Taking the Plunge with Freya

Each season, there are three non-negotiables I have when designing a wave. 

1: The colour palette must be unique to the wave to avoid overproduction and maintain exclusivity for you lovely dippers

2: The shoot location must reflect all of the variables people have when choosing a dipping spot

3: The model must be passionate about getting outdoors and have a love for wild swimming, in all its guises

It's safe to say, Freya is action woman, personified. Having grown up in the beautiful Cornish countryside, wild swimming options were in abundance. When she's not cycling around the Pyrenees, you'll likely find her skiing, kayaking or making her own bivvy trousers from sleeping bags! Last year, she biked an incredible 400km from Sheffield to Glasgow to raise money for Sheffield's Children's Hospital.

But that's not even scratching the surface... Let's find out more about our Summer '24 model and all-round super hero, Freya.
