Greece, Mexico ... Just hearing these countries' names invokes pictures of sea and sun ... and swimwear, of course. A beautiful young woman, originating from these two countries, has turned swimsuits into science and sells them with great success. Group Paolita-branded swimming suits are sold in 23 countries, and Anna Paola Papaconstantinou has seen her shares rise steadily.

The designer

Group Paolita swimsuits made their debut in 2010. They have always stood out with their chic design, superb quality, and perfect form. And this is the reason why only five years later they are already being sold in 23 countries, and the turnover of young Anna Paola Papaconstantinou's company is expected to reach $750,000. The company is headquartered in London and employs a staff of 11.

Anna Paola lived in Greece until she was 17 years old. Then she left the country to study psychology first, and then fashion.

Asked whether she plans a return to Greece, she told Fortune magazine: "I would be happy to go back to Greece, if only I could know that my company would be able to work in a stable environment, the same way as in the UK, without the hurdles of Greek bureaucracy."
