Ziah is an Australian swimwear label by Fashion Designer Erika Toscano, founded in 2015. The label offers wearable poetry that celebrates the female form. An authentic swimwear label that is considered and timeless, crafted in Australia for the finest textiles.

The label's philosophy resists the fast-paced trend cycle, for a considered approach to life that prioritises the sensuality of how good-quality fabrics can feel against the skin.

Each design manifests itself as a striking cut or unassuming curve that transcends categorisation — allowing every Ziah piece to be worn outside of the pool or the beach. Ziah allows the barest form of yourself to seep through.

About the Founder

Fashion designer Erika Toscano founded Ziah in 2015 with a vision to create authentic swimwear that honours the female form. A quest for truth and beauty, Erika was prompted to design a line of swimwear that celebrates the different shapes of the body — rather than laying bare its deepest insecurities.

Erika is the Head Designer at Australian Label St. Agni and in 2020 Ziah partnered with St. Agni to help bring her dream to life. After years of working within the St. Agni team, it felt natural to incorporate Ziah into St. Agni.

“ZIAH IS BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF MINDFUL MANUFACTURING, WITH THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PEOPLE FRONT OF MIND. ZIAH IS COMMITTED TO A CONSCIOUS AND TRANSPARENT JOURNEY.”

Sustainability

Consciously sourcing materials that minimise the environmental impact is of significant importance to Ziah. Wherever possible, the label uses biodegradable yarns and the lining of all Ziah's swimwear is 100% biodegradable - selected with intention and care. The label is currently exploring introducing more biodegradable materials into future collections.

Ziah swimwear is shipped in compostable poly bags to eliminate the negative impact of using standard plastic. Our poly bags will decompose in landfill much faster than standard plastic and can be added to a home or industrial compost.

Manufacturing

All Ziah swimwear is made in Australia. The label looks to minimise fabric waste, producing in limited editions and small batch quantities only.
