One of our most popular swimsuits turns 10 this year: The Seabody! It's a classic MYMARINI design, with its deep back neckline and flattering fit. The Seabody has been featured in our seasonal New Summer and Shine collections every year since MYMARINI was founded.

From idea to reality

“Living mindfully, I get inspired by everything around me … an old piece of clothes, a color range I see in nature, or a beautiful woman with a great style walking by. I am always inspired by life itself.” – Mareen Burk

The design of the Seabody was developed with a functional and durable swimsuit in mind, combining timeless design with the feel-good factor.

Limited Poster

To celebrate 10 years of Seabody, we created an exclusive poster in a limited edition featuring a painting by our founder Mareen Albright.

The poster is limited to 100 copies. Available in our online shop and flagship store Hamburg!

Take a look back at the past 10 years

The Seabody has been essential to MYMARINI's annual collections since its founding. Have a look at the history of its creation and pictures from each year since 2013.

2013

The year 2013 is not only the birth year of MYMARINI but also of the Seabody. The idea was to design a swimsuit that is like an elegant garment for the water. Since the first idea, the Seabody has been improved and optimized bit by bit every year. In Sri Lanka, our founder Mareen Albright personally tested the swimsuit for the first time during a surf session.

2014

In 2014, the Seabody was featured for the first time in the magazine of the Sueddeutsche Zeitung and thus helped MYMARINI to the breakthrough. The picture was taken on a trip to Sri Lanka with Mareen, her now husband Willi, and good friends. At the shoot, their friend Miri was wearing the Seabody.

2015

The first professionally organized photo shoot of MYMARINI! True to MYMARINI style, Mareen met Carlotta—the woman in the picture­—at a campsite in France and asked her if she would like to model for MYMARINI. Promise kept: A year later, the photo shoot with Tim Wendrich took place in Denmark.

2016

Sometimes MYMARINI photo shoots happen spontaneously. This was also the case in 2016, when Mareen approached this beautiful woman at the beach in France and asked her to spontaneously do a photo shoot with her. Fortunately, she agreed.

2017

These beautiful photos were taken during a trip to our production facility in Croatia. Mareen spontaneously asked Katja at the airport if she would be interested in a photo shoot for MYMARINI. She agreed and Christin Schwarzer took the beautiful photos at Le Meridian in Split, Croatia.

Christin Schwarzer has been an important part of the team since MYMARINI was founded. As one of the first customers, Mareen met her in her living room in 2013, where she was selling the swimwear at that time. In return, Christin took photos for MYMARINI and has been part of the photo shoots ever since. Now, she is also MYMARINI's sustainability manager.

2018

This photo shoot at the natural swimming pools in Azenhas do Mar, Portugal, was the beginning of MYMARINI and model Valeriya Gogunskaya's love story. Mareen met Valeriya via an Instagram call while looking for new models. Valeriya is such an interesting person that she was also part of the Inspiring Women series. The beautiful photos were taken by Filipe Neto, who—like Valeriya—has been involved in the picture productions almost every season since then.

2019

It's part of MYMARINI's philosophy to travel for three months every winter and to take pictures for the upcoming season during these trips. And of course, to surf. A lot. In 2019, Mareen traveled to Costa Rica with her husband Willi where she met Diana. Sometimes everything just fits together, because not only did Diana join us for the MYMARINI photo shoot, but they also found a dream villa as the perfect setting. The result is these great pictures that immediately make us dream again of this beautiful place.

2020

When Mareen was having dinner with good friends in a Portuguese restaurant, she spotted this small bay with perfect waves from the dining table, and they couldn't help but get up immediately, unpack the camera, and take advantage of the dreamlike atmosphere. This is how these cheerful pictures of Concha and Gabi were taken. Mareen and Willi got to know them on a trip through Portugal with a van and have been good friends ever since. Both play an important role in MYMARINI's pictures every year.

2021

The MYMARINI photo shoots often live from their spontaneity and surprises. With a heavy heart, Christin Schwarzer had to cancel a planned photo shoot in 2021 and suggested Sebastian Muth as a replacement. He did not only take the beautiful pictures of Lina, but also spontaneously organized the yacht for the photo shoot. What a special location for the MYMARINI photos! Lina has been a model from the start and has been part of the photo productions ever since.

Sometimes it's a difficult decision whether to use good waves for surfing or for a photo shoot. Fortunately, on that day, Mareen and Christin chose the second option. That's why these pictures of Concha were taken early in the morning in a beautiful light.

Mathieu Hemon's photos are always guaranteed to become classics. So are the images from the 2021 photoshoot with Louise Ropagnol in France. He travels around Biarritz for us almost every year to take pictures for our collections - often with Louise as a model.

2022

Never change a winning team: Portugal has been a travel destination for Mareen, her husband Willi and their good friend and photographer Christin for many years. This was also the case in 2022 when Christin took these pictures of Valeriya Gogunskaya wearing the Seabody in the beautiful evening sun.

2023

For the first time in the history of MYMARINI, Mareen and Willi didn't participate in the lifestyle photo shoot for the collection '23. But for a good reason: Mareen was pregnant! That's why other production teams supported MYMARINI. For instance, Elena Breuer and her team had a photo shoot in Croatia.
