From Vancouver to Victory: How One Shoulder Changed Olympic Swimwear Forever!

Discover the inspiring story of how a local B.C. swimwear brand turned heads at the Olympics with their innovative designs!

When it comes to Olympic sports, beach volleyball has always stood out, not just for the athleticism involved but also for its showcase of unique fashion. Enter Left On Friday, a trailblazing swimwear brand from Vancouver, B.C. Co-founders Shannon Savage and Laura Low Ah Kee have taken the Olympic stage by storm with their groundbreaking designs, featuring the first-ever one-shouldered bikini tops worn by athletes in this summer's games. Who would have thought that fashion innovation could elevate a sport to exciting new heights?

Looking back, Savage and Low didn't embark on this journey with the goal of making Olympic history. Their dream began simply as a desire to create stylish and functional swimwear that empowered women. However, when the opportunity arose to design the beach volleyball uniforms for the Canadian Olympic team, they seized it with both hands—after all, who could resist the chance to infuse a bit of West Coast flair into the Olympic arena?

With their one-shouldered bikini top, these intrepid designers celebrated the unique artistry of the female form while still ensuring maximum comfort and performance for the athletes. The innovative design garnered attention not just for its fresh aesthetic, but also for the bold statement it made about women in sports—challenging the norms while proudly embracing individuality. Athletes on the court felt more confident and empowered, a win-win situation!

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive; fans and competitors alike are buzzing about the stylish yet functional designs. The duo’s approach demonstrates that creativity can flourish even in traditional realms like sports attire. As they continue to expand their brand and inspire others, Savage and Low are on a mission to redefine athletic fashion.

Did you know that Left On Friday was founded on the belief that swimwear should flatter every body type? They conduct extensive fit tests, ensuring that their designs can withstand rigorous activity while looking fabulous. Also, their innovative one-shouldered bikini top isn’t just pretty; it also took months of testing with professional athletes to perfect the balance of style and functionality—proof that every thread counts in the pursuit of excellence!
