I'm Tiina, founder of Main Design – and yes, I've had many summers where I didn't feel right in my own skin...
For a long time, I felt like I was wearing something else in my own body. Too much. Too little. Too soft. Too angular. Too something. Never just right . And to be honest, it annoyed me.
The whole thing about feeling comfortable in a bikini doesn't start with the cut. It starts in your head.
I used to look in the mirror far too often with a critical eye. My skin was too soft here, not toned enough there, not curvy enough there. Always an internal comparison to some ideal.
But at some point I decided:
I'm tired of fighting against my body. I want to celebrate it—with every curve, every bump, every movement in time with the waves.
And that's exactly why our design process at Main Design is so much more than just fashion. I don't design bikinis for perfect bodies—I design bikinis for real women. For women who move, laugh, and live—with everything they are.
Our new Nova swimsuit is a piece of it.
It's for the days when you want to feel free. And for the days when you have to tell yourself:
“I’m good, just like this.”
The idea behind Nova: Why Nova is more than a swimsuit
As a designer, I wanted Nova to convey a feeling – not just a piece of clothing.
It should not only fit well , but also do good .
I worked on a cut that provides support without being constricting.
A back neckline that moves. A cut that embraces curves instead of hiding them.
And a fabric that feels soft without stretching out – even after many jumps into cold water.
Nova is my design statement for real bodies.
Because beauty has no norm – but it does have a feeling: freedom .
If you want to feel more at home in your bikini again, maybe Nova is just the right piece for you. Not perfect. But real. And beautiful.
Written with love,
Tiina – Founder of Main Design & eternal sea lover
