Soleil Des Paradis...















Recently I was lucky enough to team up with an amazing crew to create "Soleil Des Paradis" which means Sunshine Of The Tropics...

Inspired by lush tropical surroundings, rich exotic colours and sophistication. 

Featuring some of my favourite swim brands - Mikoh, Acacia, Minimale Animale, Tallows, Billabong + Basta Surf and of course mixed in with a few vintage aloha pieces.

Bikini Diaries #01 | Swim Favourites


 
  
 
 
 




"Choose a job you love and you'll never have to work 
a day in your life" - Confucious

 Growing up I re-call spending all my weekends with my family at the beach, loving the feeling of sunkissed skin, salt in the air and sand in my hair - wearing my favourite bikini at the time.
I fell in love with The Beach.

So it's no surprise that my chosen career was to design swimwear!

The 1st Bikini Diaries post is featuring a few of my favourite swim styles that I designed for Summer '13.

Enjoy this sunshiny day... Much Aloha xx
