Australian swimwear label LunarSand was conceived, fittingly, on the iconic stretch of beach, the last frontier, Seal Rocks.

Birthed in 2015, the label grew from the concept of strength and energy, inspired by the moon and the earth. The epitome of wholeness and magic.

Ruby Licciardi is the iconic name behind the LunarSand label. She has been dubbed Australia’s hottest emerging swimwear designer.

The collections are quite simply ‘wearable art’ and the label renowned for its edgy, unique and feminine style.

Ruby says LunarSand “embraces the wild, creative energy synonymous with the LunarSand range and its devoted tribe of empowered goddesses”.

Ruby is well known for her vibrant, dynamic prints. Her specific talent is firmly augmented in garment and print engineering, allowing the pieces to perfectly sculpt and contour the female body. This creates perfect balance and visual rhythm.

LunarSand has released three collections to date.

Arch Empress, Ardent Sea and Felix. The Felix the Cat collection was the result of exclusive invitation by DreamWorks Pictures USA, The First Thread and The Design Residency.

Deliverance, launched in May 2017 will be available to purchase in October 2017.

Close your eyes. Breathe. Inhale the soft, cool air deep into your lungs. Spread your veiled wings, and soar!!!

Deliverance is a collection that lives for the golden hours. The dusk and the dawn. those delicious golden hours that are filled with lucidity.

Unified and connected by freedom of body and mind, Deliverance is sophisticated, powerful and sleek, possessing gritty undertones.

The colourways are deep and luxurious. Subtle and understated.

Accentuated by metallic trims, the subtle palette of nude, grey, black and white are complimented by dusty pinks, turquoise and forest greens.

The prints reference geometric ikats and cicada wings, creating diverse, varied, and flattering silhouettes which shine brightly and independently.

Deliverance embodies athleticism and inspires a contemporary and refreshing approach to the traditional bikini and one-piece.

Aqua Blu … Chase The Sun

May 19

This week is Mercedes Benz Fashion Week … quite simply, one of the most highly anticipated and loved weeks of my year.  This year Carriageworks is the chosen venue for MBFWA once again, and it is literally filled to the brim with fashion talent.  Naturally, in a country like Australia where our summers are long, our days hot, and our landscape fringed with the gorgeous white sands of the most beautiful beaches in the world, swimwear and resort wear is a very important cornerstone of the Australian fashion industry.  Later today, I will be attending the show simply named “SWIM”. Here is the story of Aqua Blu … Love Us & follow us on social media to show your support of these wonderful emerging designers … See live streaming of the show here… Instagram  & FB

Enjoy xx

What do you think of today’s street fashion?

AB

I believe today’s street fashion feels like a passing fad, I feel there is a lack of statement. Everyone wants to blend in rather than stand out.

LM

What advice would you give to aspiring fashion designers?

AB

It takes a lot of hard work, stick with it, don’t quit and always focus on your aesthetic vision.
