Decades of Design

1960s: Legacy

60 years ago, Leah Gottlieb and her husband founded the swimwear brand with a completely new vision in mind when it came to swimwear and femininity.

The company then began to write the first lines in its history by presenting glamorous and innovative swimwear to the world.

Gottex has remained committed to combining comfort and quality with a signature sense of glamour—staying true to its original vision without compromise.

1970s: Revolution

Gottex’s innovation was undeniably what defined swimwear in the 1970s—transforming it into a true fashion statement.

For the first time, swimwear was seen not just poolside, but at social events and elegant gatherings.

Every Gottex piece was—and still is—designed to be worn both in the water and beyond.

1990s: Fame

In the 1990s, Gottex made waves with its nautical-inspired collections, earning a place on the world’s most prestigious runways and gaining global recognition. The brand became a favorite among fashion icons like Princess Diana and screen legends including Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor.

Each season, Gottex collections continue to receive acclaim from the international press and are featured in leading luxury retailers around the world.

2010s: A New Era

In 2017, Gottex entered a fresh chapter with the arrival of new designers who introduced a modern perspective to the brand. Their creative approach brings renewed energy while honoring the distinctive identity and design legacy that have shaped Gottex since the beginning.

2020s: Digital Storefront

In 2019, Gottex launched its official website—marking a full-circle moment that connected the brand’s storied heritage with the demands of the modern digital age.

Gottex empowers women to feel confident—both physically and mentally—with swimwear thoughtfully designed to flatter every body. Every detail matters; the quality of the finishes blends harmoniously to create pieces with an elegant, refined look.
