Before becoming a sought-after illustrator working for publishing giants such as The Sunday Times, Elle magazine, and Erratum, Lyon-based Virginie Morgand specialised in animation. This explains why her colourful hand-drawn shapes are brimming with life and energy and why brands such as Gucci, Dior, and Barneys New York are among her many clients.

There was no doubt that she had to be a part of the Arrels Barcelona line-up. Her swimmers will inspire visions of never-ending fun-filled summer days.
