other · 2026-08-04

Devon Lee Carlson and Francesca Aiello, the mind behind Frankies Bikinis, have launched their first joint project called 'Sunshine Girls.' They celebrated with a beautiful dinner at Paradise Cove’s Field of Dreams, close to Aiello’s Malibu home, where Carlson recently got engaged. Among the guests were Carlson's sister Sydney, her fiancé Duke Nicholson, and celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Blake Griffin, all wearing pieces from the collection, which features silk slips and animal prints. The line, drawing inspiration from past fashion trends, includes low-rise jeans that harken back to Y2K. Carlson found the evening magical, while Aiello, known for working with stars like Gigi and Bella Hadid, infused vibrant colors into the designs. The night ended with a surprise pink cake for Carlson's 32nd birthday, but she felt the real gift was seeing everyone in the collection.
