EmRata’s fearlessness has taken her from model to actress to writer, so it’s no surprise that her swimwear line features bold and edgy designs you won’t find elsewhere.
Emily Ratajkowski’s meteoric rise over the past decade has squashed any slander that she’s just another pretty face.
Her career began humbly enough, in the background of a pop music video. But she’s since spun straw into gold by leveraging her striking look—and the fame that came with it—into a bestselling book, a platform for women’s health advocacy, multiple businesses, and a bulletproof personal brand.

Inamorata, launched in 2017, is inspired by Ratajkowski’s own upbringing in the charming beach town of Encinitas, San Diego, where the bathing suit lifestyle reigns supreme. EmRata brings beach culture global by designing swimsuits that can be worn as actual clothes, as she no-so-subtly hints in her “City Kini” collection.
Her art background also makes itself known through the brand’s distinctive designs, many of which feature a retro aesthetic of the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, full of high-cut legs and cinched waists to flatter the female figure.
Showcasing Inamorata’s Iconic Swimwear Pieces
Let’s dive into some of our favorite looks from the iconic entrepreneur. Each piece embodies Ratajkowski’s vision of celebrating individuality and body positivity. Her designs allow women to express themselves while feeling effortlessly stylish and empowered. Through its thoughtful details and timeless appeal, Inamorata redefines swimwear as a statement of self-assurance and femininity.

No matter where you’re headed, this ruched underwire top—available in two vibrant patterns or classic solid black—is sure to stand out. It features adjustable straps and a chic tie-back to guarantee the perfect fit for any shape or size.
Pair it with the low-rise, cheeky Hillcrest bottom, complete with ruched detailing and knots on either side.
As part of the “City Kini” collection, Ratajkowski models this suit amid the urban backdrop of New York City to prove the bikini can be more than just swimwear. So, whether you’re lounging on the beach or looking to add some edge to your everyday wear, this combo fits the bill.

The combo of this suit’s criss-cross halter neckline and statement butterfly motif is a modern take on a Y2K classic. The flattering cutout, cheeky bottom, and high waist are designed to accentuate the female figure and flatter your silhouette.
The suit is part of Inamorata’s Butterfly collection, which features bikinis and beachwear in the standout print.

Another City Kini staple, this traditional triangle top is given an edgier spin with its micro fit and bold pattern. The low-rise thong bottoms offer a deep curve in the front and sides so you can wear them up high on the hips—a style that defines the waist and elongates the legs.
EmRata’s Encinitas roots are alive and well as she models this itty-bitty bikini with skater socks and Vans Old Skools. Again, Ratajkowski shows off the versatility of her collection by placing the California-made bikini against an unexpected city backdrop.
George’s Leopard One-Piece

Leopard print manages to be both edgy and classic, with incredible staying power for such a loud pattern—so it only makes sense that EmRata jumped on jungle prints with Inamorata’s Leopard collection.
The George’s one-piece features a halter neckline that crisscrosses all the way down the back and wraps around your body to create a dramatically cinched waistline. It also features a Brazilian cut booty and a square neckline to create a silhouette you won’t get from other swimsuits.
Las Olas Top and Bottom - Pink Floral Zebra Wave

You’d be hard-pressed to find a suit sexier or strappier than the Las Olas Top and Bottom, especially in the vibrant Pink Floral Zebra Wave print. For a more demure aesthetic, opt for the classic Black or the romantic Dawn shade.
The iconic Inamorata look features a ruched top and extra-long ties you can wrap however you want. The bottoms have a tie on one side for a subtle asymmetrical look, along with a low-rise front and ruched back.
Luciana Top and Bottom - Red

Sexy and supportive, the Luciana is a double-whammy when it comes to both fashion and function. The underwire top, pictured here in an irresistible fire truck red, features a criss-cross back, ruched detailing, and a subtle sheen. The ties are long enough to fashion into a statement bow, adding bonus points to a suit already topping the charts when it comes to femininity.
The bikini bottom also features oversized straps and a soft sheen, along with ruching and a low-rise front. With a suit like this, you won’t go unnoticed—whether it’s on IG or IRL.
Encinitas One-Piece - Black

Bearing the name of EmRata’s beloved hometown, the Encinitas is sexy, simple, and stylish. It’s built for the bold—described by the brand as “our most daring suit to date”—with its thong back, ’80s-inspired halter tie top, and adjustable waist tie that accentuates your shape (the female figure is always front and center in Ratajkowski’s designs).
To put it simply, this suit is a showstopper.
The Rosetta Top and Phoebe Bottom - Sea Green

The Rosetta Top is an updated version of the bestselling Orpheus Top but with a spin—or, rather, a frill. The simple triangle cut is accented by soft ruffles and a subtle sheen that gives it a girlier, more playful aesthetic. Size down to achieve EmRata’s signature micro look, or stay true to size for a classic triangle fit.
The Phoebe Bottom is the perfect companion, complete with the same soft sheen and ruffle detailing on the back and sides. Plus, its high-rise sides will elongate the leg and accentuate the waist, creating the silhouette Ratajkowski is famous for.
Indulge Your Inner Supermodel with Inamorata Woman
The swimsuit lifestyle isn’t just for San Diego. Whether you’re shopping for beachwear or revamping your streetwear, you’ll find something in Inamorata’s archive of bikinis and one-pieces, which run the gamut from edgy to retro to classic with a twist.
These swimsuits aren’t for the faint of heart. They’re daring and bold and unafraid to showcase the female figure in all its glory.
To embrace Inamorata, you’ll need to embrace the philosophy of EmRata herself: If you’re feeling confident, there isn’t much else that matters. And remember: It’s never too early or too late to take a risk and reinvent yourself—or your wardrobe.
