Fashion photographer turned swimwear designer Doug Barry is a true renaissance man. With a rich family history in sewing fabrics and clothing design, he began sketching clothes and swimwear while still in high school. He eventually moved to Nashville, TN after school and became involved in the local fashion scene as a photographer. The vision to connect the styles of the Nashville scene with Miami glamour was born in the mist of the many runway shows and after parties Doug attended as a fashion photographer. He eventually settled on a retro 60's vibe that came from his fascination and love of the vintage James Bond movies. But as he tried to recreate these looks in his photo shoots, he discovered that neither the swimwear from that era survived, nor were there modern recreations of them. So like any good entrepreneur who recognizes a void in a marketplace, Nash Beach was born. Their 2020 collection is filled with bold vibrant metallic shimmery fabrics and sexy retro styled cuts.
