Vintage swimsuit making presence at Australian Fashion Week
Vintage swimsuits are back via the creations made by Karen Nielsen. The swimsuits which are inspired in the fifties era will be featured in the Australian Fashion Week this Friday.
The designer revealed that her collection was inspired by old photographs of her parents at The Entrance, a regular holiday destination for the couple.
Nielsen said that she loves the fifties era, saying that she’s fond of popular items back then such as jukeboxes and milk bars to mention a few. She’s also an avid fan of actress Grace Kelly.
The designer said that her vintage swimsuits are supposed to target the younger generation but she said that she gets a lot of orders from older women.
Nielsen has been designing swimsuits for the past 15 years. She’s a former swimsuit model. She revealed that she just loves swimwear which makes her job easy.
