Who We Are
Born on the beaches of Honolulu, Hawai‘i in 2017, THOSE SEEN DANCING® is rooted in a lifelong obsession with bikinis.
We reimagine the most iconic Brazilian swim silhouettes using eco-conscious materials
to create unique pieces designed for the true bikini connoisseur.
At the heart of TSD is thoughtful design and production.
Our mission is to create unique, beautiful pieces that do the least harm to the earth
while uplifting local communities, and empowering you to feel bold under the sun.
We believe that swimwear has the power to inspire, both individually and collectively.
Never hesitate to step beyond your comfort zone.
And always remember to listen for the music.
About the founder
Those Seen Dancing was founded by Honolulu-born designer Keari Shibuya, whose deep connection to island life fuels her passion for creating beautiful swimwear. Inspired by the natural beauty and culture of Bali, Keari spends much of her time there, drawing on the island’s vibrant energy while personally managing the production of each collection.
With a B.S. in Environmental Sciences from San Diego State University and a background in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Design through UC Berkeley, Keari’s journey began in the environmental sector. She dedicated several years to environmental consulting before turning her focus toward fashion, launching Those Seen Dancing in late 2017. Her brand is a reflection of her love for nature, sustainability, and the freedom to express oneself through design.
