A minimalist yet sensual collection captured against the vibrant backdrop of Rio de Janeiro

Ludovic de Saint Sernin is expanding his brand’s swimwear offering for Spring/Summer 2026 with the return of women’s swimwear, reintroducing a category that has long been part of the label’s identity. Following the successful relaunch of its men’s swimwear line, the Paris-based fashion house is once again placing the body at the center of its design narrative through a collection rooted in confidence, sensuality, and self-expression.

The new range introduces three key silhouettes—a Bikini, Trikini, and Bodysuit—crafted in a restrained palette of black, white, and brown. Remaining faithful to the brand’s signature minimalist aesthetic, the pieces emphasize clean lines and body-conscious construction while maintaining the effortless allure that has become synonymous with the label.

To celebrate the launch, the brand traveled to Rio de Janeiro for the latest installment of its destination-focused swimwear campaign series. Photographed by Jorge Perez Ortiz and styled by Pau Avia, the campaign unfolds across some of the city’s most recognizable landscapes, from sunlit beaches and dramatic coastlines to modernist architectural landmarks, including a residence designed by Oscar Niemeyer.

Fronting the campaign is Brazilian model Barbara Valente, joined by an all-Brazilian cast that reflects the spirit and energy of the location. The imagery captures moments of freedom, movement, and intimacy, reinforcing the brand’s view of swimwear as an extension of personal identity rather than simply a seasonal wardrobe essential.

With its blend of understated design and sensual confidence, the collection marks another evolution in Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s growing fashion universe, continuing to blur the lines between swimwear, ready-to-wear, and self-expression.

The Spring/Summer 2026 swimwear collection is available now through the brand’s official website and will continue to roll out throughout the season.
