Surf Wetsuits Arrive in Japan for the First Time!

Fashionable Designs That Don't Compromise on Functionality
Designer Cynthia Rowley owns a summer house in Montauk, NY, and is a dedicated surfer who spends her weekends riding the waves. Her close friend, contemporary artist Richard Phillips, gifted one of Cynthia Rowley's wetsuits to Lindsay Lohan. Lohan's portrait wearing the suit became a work of art, and Gwyneth Paltrow also acquired one, making the wetsuits a talking point among trend-conscious celebrities.
Born from Cynthia Rowley herself, a surfer, these items are characterized by feminine color palettes and sophisticated designs, offering a level of fashionability that dramatically redefines the image of wetsuits. The silhouettes are designed to fit the body and allow for ease of movement, thanks to patterns developed with the female form in mind. It's wonderful that they offer not only design but also the essential functionality required of a wetsuit. SATURDAYS SURF NYC will carry three types, and United Arrows will offer two. Be sure to check them out, as some designs are exclusive to each store.
