Gigi C

About

GIGI C is a modern collection of luxury swimwear founded in 2016 by then 16-year-old Gianna "Gigi" Caruso and her mother, Tina. The company was built on the belief that a functional swimsuit should enhance your style—never inhibit it. Since its launch in 2017, GIGI C has become a go-to brand for women seeking glamorous designs without sacrificing comfort and functionality. Made from high quality luxurious European fabrics, each style goes through a rigorous fit process in the company’s Los Angeles design studio and is tested by Gigi to ensure unique style, glamorous lines, and durability. In 2019, GIGI C expanded into activewear with GIGI C Sport. The collection’s combination of high performance support and contemporary styles provide a seamless transition from the gym to beyond.

Growth and Engagement Through Visual Shopping

Gigi C has harnessed the power of visual shopping and video commerce to dramatically enhance customer engagement and drive product discovery. The brand's use of video plays and gallery impressions has been instrumental in showcasing their products' quality and versatility. For instance, monthly video plays have reached impressive numbers, significantly impacting sales and engagement metrics. By enabling customers to see their athleisure and swimwear worn in real-life scenarios, Gigi C has effectively influenced purchasing decisions, elevating the overall shopping experience.
