I believe this to be one of the most impactful conversations about body image. When given the opportunity to interview a New York Fashion Designer, you know I jumped at the chance! 

Nic Hyl is the founder and creative director of New York’s emerging and award-winning swimwear, clothing and activewear brand, Nic Hyl Clothing. As a lover of travel, fitness,  fashion and having previously worked in the fashion industry for brands including Norma Kamali and Ralph Lauren, Nic has taken her experience, Jamaican roots, and Florida upbringing to create a brand inspired by her love of quality fashion and a vacation-inspired lifestyle.

“It’s the beauty of fashion that I see on a daily basis on New York City streets coupled with my Florida roots and Jamaican culture, that has inspired me to create a swimwear and lifestyle brand so that fashionable women can translate their personal style to the beach, pool or wherever their lives take them. My goal is to celebrate a wider definition of beauty for every body, everywhere; one uniquely beautiful garment at a time." – Nic Hyl
