Shoshanna
Founded in November of 1998 by Shoshanna Gruss, Shoshanna revolutionized dress
departments nationwide with the launch of her first collection. Her dedication to fitting and
flattering the female body while indulging in whimsical details were a refreshing change from the
contemporary offerings of the moment. Gruss continued to make waves in the marketplace with
the launch of her swimwear collection in the Spring of 2001. She was the first to pioneer a
change in the swimwear industry by selling tops and bottoms as separates with lingerie inspired
sizing.
Shoshanna continues to speak to women’s fashion needs and aspirations. The Shoshanna
aesthetic has always been feminine and distinctive, utilizing bold colors and unique details. With
the arrival of her first child in 2005, Gruss introduced a line of children’s swimwear, Shoshanna
Baby Girl, featuring matching mother-daughter swimsuits. The collection expanded into boy’s
swimwear shortly after her son was born. In 2015, Gruss felt there was a void in the eveningwear market and launched Shoshanna Midnight, a separate evening line.
