HeatherLeigh is a New York City-born swimwear company, founded by best friends Heather Hadwen and Mary Leigh Freedman in 2016.
Heather graduated from The Art Institute of Chicago with a BFA in Fashion Design which later led her to become a reputable Head Designer at some of the top fashion empires in the world. Heather began her career in swimwear designing for labels such as; Anne Cole, Ann Taylor LOFT, Calvin Klein, and Express.
After 12 years working her way up in the swimwear industry she decided it was finally time to go out on her own.
Mary Leigh’s career as a ballet dancer contributed to her complex understanding of the female body from all angles in its many beautiful shapes and forms, and as so she naturally exemplifies an elevated eye for color, design, and sophisticated aesthetics.
The two merged their knowledge, experience, and talent resulting in a product with a truly remarkable fit and unique esthetic. HeatherLeigh’s intention is to combine their favorite components of swimwear to give you the most desirable suit you’ve ever worn. HeatherLeigh is committed to creating pieces that fit, flatter, and make you feel your best.
With luxurious imported textiles, seamless “second-skin” finishes, cheeky seats, and higher cut leg lines, they created a line that exemplifies the sultry and sophisticated modern-day woman.
