Last summer at Coachella, where she performed a solo set, Jennie Kim<\/a> untied her bathrobe and playfully flashed a bikini top with her name on it<\/a>. If the 30-year-old were anyone else, it would\u2019ve been just another Instagram Reel\u2014but she\u2019s a breakout K-pop artist from Blackpink, so the move made international headlines. Fans screamed. Social media pounced. And just like that, Jennie became an instant bikini icon.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s great news for Francesca Aiello, the founder and creative director of Frankies Bikinis, and now for us, too. On April 2, the California beachwear brand will launch JENNIE x Frankies Bikinis, a capsule collection of \u201cswim to street\u201d bathing suits, boy shorts, tees, and sweats created with the megastar herself. \u201cFrankie has always created pieces that I would actually want to wear, so I always loved the brand,\u201d Jennie tells ELLE exclusively. \u201cI thought it would be a really cool opportunity to show my side of swimwear and create pieces that felt very me.\u201d<\/p>\n

That includes vintage-inspired boy shorts and crochet knits (\u201cIt just felt very natural with the vintage inspiration and the overall mood we wanted,\u201d Jennie says) along with a cherry-colored star tee that will likely hit her next concert\u2019s VIP section with the force of a thousand TikTok hearts. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of this collaboration,\u201d says Aiello. \u201cBringing Jennie into the Frankies world felt like the most natural and exciting creative partnership we\u2019ve embarked on.\u201d You can see the easy beach vibes running through the campaign shot by Alessio Albi, which features the superstar leaning out of a vintage Volkswagen bus, driving a black scooter down the shoreline, and posing with Aiello herself in white string bikinis.<\/p>\n

If you prefer a more covered-up look, \u201cStart with one of the sets or minidresses so you feel comfortable first,\u201d Jennie advises. \u201cAnd then you can always mix it with things that make you feel comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Would she ever incorporate the new line into her upcoming tour wardrobe, or another concert in the future? \u201cYeah, I think I would,\u201d Jennie answers. \u201cI\u2019d probably wear a bikini top with oversized pants or a jacket. In the summer, I like mixing swimwear with casual clothes to add that effortless element.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for her stateside arrival in June, when Jennie headlines Governors Ball in New York City with Lorde and A$AP Rocky. \u201cWe\u2019re still working on the looks,\u201d she says. \u201cBut I think they\u2019ll be fun and a little bold. Festivals are always different from regular shows, so we\u2019re trying a few new things. I\u2019m excited for this one.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
