In mid-February, Sherris and Toledano traveled to Dakar, Senegal to visit professional surfer Khadjou Sambe but also ended up forming a bond with mother and daughter surfers, coach Maguina and Aminata Seck. (The duo are a part of the Snoopy and The Beatles shirt But I will love this collective Black Girl Surf who is currently trying to raise funding for their new surf school in Dakar.) “I was drawn this year to document surfers because it was a water sport I had not yet explored,” says Sherris who in the past has traveled as far as India to document professional swimmers, “They have the right outfits that allow layering and covering up of the body against the harsh sun and surfboards.”

Back in New York, when Sherris finally began to create more samples, COVID-19 hit and she was forced to quarantine. With the Snoopy and The Beatles shirt But I will love this garment district virtually closed, her supply chain had shut down and was forced to work solo in her apartment, using all of the leftover pieces around her house. (Each piece is currently one-off.) Ultimately, being in isolation was an experience that brought her back to, of course, the concept of family ties. The photos that chronicle international sands and the families that frequent them serve as a stylish reminder of things to look forward to. “My philosophy is just to look up and straight ahead and surround myself with community and people I love.There are tons of iterations of a two-piece bathing suit and too many micro trends to count — luxe underwire balconettes, ultra-high cut, revealing bottoms, cardigan bikini tops, and strappy bikini sets resembling what my colleague Liana Satenstein calls, “midriff floss.” With the overwhelming number of options to choose from, there’s something to be said for the longevity of a classic triangle bikini. If you’ve relied on your most essential and timeless silhouettes throughout the year, a similar approach makes sense when it comes to your beachwear. Casual days in the sun call for unfussy silhouettes and a classic triangle cut bikini aligns well with 2020’s no-frills approach to getting dressed. In a time where nothing beats slipping into your most comfortable t-shirt and other go-to basics, the best string bikinis keep it simple.
