Anne Cole is a legendary American swimwear brand born from a deep industry pedigree. The eponymous collection was founded in 1982 by Anne Cole, a fashion pioneer who had spent decades working for her father's influential company, Cole of California. Growing up in the business, Cole developed a sharp understanding of what women wanted in a swimsuit: confidence, comfort, and timeless style. She famously introduced the "Scandal Suit" in the 1960s and, most notably, invented the tankini in the late 1990s, a design that revolutionized the market by offering the flexibility of a two-piece with the modest coverage of a one-piece.
