In her early 20’s, Toxic Sadie’s designer, Erin Thomas, began altering about 80% of the clothing and swimwear she bought. “I altered the clothing because it never fit quite right, the swimwear because back then there weren’t a lot of choices in swimwear if you wanted something different, and I have always enjoyed standing out from the crowd,” she explains. Finally, Erin decided to try her skills at designing and sewing her own bikinis. Her designs were incredibly unique and outside the normal bikini box, using funky color combinations, parts from antique jewelry and hand beaded embellishments. Friends took notice of her original designs, and she began making suits for them. Soon, friends of friends were asking where to buy the suits, and the demand for them grew quickly, so she decided to turn her creativity and love of fashion into an actual business. She began creating custom swimsuits that quickly garnered a loyal celebrity following and has been seen in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit the last ten years.
