Photos: Thando Thabethe Launches Swimwear Range

Adding to her lingerie and shape wear brand, Thando Thabethe has now launched a new swimwear range.

The Summer 2018/19 collection is all about celebrating women’s bodies in all shapes, sizes, and shades, staying true to the foundation of the Thabooty’s brand.

“A bikini body is anybody in a bikini and not just for petite bodies,” Thando said.

“A number of ‘Thabooty Boo’s’ (as consumers of the brand are referred to) would comment on social media and let us know that they too wanted the items but their sizes were not available, and so we had to listen, it’s very important to me that every woman feels included.”

It is all about celebrating their bodies.

“You don’t hear men speaking about a ‘swim shorts body’. They just get into their gear confidently without having to live up to ridiculous standards of society,” she adds.

On the cover, Thando is in a black swimsuit, posing seductively with her hands on her head.

Some of her fans applauded her for the cover, with most however, speaking out about her complexion appearing darker.

“Why did they darken your skin? We love you as you are,” wrote one follower on Instagram.

“Congratulations, Babes. But I know you are not that dark. They shouldn’t have,” wrote another.

Thando came out clearly stating she had approached the magazine with her concerns about the cover, but was told she was not darkened.

“I agree that, yes, I do look darker. I have spoken to the editor and she assured me that they did not do anything so I take her word for it.”

Cosmopolitan editor Holly Meadows too came out defending the photo.

“Thando Thabethe is a remarkable woman and we are proud to have her star on this month’s Cosmopolitan cover. We have not, and will never alter a cover star’s skin tone. This goes against the grain of our core brand values, which include diverse and true representation of all women.”
