As a more alternative girl, I really find it difficult to find clothing in South Africa that fits my style and makes me simply “have to have it” (cue the kuugel accent).

You just have to go online to see that there are so many international brands which fit this description. The problem? I’m not comfortable shopping online so all this browsing only makes me really jealous!

However, there’s now a glimmer of hope for those of us with a sexy and funky side…

69Slam is a swimwear and underwear brand from Australia that has landed in SA. The brand is huge worldwide but of course, we’re one of the last countries to get it. I’m just so happy that it’s finally here!

You can see from the picture that the collection is made up of funky prints, bright colours and unique styles. I can also personally tell you that the pieces also have an extremely sexy fit!

The brand was officially launched this past Friday at Outer Limits restaurant in Broadacres, Johannesburg. I was involved in the fashion show that was held to showcase the collection to the public.

The venue was fully kitted out in 69 style and the models not only looked the part, but fitted the brand to the T.

The fashion show was a success and the crowd were literally pushing to get right up next to the stage. The support was amazing!

Check out the behind the scenes footage of me and the other models in some of the outfits and tell me what you think?
