The Bottom Line
July 13, 2016
Conservative Kiwis still love the bikini
Starfish Swimwear, our own bespoke bikini and swimwear maker, is back in business and opening a new Christchurch store to coincide with this month’s 70th anniversary of the Bikini.
Tracey Christian, owner of Starfish Swimwear says “when you compare the type of bikinis worn on New Zealand beaches with what you see overseas, we’re a conservative bunch who prefer to show less rather than more, but we still love bikinis.”
“I think women should be proud of their bodies, but because a bikini is basically underwear worn in public, you really do need to feel comfortable in it.”
Closed following the Christchurch earthquakes Starfish Swimwear has reopened with a new store at 239c Colombo Street making tailored swimwear for women of all ages, shapes and sizes.
“Kiwi girls often don’t want to wear a really skimpy bikini and it’s a matter of doing something that suits the kiwi figure,” says Tracey.
Bottom line, “whether you’re conservative or not the bikini is here to stay.”
