Surviving breast cancer is nothing short of a triumph. And women who've come out the other side deserve to feel good about their altered bodies. When it comes to swimwear, one designer has come up with a fashionable solution, courtesy of Viral Nova.
While designers have previously built prosthetic breasts into their swimsuits, Elina Halttunen wanted to celebrate—rather than conceal—the look of a woman's chest after a mastectomy. Enter the Monokini 2.0.
“... I thought that maybe there would be others out there like me, women who wanted swimwear that would not make them feel that they were missing a breast," said Halttunen, who created the line of swimwear together with two artists known as the Nutty Tarts. "Besides, being one-breasted creates great possibilities for cool swimwear design.”
