Wicked Weasel
The fashion in the world of beach wear is pointing squarely towards a rise for the micro bikini. At the front of this movement are the Australian swimwear manufacturers Wicked Weasel. Their styles are gaining a lot of publicity not just in their home country – a paradise for beach bums as it is – but far and wide for their daring, titillating high cut bottoms and flattering tops. After all, if you are going to go for a two-piece swimsuit you might as well really go for it. Wicked Weasel has been enjoying a standing at the top of the charts for stylish micro bikinis for a decade and a half now. Everyone has got to love a label that doesn’t play it safe – and as the name suggests, Wicked Weasel always do it their way.
With an online presence since 1999, wickedweasel.com has done everything right in establishing itself as the most prominent micro bikini manufacturer not only in Australia but the wider world. Despite their name going worldwide as a provider of sexy swimwear, Wicked Weasel has managed to retain a strong identity as an independent business, manufacturing, distributing and carrying out all of the admin of a global company in one location at Byron Bay. This allows a level of personal service that you will have to look a long way to better in this world. An independent company requires an independent mind, and anyone looking at wickedweasel.com could not fail to pick up on their broad-minded design.
It is easy in this day and age to follow a fashion, but to be out in front setting the trend is a lot tougher, so props should be given when someone manages to do it so consistently and stylishly. Fifteen years is a lot of time to be at the top of a game, but if fatigue is setting in with these guys and gals they are not showing it. The 212 Floral Ink bikini, currently the signature outfit on the website, is daring, but actively begs to be worn simply because of its quality craftsmanship and luxurious lines. Meanwhile, if that is too safe for you, you may wish to wander into the 458 leopard print microminus bottom. It leaves precious little to the imagination – but that’s the point, after all.
If you are looking for something that you can wear to the beach without attracting much attention, then Wicked Weasel don’t have that much to offer you. Then again, what is the point of buying beachwear if you don’t want people to be looking at you. If they’re going to stare – and they will – then Wicked Weasel and you will give them something to look at. Classic patterns, classic styles, innovative design – it’s all on offer from the Wicked Weasel catalog. Check out the website, but don’t get too carried away – it would be easy to max out the credit card with the styles they carry. Sometimes less is more – but then, as a microkini fan, you knew that already.
