When Draya Michele started her swimsuit line on her first season of Basketball Wives LA it was a collection of simple, matching Bikini tops & bottoms. Her collection today is quite expansive and A LOT more creative. People are saying that Draya owes her new found creativity to swimsuit designer Andrea Iyamah. While they have some similarities (particularly in the image below), I don’t believe that Draya completely stole her ideas from Andrea Iyamah. There may have been a little creative influence here and there and then of course we have to remember this is fashion! She’s making what people are demanding!
MINT & Andrea Iyamah’s designs have been compared.
Heres Whats happening at Andrea Iyamah (Read Post on Andrea Iyamah & Winifred Taylor). It’s a little bit more edgy while Draya’s line is a little bit more risqué. Personally I love both and fully intend on having a draw full of both this summer!
Andrea or Draya?? Thoughts??
I love the prints and cutouts of Andrea Iyamah Swimsuits! Her Nigerian Heritage definitely influences her designs. Shop Andrea Iyamah swimsuits on http://www.shopDOKU.com. Use promo code SWIM15 to get free shipping.
