Today I’m speaking with Soozie Heo, designer of the label Mai Mia. Mai Mia focuses on swimwear that can also be incorporated into your everyday wardrobe as layering pieces. I am so excited to pick Soozie’s brain as she has such an incredible background in the fashion industry. A Parsons alum, Soozie got her start working for Helmut Lang and Prabal Gurung in NYC. She then moved to LA and started designing for mega brands like NastyGal and Revolve. Other successes include designing all of the tour merch for the Chainsmokers - pretty cool :)

Mai Mia uses sustainable fabrics from consumer waste like fishing nets, industrial plastic waste and fabric scraps. Not only that, all pieces have SPF 50+ UV protection!
