Modeling swimwear comes second nature to Sports Illustrated and Beach Bunny supermodel Kate Upton, so it was only a matter of time before she went behind the camera to create her own sexy designs. Kate Upton joins California based Beach Bunny to design suits that represent her fun and flirty personality. The first release of the label, “Kate Upton for Beach Bunny” is scheduled to launch on Beach Bunny Swimwear’s website and retail stores early 2012, however fans can get a sneak peak of her designs at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim this July as bikini clad Kate struts down the runway at the designer’s show.
Kate created two styles for her upcoming collection which includes sexy and modern cuts reflecting Beach Bunny's brand aesthetic fused with Kate’s vivacious personality.“Beach Bunny is my favorite swimsuit line out there and to be able to design for them is a dream come true,” says Kate. “I love all the embellishments and especially the lingerie details because they make you feel so sexy.”
Kate is no stranger to Beach Bunny. She first caught designer Angela Chittenden’s eye as a Guess girl and has since been the face of Beach Bunny’s many campaigns including the latest Beach Bunny Bride, an exclusive bridal swimwear collection and the label's new ready to wear line. Kate Upton exploded into the scene this year after she landed the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue with fellow Beach Bunny supermodelIrina Shayk. She was recently named Esquire’s Woman of the Year and has shot for countless publications. Kate has also worked with photographers Ellen Von Unwerth, Yu Tsai, Raphael Mazzucco, and Stewart Shining.
“We are thrilled about the design collaboration with Kate Upton and know this is a very exciting time for her career. She is sexy, yet confident and her fun loving and down to earth personality are traits that represent the Beach Bunny woman and brand as a whole.” I can’t wait to see how this year unfolds!” says Beach Bunny CEO and designer Angela Chittenden.
If Kate’s designs are any reflection of her thriving career, her suits are sure to cause a swimming sensation.
