Seventh Wonderland is a new luxury swim wear line based in Australia.  Designed by couple Bonnie Coumbe and Carlos Aviles, the two creat high-end swim suits that are so beautiful, you can incorparate them into your non-swimming ensembles.  Carlos states:  “Girls today need options, so we’re designing fashion-savvy swimsuits that can be worn to the beach, music festivals or on a balmy night in your favorite pair of jeans.”   

Seventh Wonderland uses luxurious fabrics, including silk, to craft these very special pieces.  The details are endless with beading here, ruffles there, and the silhouettes are unique but beautiful (not “unique” in a freakish way or for the sake of it).  Some of the details seemed very Art Deco to me, especially the diamond beaded insets on the bikini tops.  The cuts are feminine and flattering:  They’re not too bare on the booty, but show enough so that you can “shake what ya’ mama gave ya.”    I also have to add that the Look Book is brilliantly shot.  The models have a Robert Palmer girl look to them with slicked back hair and dramatic make-up and they were shot in front of mirrors so that you could get the front and back view in one frame.   Check out more pictures after the jump.
