Product Insights

Louis Gabriel Nouchi's Asymetrical Opening Swim Short delivers a leg-lengthening silhouette via a fixed asymmetrical opening, 4.75-inch inseam, and side vents, built from quick-drying nylon and rooted in the designer's novel-inspired, size-inclusive approach (backed by ANDAM Grand Prize and Paris Fashion Week calendar inclusion), but trades off sun protection and built-in support for its minimalist, thigh-exposing design.
