12:02PM Clem Bastow | Jennifer Hawkins is evidently not content to simply travel the world with The Great Outdoors and walk the catwalks for Myer stores, now she is adding “
swimwear designer” to her resume, having pitched – successfully – to Myer to launch her own line of bikinis and other beachwear bits and pieces.
After all, if there’s one thing Hawkins is well versed in, its the swimwear section.
Marking her first foray into fashion design, Hawkins will star in her own parade when she models her “Cozi” creations at Myer’s Sydney City store on August 28.
It will be the culmination of more than six months of secretive, behind-the-scenes work for Hawkins and the Myer production team and the fulfillment of the former Miss Universe’s dream.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Telegraph, Hawkins said she was thrilled to finally be able to talk about her brainchild which was borne out of increasing frustration at trying to find the perfect bikini and an insatiable urge to tinker with designs currently on the market.
“I’m in a bikini a lot – I’m working in one,” she said.
Well, if Jennifer Hawkins can’t find the perfect bikini, the rest of us are stuffed, aren’t we!
As for “Cozi” itself, only time will tell if it will turn out to be the next MK&A The Row/Sean John/Love Kylie, or if it will be the next Dannii For Kmart/House Of Dereon/Richard Simmons Expandable Waist Workout Gear.
