The Line-Up: Jessie Rudin of La Maree Swimwear
We’ve been fans of her brand, La Marée, from the very beginning and though we’ve featured her in the past, Jessie Rudin is the ultimate Tidalist girl. With a classic style that always evolves and a frame of mind that is both inspiring and innovative, we can never get enough of this mama, surfer, skiier, designer, and all around boss. And because we love her style, we decided to get a refresh on what brands, music, and stores she’s loving these days!
Check below for the full feature and be sure to follow her swimwear line for the best vacation styles.
