Amanda Batula's dream of having her own swimwear line and branching out into the fashion industry is finally coming true.
After the Summer House cast member had expressed her desire to start her own brand throughout Season 8, she is finally getting the opportunity to do so. On Aug. 14, Amanda announced that she would be launching her line, Amanda Batula Swim, exclusively at South Moon Under stores sometime in the future. Amanda had her official launch party for the line on Wednesday, Aug. 28, in New York City, where she gave a preview of some of her designs and toasted to her future. Naturally, her Summer House BFFs, including her excited husband Kyle Cooke, supported her in full force.
Amanda Batula Swim Launch Party: Photos of Who Attended
So many people took to their Instagram Stories on Wednesday night, including Carl Radke, who shared his perspective from the party. In the series of photos, Amanda can be seen standing next to Kyle, holding up mock-ups of the bikinis (including one with a cherry print on it), toasting to the new line, and posing for a photo with Kyle and Carl.
"Congrats Amanda Baula!!!!," Carl wrote over the photo. "So proud of you."
Lindsay Hubbard showed up for her Summer House cast member at the launch party, where she showed off her growing pregnancy bump in a neon green dress. Ciara Miller and Paige DeSorbo were also there to show their support for Amanda, who, according to the backdrop behind them, is a "bikini babe" and the "ultimate girls girl."
Although the release date and final designs have yet to be announced, everything about the launch party — from the colorful aesthetic to the cherry print motif, to the adorable mock-ups — the event looked like it was so much fun.
