NAIA Beach Wins Drapers Award and Scores Three New Nominations in 2025
We’re beyond proud to share that NAIA Beach was named Best New Brand of the Year 2024 at the prestigious Drapers Online Awards. This recognition celebrated our bold entrance into the luxury swimwear scene, our commitment to quality, and our distinctive take on contemporary beachwear. It was an incredible milestone that reflected the passion and creativity poured into every piece we create.
Now, just one year later, we’re honoured to announce that NAIA Beach has been nominated for three major Drapers Awards in 2025: Womenswear Brand of the Year, Best Use of Social Media, and Best Marketing Campaign for our immersive and creative concept, "A Weekend at NAIA Manor." These nominations truly mean the world to us, as two lifelong friends, building this brand together from the ground up has been a labour of love. From day one, Tess and Gayle have been hands-on in every detail, from design to campaigns, so to be recognised, is incredibly humbling for them.
NAIA Beach was built with a clear vision: to create beautiful, confidence-boosting swim and resort wear designed by women for women. Every piece is thoughtfully and passionately crafted, to flatter and empower. To see that mission resonate, and to be acknowledged for it on such a respected stage is a huge honour.
Thank you for being part of the NAIA journey. Here’s to more milestones, together.
"Being Nominated, especially for Womenswear Brand of the Year, is more than an honour. It's a powerful moment for us and we couldn't have done it without you, so THANK YOU to our amazing NAIA community for making this possible, we're just getting started....." Tess & Gayle - Co-founders.
