in the global swimwear calendar, Miami Swim Week served as the perfect backdrop for a brand that had been quietly building something exceptional: a collection rooted in quality craftsmanship, confident design, and a singular dedication to making women feel extraordinary at the water's edge.

The Miami showing introduced a wider audience to the Mahogany Coast aesthetic; sleek, body-conscious silhouettes with a glamorous edge, constructed from Italian-sourced fabric engineered to perform as beautifully as it looks. Press, buyers, and fashion insiders gathered to see Stacey's vision come to life on the runway, and the reception was everything the brand had worked toward. Mahogany Coast Swim didn't just show at Miami Swim Week, it arrived.

Building on that momentum, the brand went on to make its New York Fashion Week debut in September 2024, before returning to the NYFW runway a second time in February 2025, a remarkable trajectory for an independent, woman-owned label in such a short span of time.

At the core of every Mahogany Coast piece is a refusal to compromise. The brand's fabric is sourced from Italy and rigorously tested for durability and colorfastness, with every suit engineered to be chlorine-resistant, saltwater-resistant, and UV-protective. This is swimwear built to last, holding its shape, structure, and vibrancy through season after season of sun, salt, and sea.

The collection celebrates the one-piece swimsuit as a true fashion statement. High-cut legs, sweetheart necklines, architectural hardware, and carefully placed cut-outs give each style its own distinct personality while sharing the brand's signature confidence-forward aesthetic. Signature styles like the Flirt, the Desire, the Amour, the Love Bomb and the Bae Watch span a palette of rich, deliberate colorways: luminous Swan, deep Midnight, bold Valentine Red, romantic Lilac, soft Blush, and the show-stopping shimmer finishes Luster (black) and Flare (gold). Each color is chosen to celebrate a range of skin tones and to photograph beautifully in any light.

Bianca, who holds a Bachelor of Science from Northwestern University and studied fashion and fabric construction at Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, brings a rigorous academic foundation to a deeply personal creative vision. Her goal from the beginning has been straightforward: to reimagine the one-piece swimsuit as something fashionable, functional, and worthy of every woman who wears it.
