Anne Cole is a swimwear brand that continues the innovation and style of its namesake founder. Anne Cole revolutionized the swimwear industry several times during her career. The first time was when she introduced the Scandal Suit while working for her fathers company in the 1960s. She did it again in 1997 when she was running her own brand, with the invention of the tankini. Only a few years later, she introduced the concept of purchasing tops and bottoms separately, once again forever changing the way women would buy swimsuits.
