Candice Swanepoel Taps Into Her Wild Side for Tropic of C's Summer 2026 Drop
Bringing untamed energy to the swimwear lineup.
Candice Swanepoel is proving that the concrete jungle is just as wild as the real one. Her eco-lifestyle brand, Tropic of C, has just unleashed its Summer 2026 collection with the “L’Animal” campaign. Shot in Paris by Miroslav Kovalenko, the visuals follow Swanepoel as she explores the intersection of strength and sensuality. It’s all about that instinctive, untamed spirit, just with a very chic, French twist.
The collection stays true to the brand’s conscious design ethos, mixing minimalist silhouettes with earthy textures and sun-faded tones that look like they’ve spent all day at the beach. The real stars of the show are Tropic of C’s signature swimwear and ready-to-wear pieces, now reimagined in bold new animal prints. These prints add a whole new level of attitude to your rotation.
Whether you’re lounging poolside or catching a flight, these pieces are designed to feel like a second skin. Styled by Marc Eram, the campaign captures an effortless vibe that makes high-fashion eco-consciousness look easy. If you’ve been looking for a sign to lean into your animal instincts this summer, this is definitely it.
Take a look at the bold imagery above, including some BTS shots, and head to the brand’s website to shop the collection.
