In 2013, Onia expanded its collection to include men’s casual wear.[2] In 2015, Onia launched women's swim and ready to wear.[3] In December 2015, Onia launched on Mr. Porter.[4] In 2019 the brand moved into licensing acquiring the men's license for Body Glove. [5]

Onia has been featured in The New York Times,[6] The Wall Street Journal,[7] and men’s fashion publications such as GQ and Detail.

Onia swimwear has become increasingly popular in the summer of 2019 amongst celebrities such as Kylie Jenner and Jessica Alba.[8]

Collaborations

Onia has an ongoing collaboration with Liberty Art Fabrics, who supplies fabrics for much of Onia’s swimwear. Onia has also collaborated with Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company and other resorts to create towels for resort guests.

Onia has entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with WeWoreWhat’s Danielle Bernstein. Their recent Italy collection sold nearly $2 million in swimwear within 12 Hours. [9]

Onia runs third-party distribution among brands such as Club Monaco, Theory, Mr. Porter and Net-a-Porter. In 2019 they are launching wholesale distribution for WeWoreWhat as a standalone brand at Coterie. [10]

gollark: How do I make it smite people?
gollark: Hmm, interesting, looks like this bot has features.
gollark: Hold on, the search is quite bad.
