Brand Overview & History
Robin Piccone is a trailblazer in swimwear design. She first revolutionized swimwear in 1986 by introducing neon neoprene suits for Body Glove, transforming this surfer staple into high-fashion pieces. Her edgy, body-conscious neoprene styles earned her the nickname “Queen of Neoprene” and even secured a place in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute archive .
In 1992, Piccone launched her eponymous label—Robin Piccone—to address a gap in stylish, well-fitting swimwear . Since then, she has developed a renowned design aesthetic: modern silhouettes, innovative details, and flattering cuts that highlight a woman’s natural curves without leaning too heavily on briefness
