About the brand
Founded in April 2016 by Monti Landers, Riot Swim emerged from a powerful need for representation in the swimwear industry. As a Black woman entrepreneur, Landers recognized that existing brands didn't reflect her shape, skin tone, or story—nor those of the women she knew. With no prior design training, she built Riot Swim as a luxury swimwear brand focused on inclusivity, creating pieces that celebrate every shape, color, size, and backstory. What started as a swimwear brand has evolved into a full lifestyle label offering elevated essentials made for real life. Riot Swim is renowned for its expansive size and fit chart, showcasing all body types in its imagery and campaigns. The brand's flexible technical materials contour to each wearer's shape while providing support and comfort. Beyond swimwear, pieces are designed for versatility—one-pieces double as bodysuits, and bikini tops work as bralettes. Drawing inspiration from '80s and '90s fashion, Riot Swim creates effortless, sculpted pieces with clean lines and soft textures.
