three young black women create empowering swimwear brand enza

Fashion is not for the weak-spirited or those lacking creative confidence, but the founders of Enza, a new swimwear brand are neither. Silvana Cristóvão, Vanesa Bongo, and Joyce Pinto are Angolan students studying in Portugal and decided to create a swimwear line to empower women of all shapes and sizes to feel confident. The trio says, “For us it is very important to highlight the beauty of the african aesthetic in our colors, our designs, our models and especially our prints, so we can uplift our continent.” Not a bad mission to support, especially if you live in a warmer climate or you’re planning to take a vacation to somewhere sunny! To order from this lovely collection, visit Enza’s Instagram or Facebook for more information!
