There’s a good chance that right at this very moment, you have a tab open with an item you’re thinking about buying from THE ICONIC.
It’s Australia’s largest online retailer, and for many of us, is one of the first places we think to google when we need (or want) something new to wear.
On Thursday night, THE ICONIC launched its Swim 2018 collection with their annual Swim Show.
Led by Aussie supermodel and activist Robyn Lawley and the world’s first plus size male model Zach Miko, 40 models ranging from women’s sizes 8-18 and men’s 28-42 walked down the runway in 2018 summer swimwear trends.
Think high cut swimwear in strong prints and clashing colours, pastels, flueros and technicolor hues, deep navys and bright ocean blues and leopard and snake skin animal print.
Side note – you can listen to Robyn speak about why she took a stand against Victoria’s Secret in her No Filter interview below. Post continues after audio.
Aside from the swimwear, one thing from the show has stuck with me. I can’t stop thinking about it.
There were no ‘Instagram bodies’ to be found. Not a single one.
Instagram bodies – physically fit, curvy but not too much and only in the ‘right places, tanned, filtered and sometimes altered – are bodies too. There’s nothing wrong with having an Instagram body, just as there’s nothing wrong with my body or your body.
