Sir the Label
Step into a dreamlike world where reality blurs with fantasy – this is the core of SIR The Label's 2024 collection, "Reflexion".
Inspired by serene natural beauty, the collection pays homage to the peaceful experience one finds amidst nature's charm. "Reflexion" artistically captures organic forms found in nature, blending them seamlessly with an enchanting mirage's mystery. The prints evoke gentle waves of sand dunes and a captivating oasis on the horizon.
Annie Powers' lens captures this ethereal collection while model Anita Pozzo embodies "Reflexion’s" spirit—representing a woman who dreams and inspires.
The Francesca Bikini is one of the highlights of the collection. This piece beautifully marries function with fashion, showcasing a striking camouflage print in green, blue, and black— reflecting the collection’s primary color scheme.
Crafted from form-fitting lycra, the Francesca String Triangle Top is a classic design by SIR that balances comfort and aesthetic appeal expertly. Its adjustable ties ensure a customized fit while minimizing tan lines - a practical yet stylish consideration.
The distinctive Emerald reflection Print, exclusive to SIR, elevates the bikini. It’s a unique choice for those seeking elegance and a connection to the "Reflexion" collection's natural inspirations. The Francesca Bikini emerges as a fusion of the brand's commitment to quality and nature's serene essence.
The Linocut String Bikini by SIR The Label demonstrates the brand's ability to combine timeless designs with unique details. Although it's not part of the latest "Reflexion" collection, it proves its enduring appeal with its recent restock due to popular demand.
The Ligne print, exclusive to SIR, features a striking geometric striped pattern in black and white, adding sophistication to the bikini. The intricate beaded detail on the right strap of the top and on the tie of the bottom adds a unique tactile element to the design.
Returning to the 'Reflexion' collection, we find simplicity elegantly portrayed through Sol Halter Bandeau and Bikini Brief in sky blue. Embodying an eternal summer spirit, this pair merges tranquil color with functional design.
The bandeau celebrates minimalist design while tonal contrasting binds add a subtle yet powerful element – delivering a sporty edge that's both chic and functional.
Complementing the top is the Sol Bikini Brief which resonates with a similar aesthetic ethos. Its low-rise design is contemporary yet timeless, suiting diverse style preferences.
White Fox
White Fox remains true to its youthful and casual ethos, continually refreshing its offerings instead of releasing structured collections.
Their Instagram profile currently boasts an impressive 2.2 million followers.
One popular trend among influencers showcasing White Fox pieces is the 'Ocean Baby' bikini top paired with the best-selling 'Belmont' bottom. This combination comes in a variety of colors and prints, but the standout design cleverly blends a muted floral motif with an imaginative camouflage pattern in shades of orange, red, and blue, creating a truly stunning visual effect.
For those inclined towards solid colors yet seeking an innovative twist, White Fox presents a striking choice that embodies femininity and youthfulness. This model features large white laces paired with classic black bikini.
It's a fusion of timeless color choices with cutting-edge design. Behind this classic color scheme lies an innovative approach to cut and style, showcasing White Fox's talent for merging traditional elegance with modern flair.
Bondi Born
Bondi Born, as its name suggests, embodies its Australian roots deeply, with Sydney being a global hotspot for beach fashion. For 2024, the brand presents its Leveque collection "crafted to embody the essence of contemporary Australian style—effortless, optimistic, and relaxed."
With such a background, it's hardly surprising that some of the brand's offerings blend its signature minimalistic style with bold color choices, like emerald green.
For my first highlight from the 2024 collection, I want to showcase this long-sleeved bikini using the high stretch Singuleur® fabric, a perfect embodiment of the fashionista style, especially in the striking black color.
Certainly, this isn't your everyday bikini or one you'd pick for a swim in the open sea, but if you aim to dazzle with an exceptionally sophisticated choice, this model is undoubtedly for you.
The Leveque collection also includes this splendid one-piece swimsuit featuring an asymmetrical one-shoulder cut in a color named Alaska Blue. The beauty of this swimsuit lies in its unique cut and captivating color.
The asymmetrical silhouette and serene Alaska Blue hue make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a blend of modern fashion and classic charm in their swimwear.
Concluding our Bondi Born presentation with another one-piece swimsuit, this time featuring a cutout design in striking black-and-white. The elegance and sophistication of this piece, made from ultra-soft Embodee™ fabric, are undeniable. It transcends beachwear boundaries, doubling as a chic top for off-beach occasions. A perfect embodiment of versatility and high fashion, it blurs the lines between swimwear and everyday elegance.
Camilla
Camilla Franks is a renowned fashion designer whose style fuses artistry, creativity, and color combinations inspired by her travels and whimsical musings. Her latest collection, Wonderkind, and Royal Delft, marries bohemian charm with Dutch Delftware artistry—celebrating global artistry by mixing Australia's beachy vibes with Dutch tradition. Each piece tells a unique story of cultural fusion and creative exploration.
Let’s go over the Glaze and Graze bikini set—a pairing of an underwire bikini top with high-waist pants that feature Delft blues and porcelain whites.
This bikini is sustainably designed using ECONYL® regenerated nylon. It features an underwire-supported top adorned with embellished crystals on a contrasting neckline, adjustable straps for comfort, and a tie detail adding chicness to the high-waisted bottom while allowing customizable cinching and shaping. The high-rise cut elongates the legs subtly, finished off with Camilla’s signature crystal adornments.
While the previous bikini paid tribute to the blues and porcelain whites of the Delft tradition, this bikini takes inspiration from the Netherlands' floral tradition. The Dutch Is Life Soft Tie Bikini With Trim features delicate floral patterns in vibrant colors that blend together perfectly. Made from regenerated nylon, it has an elegant and supportive halter neckline. The high-rise cut gives a chic and elongated look to the legs.
We can't leave Camilla's world without presenting at least one one-piece swimsuit – the signature of Camilla Frank’s vibrant imagination. These swimsuits are pure art in the fashion world, with more fabric to unfold her fantasy.
The Porcelain Dream Wired V Neck One Piece is no exception. This swimsuit displays a dance of delicate florals entwined with porcelain accents and emerald greens. It showcases adjustable straps on a mid-rise silhouette.
A decadent v-neckline with underwire support creates sleek lines, finished with embellished crystals adding a sparkling touch.
Cleonie
Derived from the 'Goddess of Water,' Cleonie is a family-owned swimwear brand based in North Avoca, a sunny province north of Sydney. Each piece is made to order, minimizing excess fabric waste using premium quality materials like their exclusive eco-crinkle CIENNA fabric made in Australia.
They've unveiled their 2024 collection called 'Islands', featuring beautifully crafted garments including the stunning Beaded Kini set in Milky Way fantasy. This outfit features hand-beaded tassels depicting stars, suns, and moons, comprising a gathered triangle top and briefs—an incredibly chic and fashionable option sure to dazzle anyone who wears it.
Continuing with the Islands collection, this bikini is sold as separates—including a balconette top featuring the brand's iconic shell motif and blue palm print—perfectly paired with high-waisted bottoms for a unique and exquisite look.
If you're in search of a bold and flattering bikini that complements your sun-kissed skin, take a look at this one!
