It Feels Like Summer

May 10, 2022

Warm sunshine on your lower thigh. It’s a specific, rare feeling, but it’s indicative of a change that has come: it’s finally summer. And you want to be out, not just out anywhere, but out with others, on a beach, and it’s so beautiful.

You want to see other people feeling the same thing you are, and you want them to see how glad you are that you’re here when you could be anywhere else. It’s summer, finally.

For their new line of swimwear, the Swedish design house CDLP has released a new film called “Endless Summer,” evocative of the ecstatic feeling of summer. Filmed preemptively in Cape Town during our winter, spliced with archive footage of beautiful people in summer, CDLP wanted to make sure we felt summer coming before it has even arrived.

The new line of swimwear is made from Econyl, an Italian-source premium nylon fibre regenerated from ocean and landfill waste and feature pastel colors that suggest a vintage feeling. The collection features swim shorts, swim trunks, deck shorts, and swim briefs.

Watch the campaign video, ENDLESS SUMMER, filmed by artistic director Christian Larson in Cape Town, featuring a dreamy combination of spliced vintage and original footage, below.
