Irina Korkhin Siegel

Irina has over 15 years of sales and buying experience in both retail and wholesale. Working as a sportswear and swimwear buyer at both Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue, Irina found a void in the marketplace: smaller independent swimwear designers needed sales representation in New York.

In 2001, Irina created IKS, a showroom dedicated to representing such designers. Irina loves to be the swimwear “matchmaker” – finding the right product for the right store to insure successful partnerships for all involved.
