Wake Up
Most Wake Up swimsuits are two-piece ones. Their designers prefer carnelian, beige, blue, and black colors, and try to avoid using patterns. Wake Up’s swimsuits are made of Italian flexible cloths and are notable for their hidden stitching. The swimsuits are produced in muted shades, are two-layered and thus not transparent. The designers say the simple and comfortable cut of their clothes matches their diving concept — freedom of expression.
