August 2, 2016

Pantyhoe$ is a London-based clothing line by black female entrepreneurs who recently launched their FURKINIS swimwear collection in collaboration with students from Rio de Janeiro’s Spectaculu School. The Spectaculu School is a unique institution that teaches students from economically deprived neighborhoods about developing skills for and working in creative industries—majorly cool. The FURKINI editorial was also shot on location at Rio’s Leblon and Vidigal beaches. Check it out, down below, and shop the Pantyhoe$ collection, here.
