Meet The Brand: IVY Swimwear
Founded in 2016, IVY Swimwear is a globally recognized, female-led brand designed with women in mind. Inspired by the vibrant colors and textures of the natural world, IVY creates cheeky, fashion-forward bikinis crafted with premium fabrics and flattering cuts designed to enhance every body type.
Their playful, modern designs are a staple for poolside lounging and tropical vacations, empowering women to feel confident and stylish wherever their adventures take them. Beyond aesthetics, the brand is committed to eco-conscious fashion—using recyclable and biodegradable packaging and ensuring zero fabric waste by repurposing leftover materials.
Already a fixture on the global fashion scene, IVY Swimwear has been spotted at New York Swim Week, Wolf & Badger pop-ups, Art Basel Miami, and across countless beauty pageant stages. Now, they are looking for their next major ambassador.
What’s On The Line?
The competition features multiple stages, with incredible perks for the finalists and a career-defining package for the ultimate winner.
The Grand Prize
The grand prize winner will walk away with an unmatched lifestyle and career package, including:
- $25,000 in cash
- A feature in Maxim magazine
- The starring role in an upcoming IVY Swimwear retail brand campaign
- A luxury trip for two to the winner’s choice of either Hawaii or Ibiza
The ‘Top 3’ Finalist Prizes
The competition will be fierce, but making it to the final round comes with its own elite rewards. The judges will select a “Top 3” from the interview rounds to advance to the photoshoot round. These three finalists will receive:
- An IVY Swimwear shopping spree to build their ultimate beach wardrobe
- A luxe trip to Miami, Florida for the in-person photoshoot round
- A professionally edited photo package from the Miami shoot to elevate their modeling portfolio
How The Competition Works
Following a similar format to top-tier international modeling hunts, the IVY Swimwear competition is designed to test charisma, style, and brand fit.
- The Application: Aspiring models will submit their best swimwear photos alongside a written profile highlighting their personality and why they embody the confident, eco-conscious spirit of IVY Swimwear.
- The Interview Round: Standout applicants will advance to an interview phase where judges will get to know the women behind the photos.
- The Miami Shoot (The Top 3): The judges will narrow the field down to just three finalists. These women will be flown to sunny Miami to compete in a live, in-person photoshoot.
- The Crowning: Based on the results of the Miami shoot, one ultimate winner will be chosen to receive the $25,000, the Maxim feature, and the trip to Hawaii or Ibiza.
