LAST week Patreece Botheras was doing the school run on Sydney’s northern beaches. This week she’s flying the flag for Australian fashion at the world’s biggest swimwear show in Miami.

The Duskii founder was the only Aussie at MiamiSwim, the Paris Fashion Week of swimwear, where she wowed big American department stores like Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales and British online powerhouse ASOS.

Duskii’s unique neoprene creations were designed to fill a void in the market for cossies that provide support and comfort for women without sacrificing fashion.

They have already become the go-to for some of the world’s top models, including Victoria’s Secret glamour Karlie Kloss, who picked up a pair of the cossies during a recent visit and was soon hitting Instagram to give her seal of approval — a valuable unsolicited endorsement that saw immediate returns.

The “fashionable yet functional” swimmers have also become a favourite of celebrities such
as Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Lea Michele.

“I pinch myself because I just think ‘did that really just happen? Did that person really put on a suit that I created?’” Botheras said.
