Our newest active collection, Peach! So much love and passion went into this collection from designs, samples and shoot!
What is your favourite Lahana Style and why?
My favourite style at the moment is the classic Archer Bikers x Tyler Crop in white. I love this combo as it is so easy to style in your day to day get up. Pair it with an open button, oversized shirt, and for me platform sandals (I am shorty), gold jewellery, and it's a straight-up casual but bouje vibe.

I highly recommend Bam Bam Bakehouse. It’s located in Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast and its the perfect place to start your mornings before heading down to Burleigh beach. I tend to do this on my weekends with my friends.
What is your favourite Lahana Style and why?
My fave Lahana style is the ’Tullie Bottoms’ and the ‘Freja Top’ in Red. I’m a sucker for high waisted bottoms and that the underwire for the top. The fit is so flattering on and you can’t go wrong having a Red Bikini in your swim collection. But if red isn’t your style, there are other colours to choose from.
Size?

Instagram is basically an online portfolio these days so utilise that to your advantage and post all your creative work online! Network, engage and support other like-minded creatives in the industry (in-person and on socials) and apply for internships! Internships are a great way to gain real-world experience. Also, know your worth, trust in your creative ability and dream biiiiig!

The books In the Flo by Alissa Vitti. It's how to bio-hack for women based on our natural monthly cycle. My other fav is "Make It Happen" by Jordanna Levin.
Netflix Show: Surviving Death. I found this so so intriguing!

Digital Marketer & Ecommerce Coordinator
What do you love most about your job?
The environment at our HQ and the people I work with
What advice would you give to someone trying to get into a role like yours?
It’s a tough job to get straight into without any experience as University and Tafe are probably outdated in terms of what they teach. The industry changes so quickly that unless you are in it and working with it every day, you will get left behind. The best advice is probably to ask a large brand to intern with or apply for a job with a digital marketing agency as they will educate and train you at the same time. Also, listen to a lot of podcasts and watch a lot of youtube videos on repeat.

What is your role at Lahana?
I am the head photographer! I look after the campaign shoots for both swim and active.
What advice would you give to someone trying to get into a role like yours?
Firstly I would say go buy a camera and don't expect to know what you are doing straight away, it takes time to work it all out... which surprised me because I thought I could do it straight away... and do as many photoshoots as possible. Be a YES person and don't compare yourself to anyone....Go to all the networking events... make yourself known. Submit your work to as many magazines as you can think of. Just put yourself out there no matter how hard it is.
What is your favourite Lahana Style and why?
My all-time fave Lahana style would be the all the leopard in the minimal range it's such a vibe... probs the most flattering print on a bikini I have ever seen - you need to make men's boardies with that print, unfortunately, the bikinis don't fit me too well haha.
