Mara Hoffman Weighs In on Mindy Kaling's "Most Flattering" Swimsuit

"I think I could get through to her from swim first. I think it's easier to ease her into color and print through swimsuits more than, like, a crazy printed dress or colorful thing. First, it's a lot less fabric and usually when you're wearing a swimsuit you're away from your normal life. Like you're not wearing a swimsuit to the office or out to drinks with your cool girlfriends. You're usually in a happy place where you are letting go a little. It's like another part of your personality comes out when you're on vacation. It's like you go to your happy place. I think that that color and print lives well in happy spaces. But there's nothing wrong with a great black bathing suit — you'll definitely see me in some black bathing suits as well — we make them, they're important. As far as getting a girl to break out I would say give her the sickest little bathing suit and see the compliments she gets when she's in a tropical place or surfing or doing something that involves sun and water."
