Viral Intimates Brand CAKES body Makes Swim Week  Debut Alongside Sports

MIAMI, FL — CAKES body, the viral start up turned $100M brand, known for innovative  boob solutions designed to work seamlessly under swimwear and fashion, will make its official Swim 

Week debut through a partnership with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.  

Founded less than five years ago by sisters Taylor Capuano and Casey Sarai, the self-funded startup has  emerged as the category-defining leader in modern shapewear. The brand now drives 30% of search  results for “nipple covers” and ranks as the #1 brand consumers associate with boob solutions and related  essentials.  

As part of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show and Beach Party, select runway models will  wear CAKES body products beneath featured swimwear looks, showcasing the brand’s functional  approach to invisible styling solutions designed for modern fashion and swimwear. 

“The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show has become such a powerful celebration of confidence for women,  and that aligns deeply with what we’ve tried to build at CAKES” said CAKES body Co-Founder Taylor  Capuano, “From day one, our mission has been about helping women feel free in how they dress, so  being part of this moment feels really special.” 

The activation marks the company’s first official participation in Swim Week and represents an expansion  of CAKES body’s growing presence within swimwear and fashion culture. In addition to the runway  partnership, the brand will host a community & creator event in collaboration with model Ella Halikas,  who previously partnered with CAKES body for its Fall 2025 campaign. 

Known for her advocacy surrounding confidence and body acceptance, Halikas was a natural  collaborator for the Swim Week event, which was created to bring together members of the brand’s  Miami community alongside creators, industry tastemakers, and longtime supporters of the company. 

“We started CAKES with no fashion background, no funding, just a social media account and a solution  that we believed in. A community of women who saw themselves in our brand fueled our virality on  social media” said CAKES body Co-Founder Casey Sarai, “To get to translate that momentum into one of  the most iconic stages in culture – the SI Swim Show – feels surreal.” 

The Swim Week activation follows continued product expansion for the brand. On May 18, CAKES body  introduced the Itty Bitty triangles, a new addition to its Grippy CAKES collection developed for smaller  cup sizes and minimal coverage swim and outfit styling. 

CAKES body has grown from a direct-to-consumer startup into an industry leading brand with a  community of over 3 million customers, retail presence in Ulta and Amazon (more coming in 2026-27)  and continues to generate significant social media traction through product innovation, creator  partnerships, and innovative styling solutions designed to support how women dress today. Beyond their  products and growth, the company is dedicated to funding ongoing breast cancer research with the  Breast Cancer Research Foundation and has expanded their childcare advocacy work in 2026 – two  challenges their customers and community face regularly. 

About CAKES body: CAKES body is a leading innovator in modern intimate apparel solutions. The 

bootstrapped start-up has grown from $10Kto $100 million in just three years, donated over $1.5 million
