Meet the next wave of Australian swimwear designers
After making a statement at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week, a new guard of swimwear creators is ready to make a splash.
Liandra Gaykamangu is an unlikely swimwear designer. The Yolngu woman from north-east Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory can’t actually wear swimmers in front of men, due to the cultural rules of her community. Not that this has stopped her.
“When I’m home it’s quite conservative,” says Gaykamangu. “I’m never at the main beach in a bikini, that’s for sure. When I’m with my sisters and nieces, it’s fine. I don’t think about it that much, to be honest.”
