About the brand

Melissa Odabash launched her eponymous luxury swimwear brand in 1999 while working as a model in Italy, inspired by her desire to create swimwear that she herself would want to wear. The American designer quickly gained international recognition when her pieces featured on supermodels Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell, and Victoria's Secret stocked her designs. British Vogue famously dubbed the brand "the Ferraris of the bikini world." The brand is credited with re-introducing high fashion into the swimwear world, offering collections that epitomize glamour and sophistication. Using the finest Italian fabrics and ethically sourced materials, each piece is designed to flatter all body types through multiple fittings personally conducted by Melissa. Now distributed across over 50 countries and 500+ luxury retailers, the brand has become a favorite among A-list celebrities including Beyoncé, Kate Moss, and the Princess of Wales.

I spent years on shoots wearing swimsuits that just didn't feel right. That experience opened my eyes to a real opportunity in the market to create something that was missing: a company that focused on swimwear that was both innovative and beautifully made.

Hollywood glamour: plunge swimsuits, waist-accentuating cuts, and luxe fabrics.

Generally, Melissa Odabash runs small—especially compared to standard UK or US sizing. Many pieces are cut close to the body, with minimal stretch and a European-style fit.

Cover-up was perfect, but I needed a bigger size for my shoulders—glad I checked first.

The bikini top was beautiful, but the back strap was so tight—I had to size up twice.

Loved the cut of the one-piece, but it was short on the body. Tellar's tool saved me on the re-order.
