It’s Beach O’clock on a sunny Sunday morning, and Kikidoll is recovering on her matching sofa in one of her signature Hawaiian print bikinis, surrounded by her silky soft bikini-print cushions in spandex!
Exhilarated and exhausted after showing her first-ever collection of bikinis and beachwear at the world’s largest and most prestigious swimwear trade show in Miami, Swim Show 2010, she show-cased her flirty designs in a traditional bamboo and lauhala-mat beach hut amongst over 300 international top-end designers. Buyers, vendors, models, and press from all over the world attended a week long South Beach fest that fused fashion and partying at events sponsored by Mercedes Benz and the Swimwear Association of Florida.
Shells, tropical leaves, seahorses, hibiscus flowers and bamboo are featured in Kikidoll’s unique textiles as vibrant and pastel shades of aqua, lime, turquoise, pink, coral, peach and orchid compete for attention. For added depth she uses khaki, midnight and black in her luxury fabrics, with superb construction and clever styling. Girly detailing like ruffles and frills combined with the use of natural seaside elements for embellishment like bamboo, coconut shell, mother of pearl and coral are the hallmarks of Kikidoll’s vibe on beach and swimwear. Each bikini is fully lined and has removable straps for added comfort and support while tanning or surfing or fishing. Six prints and two solid bikinis have matching ruffled and lacey beach skirts and jewelled tees to swap and interchange as cover-ups.
Kikidoll is ready for that Mai Tai after a week of hard work and late hours. Gone to the beach…!
