What advice do you have for other young girls trying to start their own businesses?<\/strong>\n\nI launched <a href=\"https:\/\/poswim.com\/\">P\u014d Swim<\/a> on my website earlier this year when I turned 15. I worked hard to try and design what young girls, like me, wanted in a swimsuit. The advice I have for other young girls trying to start their own businesses is believe in your ideas and set your goals high. Share your ideas for feedback with those you trust. Take advice and don\u2019t be scared. You can achieve anything if you put your mind to it.\n\n<strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-featured-po-one-piece-swimsuit-nude\/aerie\/s-prod\/0750_1004_130?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_171201_13\">one piece swimsuit<\/a> has really made a comeback!

We are lucky enough to swim, boat and sunbathe all year round. Miami girls are always looking for that \u201cnew\u201d bikini. We are active so it must move with us. Miami has influenced the ease of my designs, the comfort of the ultra-soft fabrics and the colors I choose. From the Miami sunsets, to the city lights of South Beach, all the colors and shapes of Miami have built my collection.\n\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-po-swim-by-ava-frati-featured\/aerie\/s-cat\/7880017?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_171201_10\">P\u014d Swim<\/a> is continuing to grow! What can we expect to see in the future from your brand?<\/strong>\n\nWhen I was younger, I knew I wanted to design.&nbsp;P\u014d Swim has just started as a bathing suit company but I want to expand and grow. I want the P\u014d Swim girl to wear my cover ups, carry my beach bags and slip on my shoes! In the future I plan to do&nbsp;espadrilles, beach bags and hats, ready to wear, and activewear. I want to grow with P\u014d Swim girls and hope they want to grow with me too!\n\n<strong>What makes you #AerieREAL?<\/strong>\n\nI am #AerieReal because I took chances and believed in a dream. All young girls dream of a way to express themselves but sometimes we get scared we may not achieve our goals. I chose to express myself through design. I hope other girls love my story and feel inspired to believe in themselves and dream big too. I am grateful to Aerie for giving me this awesome opportunity!\n\nWhere there is confidence there is beauty!\n\nAva Frati #AvaReal\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-po-swim-by-ava-frati-featured\/aerie\/s-cat\/7880017?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_171201_10\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32468 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-2.jpg\" alt=\"Real Talk with Ava Frati of P\u014d Swim\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-2.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-2.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-2.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-2.jpg?resize=505,505 505w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-2.jpg?resize=584,584 584w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-2.jpg?resize=210,210 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-po-swim-by-ava-frati-featured\/aerie\/s-cat\/7880017?cm=sUS-cUSD&amp;icid=aerie_Social_WP_171201_10\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32473 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-7.jpg\" alt=\"Real Talk with Ava Frati of P\u014d Swim\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-7.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-7.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-7.jpg?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-7.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-7.jpg?resize=505,505 505w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-7.jpg?resize=584,584 584w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/ava-7.jpg?resize=210,210 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\n\nWant to see more of Ava&#8217;s suits?
