Emerging from sun-drenched childhoods and a shared passion for fashion, Gabriela and Paula founded Gapaz in 2014, driven by a desire to redefine swimwear. Growing up by the beach, they shared a deep connection with the sun, the sea, and the effortless beauty of beach life. However, they recognised a scarcity of designs that celebrated the authentic female form, which motivated them to embark on a mission to craft a brand embodying both sophistication and unapologetic sensuality. Thus came Gapaz. Their unique talents and backgrounds created a brand that would dress women confidently and promote an authentic, daring lifestyle.
A Digital-First Brand with Global Impact
A digitally native brand, Gapaz swiftly garnered global acclaim, with its designs being coveted by influencers and celebrities alike. This rapid ascent cemented its reputation for exclusivity and style, underpinned by an unwavering dedication to high-end craftsmanship. What sets Gapaz apart, besides how the brand works textures in its designs in an original way, is that each piece is a testament to this commitment, boasting:
- Exclusive prints that command attention.
- Premium fabrics for enduring comfort and durability.
- Bold silhouettes that flatter and empower.
- A touch of sensuality, celebrating feminine confidence.
- Every swimwear piece has UV protection and stainless hardware.
Empowering Women Through Fashion and Craftsmanship
Gapaz stands as a beacon of female empowerment. The brand is entirely run by a team of women, demonstrating that incredible things can happen when they support one another. Their commitment to ethical practice and high-end craftsmanship is a brand staple. In addition, the linen used for the garments is sustainable, and every piece is 100% meticulously produced in Brazil.
Swimwear That Empowers, Style That Speaks
Beyond swimwear, Gapaz embodies a lifestyle of bold confidence and unwavering self-assurance. Its versatility extends beyond the beaches of Brazil, being the perfect fit for women who demand the very best. The brand is a declaration of style, a celebration of strength, and a testament to the power of female vision. Wearing Gapaz is a statement of the modern, confident, elegant woman.
European Summer Collection
Gapaz’s latest designs are inspired by the European Summer, which is also the name of this new collection. The pieces will appeal to women who live with intensity and who appreciate the beautiful landscapes of Europe and how they are touched by sunlight during this time of year. Freedom, elegance, and authenticity are the three pillars of this collection. The designs’ silhouettes are created to enhance the female form and are made with premium fabrics with three exclusive prints:
- Barcos – An invitation to lightness and the pleasure of vacation. With bold shades of blue and a fun, carefree mood, it captures the freshness of sunny days and the joy of living each moment to the fullest.
- Fan – In brown tones, the print delivers sophistication through minimalist expression and timeless elegance.
- Dolce Roses – With a more dramatic flair, this one is dedicated to the romantics. It adds a poetic, emotional touch to the collection.
