HIGH DIVE The idea behind L.A. native George Sotelo’s luxe swim brand Thorsun started at an all-day street party in Brazil during Carnivale: “My pockets are usually stuffed, so I wanted to create a swim short that would allow me to carry everything I needed, but still be streamlined and tailored.” The fashionable, yet functional styles feature original prints inspired by Mesoamerican pottery and five deep pockets (including an internal security pocket). Plus, they dry in less than 10 minutes.

To celebrate the Ginza district store opening in Tokyo, the duo emblazoned a line of classic puffy jackets, sweatshirts and sweaters with emoji-esque designs said to signify magic, luck and friendship.
