The first event featured Saucy Rose, Peony, La Biquini, Muchacho, Carmel Simone and Mijanou, each having its own distinct look.
Saucy Rose
Saucy Rose were up first with a very flirty look incorporating pink
floral patterns and ruffles. Some pieces could have been mistaken as
underwear rather than swimwear but even so it was an absolutely gorgeous collection.
Peony
Peony was next with a selection of floral bandeau style tops and small bikini bottoms. This was a simple yet girly collection that i can see appealing to a large number of girls. I particulary love the ruffle top, especially as a girl with not much up top, this will attract attention away from that and give the effect that i have more than i do. Score :)
La Biquini
A great collection for the more daring person who doesn't want the usual floral patterned swimwear that we usually see. I love the bright colours and the originality although it is not something i would usually pick out.
Muchacho
A professional salsa dancer opened the show which gave us a taste of what to come from the Bondi based designer. The theme continued with a selection of amazing head pieces and stunning prints of beaches on the swimwear. Even some of the models got into the spirit and showed off their salsa moves. We were also treated to a bit of eye candy with a show of the mens range!
Carmel Simone
This collection is great for any girl who is a bit more self conscious about their body. The high waisted bottoms will suck you in and disguise the love handles and tummy and the swimsuit will do the same yet cover even more, whilst still offering a sexy look as it exposes all the way down the middle. The swimsuit is probably better suited to a smaller girl as there is no upper support so the balconette top in the first picture will be more suitable.
Mijanou
I loved the hippy look in this collection. The tassells although not exactly practical were completely different to what i have seen before and would be perfect for festivals.

White Sands
The second show of the night kicked off with White Sands, the only established designer of the day. I felt this was similar to Peony, with the pastel florals and girly nature. This was right up my street. I adore this collection! I love the cute ruffles and patterns, and the colours are the ones i am always drawn to for bikinis for their summery nature.
KS Swim
The last show of the night was KS Swim. The collection featured an unusual design of Egyptian Hieroglyphics so just slightly different to the usual patterns we see! To be honest i am not too keen on these designs, i feel the Hieroglyphics are just placed on top of the striped patterns rather than incorporated into them.
