I’ve just uploaded the Swimwear photos I took from the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival 2009. These were taken on Day 1 at Portside.

Some of the photos took a little editing to remove some of the shadowing caused by the harsh sunlight directly above.

Braving the cold winds which swept through the city on an unusually cold night for this time of year, Swimwear from Oz items were shown on the catwalk. The host of the night was David “Lutzy” Lutterall from Nova 106.9 FM, who showed keen support for the new swimwear label.

If you have seen some of the photos I did for Carly Faragher, you would recognise the model above, her name is Kristin Parkinson and she is a model for Vivien’s Models.

Marieke has set up an online store where you can purchase these items, support Australian fashion and check them out here – Swimwear from Oz.

Here is a photo of Marieke and myself. Secretely I wanted to challenge her to a dog paddle race at the pool… Where she dog paddles and I sprint down the side of the pool.. hold on.. I just saw her times for her backstroke, maybe she should dog paddle one handed haha.. Anyways in summary – Swimwear from Oz – it’s all in the name.
