In the 1990s, while waitressing in New York City, Malia Mills started her fashion label with the help of her sister Carol. Today, they have 11 stores, a Brooklyn headquarters and an e-commerce business. Their motto "Love Thy Differences" sums up Malia's approach to swimwear: "We don't want to change the way you look, we want to change the way you see yourself."
