ABOUT US

As a Black-owned, female-led company, Riot Swim was born from Monti’s desire to revolutionize the swimwear industry, creating collections that embrace and celebrate the diversity of body types and skin tones often overlooked in the market.Founded in 2016 by Monti Landers and her husband, Cedric, Riot Swim has emerged as a leading lifestyle brand celebrated for its commitment to innovation and inclusivity. Monti's vision was to build a brand where every woman feels confident, seen, and empowered, establishing Riot Swim as a leader in redefining representation in fashion.

What began as a swimwear line has since evolved into a comprehensive lifestyle brand, offering thoughtfully designed lounge and activewear collections that seamlessly integrate into the everyday lives of our global clientele.

Monti's vision focuses on simplicity and elegance, resulting in elevated, versatile essentials that transition effortlessly from the beach to the gym and from leisure to everyday life. Our unwavering commitment to quality, timeless style, and inclusivity has positioned Riot Swim as a go-to label for discerning women seeking luxurious yet approachable wardrobe staples.

 To further broaden our reach, Monti launched Ocean Ave by Riot Swim, a collection that introduces fresh, trend-forward styles to a younger, more playful audience. Ocean Ave offers an accessible price point, ensuring that more women can experience the style and confidence that Riot Swim is known for, proving that great design doesn’t have to come at a high cost.

Riot Swim's influence has been recognized by top fashion publications, including Vogue, InStyle, and Elle, cementing our status as an industry leader. 

 Our collections are proudly carried by premier retailers such as Kith, Revolve, and Nordstrom, making our designs accessible to a diverse and expansive customer base. As we continue to shape the future of fashion, Riot Swim sets the standard for inclusivity, quality, and timeless style, building a legacy as a trailblazer in the industry.
