Rip Curl, the ultimate surfing company, is excited to announce the launch of its collaboration with Los Angeles-based artist Erin Miller Wray for the new Spring 2023 line. The collection merges art and athletics, reflecting Erin’s mission to bring beauty to the lives of athletes and everyone who loves the water.
With a knack for design, an eye for color and a passion for textures, Erin is a renowned contemporary artist whose work has graced everything from the sides of buildings to surfboards.
The new Erin Miller Wray Collection includes a range of bold and bright swimwear, including bikinis, surf suits, boardshorts and more, all designed to bring good energy and positive vibes to the beaches and lineups around the world.
“It’s such an honor to be able to create for such an iconic brand and work with the Rip Curl team,” says Erin. “The crossover of design and athletics feels very special. As an athlete, sometimes what you’re wearing can elevate your energy and performance.”
Incorporating movement and energy into the designs, Erin is excited about the range and variety of the collection.
“The way I look at it, we are all artists,” Erin says. “We’re all creating something in our lives, whether it be a traditional art form or craft or an athlete who’s enhancing their performance. We’re building relationships. We’re crafting careers. We’re craft crafting families. At the end of the day, we’re all artists.”
The Erin Miller Wray collection is now available at all Rip Curl stores and on RipCurl.com.
