There are stamp collectors and teacup collectors, purveyors of rare books, and connoisseurs of vintage shawls, but there can be no doubt what Kendall Jenner has a particular penchant for: ʙικιɴιs, great and small (more often small). Some are from tiny independent British labels, and others from the corners of designer archives, but there certainly are a lot of them. From the teeny tiny, to the tank, her collection is enviable to say the least.
Jenner’s latest, a retro-style seersucker number, is by the Hattie Tennant and Minna Bunting-founded British brand Fruity Booty, which aims “to create underwear for women and not for the male gaze”, as they told British Vogue. Cheery, and perfect for spring—and the heart detail on the straps adds just the right touch of feminine kitsch.
Another stand-out ʙικιɴι moment from the model of late? A matching Jean Paul Gaultier dress and two-piece, swirled in sunset-splashed psychedelia, pulled from the brand’s spring/summer 2000 collection. Other favourites from Jenner’s swimsuit wardrobe? A sunshiney string number from Australian label Sommer Swim (worn, inventively, with a cropped cherry cardigan), a pink floral ʙικιɴι from Frankies Bikinis (part of Gigi’s Hadid’s collaboration with the brand), and a paisley printed set from American label Heavy Manners.
