Zhilyova Debuts “First Resort” Swim Line: Sculptural Swimwear Meets Sustainable Luxury

ZHILYOVA debuts "First Resort" swimwear: sustainable, sculptural designs made from ocean waste. Ukrainian brand empowering bodies since 2014.

Ukrainian lingerie designer Zhilyova has made a stylish splash with the launch of First Resort, her first-ever swimwear collection. The line remains true to the brand’s ethos—combining structured elegance with “deliberate sensuality,” now tailored for the water.

Drawing from architectural inspiration, the pieces feature clean lines, seamless detailing, and sculptural shapes sculpted to enhance and hug the body. With silhouettes spanning one-pieces, string bikinis, and asymmetric cuts, each style moves gracefully with the wearer. The collection is available in matte black, Mineral Bronze, and Soft Blush, and each style carries a name reflecting an “internal state,” including Ember, Icon, and Emery.

Committed to both quality and sustainability, all swimwear is crafted in Ukraine using ECONYL—an eco-tech regenerated nylon made from ocean and industrial waste. As founder and creative director Valeria Zhilyova puts it, “First Resort is about choice. It’s not escape—it’s arrival.”
