Kitty and Vibe, the Austin, Texas-based inclusive swimwear brand with a first-to-market sizing metric, has named its first celebrity investors and first class of creative designers.
Comedian Nicole Byer, actress Zoe Colletti and professional tennis player Sloane Stephens will each design an exclusive swimsuit print and style inspired by their respective personalities and personal styles. The swimsuits will be available within the brand’s swimwear lineup. Byer, Colletti and Stephens’ collections will launch for summer 2023. They have each invested an undisclosed amount in the company.
“I was looking for partners that could be evergreen partners, they will be part-owners of Kitty,” said Cameron Armstrong, founder and chief executive officer. She said her entertainment agency, FlyteVu, was key in securing the partnerships.
