Platinum Inspired by Solange Ferrarini is a specialized swimwear line produced by the US-based brand PilyQ (now PQ Swim), launched in 2018 following a highly publicized copyright dispute. The collection is rooted in the work of Maria Solange Ferrarini, a Brazilian street artist who began hand-crocheting her signature elastic-woven bikinis on the beaches of Trancoso in 1998. After her designs were famously copied by the brand Kiini, PilyQ struck a formal licensing agreement with Ferrarini, ensuring she received credit and compensation for her original craft.
