Our Story

APRIL MINT / Los Angeles 2017

The art of sculpting swimwear.

Born from corsetry. Designed for the body in motion.

The APRIL MINT Point of View

A swimsuit should frame the body, support its movement and let a woman feel entirely herself.

We design beyond the idea that swimwear has only one job. Every line, seam and proportion is considered to create beauty on the body and confidence in the moment.

From Corsetry to Coast

A different point of view on swimwear.

APRIL MINT is a Los Angeles designer label founded in 2017 by corset designer Harper Yang. Her understanding of couture shaping and the architecture of the female form gave the brand its starting point: swimwear can be beautiful, supportive and effortless at once.

Drawing on generations of shapewear knowledge, APRIL MINT brings contour-focused construction into contemporary swimwear, lingerie and activewear. High-stretch fabrics, carefully placed seams and considered coverage work together to enhance the body's natural line without restricting movement.

The result balances California ease with modern femininity and cinematic resort glamour. It is made for the pool, the coast and every place the journey leads.

Our Design Language

Naked.
Supported.
Shaped.

Three principles guide every APRIL MINT silhouette, from sculpting one-pieces to intimate layers and active essentials.

01

Naked

Soft, high-stretch fabrics create a close, second-skin sensation that moves naturally with the body.

02

Supported

Considered construction and secure coverage help every silhouette feel composed, comfortable and confident.

03

Shaped

Contour-focused seams and proportions define the waist, smooth the line and celebrate natural curves.

The Pursuit of the Perfect Fit

Fit is where design becomes personal.

Each style is refined through repeated fittings. Support, coverage, proportion and movement are evaluated together before a design enters production. The goal is not one ideal body. It is a considered silhouette that lets different women feel beautifully held.

01 Proportion Lines and coverage designed to create visual balance.
02 Support Construction placed where the body benefits from it most.
03 Movement Stretch and recovery considered in every fitting.
04 Finish Every detail reviewed for comfort, durability and polish.

The Hands Behind the Silhouette

Crafted by many hands. Guided by one point of view.

Every APRIL MINT piece begins as a conversation between design, pattern, fabric and the moving body. Our team studies where a line should sit, where support should begin and how a silhouette should feel from the first fitting to the final finish.

This quiet, exacting process brings corsetry knowledge into a lighter modern language: precise without feeling rigid, sensual without sacrificing comfort.

01

Design

Each concept begins with proportion, movement and the emotional character of the piece.

02

Pattern

Architectural lines translate the idea into structure around the female form.

03

Fitting

Support, coverage and freedom of movement are refined together on the body.

04

Finish

Construction and detail are reviewed for comfort, durability and a polished final line.

The APRIL MINT World

One philosophy.
Three expressions.

Swim, Intimates and Active are shaped by the same exacting point of view: precise construction, considered comfort and confidence without excess.
