Let us introduce you to the women blazing a trail in the dynamic ecosystem of fashion, through their lens. We have been diving into the world of swimwear for almost 50 years. Here are the Byron locals that embrace the feminine, adventurous and the Australian lifestyle synonymous with Seafolly.
Drawing on familiar Byron scenes to create a sense of endless summer and effortless femininity season after season, we introduce Lisa Danielle. Lisa takes our bestselling MedusaHi Rise Bikini Pant paired with the specialty fit DD Tank Bralette to the sea. A favourite for its textured fabrication inspired by the goddess herself, Medusa showcases two block colourways, Saffron and Black. Although not initially designed as maternity swimwear, the supportive tank and figure flattering hi rise pant were the perfect beach accessory for Lisa’s baby bump.
A master of the art of style, new mum Saasha Burns invites our Active collection swimwear and Loungewear clothing collections to her tranquil, beachside home. Saasha embraces life at home in our Holiday Short Sleeve Sweater and ventures to the beach as restrictions lift, in our Active One Shoulder One Piece. Designed with endless support in mind, this style is sure to give you confidence on the sand and in the waves.
Pilates has been one of our favorite type of workouts for years. It mainly focuses on toning, strengthening, lengthening, and leaning the muscles. The workout itself feels incredible and the results? Well, let us tell you, this is pretty much all we do.
Our love for pilates got to another level when we met Sydney based instructor Jacqui Kingswell, founder of The Pilates Class! Jacqui’s unique approach really focuses on technique, making our time on the mat so much more effective. It’s the reason why we’ve seen better results in less time than with our other workouts.
Jacqui has become our absolute go-to pilates instructor and we swear by her classes. We train with her on a regular basis and when we have a big swimwear photoshoot coming up she gets us whipped into shape and she does it quick. The beautiful thing about training with Jacqui is you actually look forward to your workout. Her energy is feminine and calm yet uplifting and her classes are hard but not impossible.
We are beyond excited to announce the launch of her new subscription based online pilates platform, The Pilates Class . Here you can gain access to an array of classes taught by Jacqui for all different levels and individuals. These are the same workouts and classes we do with Jacqui and some of our favorites are the Essentials, Barre, Goals and Stretch classes. She even has curated classes for pre and post natal women. If you haven’t tried pilates we urge you to give The Pilates Class a shot. We can honestly say that our bodies are in the best shape they’ve ever been and we have Jacqui and The Pilates Class to thank for that.

We kicked off the Runway Show weekend with a brunch celebration at the Paraiso Bungalow. Collaborating with Australian skincare brand, Dr Roebucks and JNSQ Wines, the Monday Swimwear x Dr Roebucks brunch brought together top influencers, models, editors and friends for a beautiful morning with some powerful babes. We sipped on rosé, ate some delicious food and enjoyed the beautiful setting that Paraiso created for our stunning brunch.
After the brunch the Monday Swimwear team and our squad of gorgeous models headed straight to the runway tent for rehearsal and to start hair and makeup for the show!
The Monday Swimwear 2019 Runway Show was presented for the second year in a row at Parasio Miami Beach! This collection was deeply personal to us and was inspired by the women closest to us, the women we admire everyday. Women who are captivating, complex, elegant, bold and completely their own.
This collection started with with wanting to tell their stories. Before we even knew what the suits would look like, we knew the women they would represent. Every collection we create is a representation of the women who inspire us. With every piece, our aim is to find the balance between dreamy and sensible. Pieces that capture the happiness and lightness felt after a beach day.
For this show we wanted to bring our audience an immersive exploration of the unique feeling that comes from being inspired by the women around you. We hope that our followers and audience shared in our vision and felt the allure of inspiration after watching our show.
After the show we held our after party at our favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Miami, Byblos! If you follow us you’ll know that we can’t come to Miami without going to Byblos and have been going there for years!! We celebrated over delicious food and wine with our incredible Monday Swimwear team and friends!
A special thanks to one of our amazing sponsors Bali Body for keeping us tan and glowy throughout our most important week of the year! We’ve been working with Bali Body for a while now and their products are truly one of the best in the tanning / self tanning game.
We have been traveling with Revolve for years now and every time they invite us on another #REVOLVEAroundTheWorld trip we scream a little inside with excitement because we know it’s going to be even better than the last. How do they do it you may ask? How do they continue to top the previous trips? Well, the answer is that their marketing team members are masterminds with impeccable taste.
Cuixmala is easily one of our new favorite places in the world. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen and is so visually pleasing, it is any creatives dream destination. The eco friendly resort is very exclusive and you must be invited to be allowed to come. In true Revolve style, they rented out the entire property for the month of July for #REVOLVESummer.

Paraiso offers so many amazing things including a retail-focused pop-up up, which is this beautiful double decor structure, called the Paraiso Bungalow, invites all residents and visitors of Miami Beach and all of South Florida to come and explore the different activations, resort wear, swim, beauty, wellness and culinary.

Bali is a place of true serenity. There’s something special about the energy of the island and it’s beautiful warm hearted people that keeps us coming back year after year. It is a place you can soul search and find yourself by embracing the spirituality of the island. Bali has always been somewhere we love to come back to because there is so much to do and something for everyone. From exploring beautiful temples, seeing local wildlife, shopping, surfing, or just relaxing poolside, Bali has it all.
When booking our trip to Bali we decided to contact our favorite Luxury travel agency, The Luxe Nomad. They are notorious for having the most stunning and impressive villas around the world and the selection they have in Bali is the best. Their concierge service set us up with the perfect Bali itinerary that did not disappoint.
2 days at One Eleven in Seminyak (not booked through The Luxe Nomad)
The Ungasan:
This resort is breathtaking to say the least. It’s panoramic ocean views, infinity pools, amazing beach club (Sunday’s Beach Club) and luxurious spa are just a few of the amazing things that The Ungasan has to offer. This is one of those resorts we will dream about coming back to over and over. If you’re looking for somewhere to get that perfect instagram shot, this place ticks all the boxes. We were lucky enough to spilt our time here between two of their most beautiful villas. We started at Villa Nora and finished at Villa Jamandara.
Villa Melissa:
This stunning hidden gem in Canggu is fit for a queen. The five bedroom villa sits right on the beach so you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. It’s picturesque decor is a combination of modern and traditional balinese style which works beautifully well together. Our favorite part about this villa was most definitely the stunning pool and outdoor area. Villa Melissa comes staffed with a butler, housekeeping service, gardener, two chefs, and 24-hour security.
One Eleven
One eleven in Seminyak has been one of our favorite villas in Bali for over 6 years now. It is one of those places that the second you walk in, you feel happy and relaxed. It is right in the center of busy Seminyak and it feels like a hidden oasis because it is so calm and tranquil. Not to mention the villas all have their own private pools, open concept lounge rooms and kitchens and big bathtubs. We always highly recommend it to anyone that asks us about Bali.

Happiness means… Love and life to me
