A number of eclectic — and questionable — pieces and trends have emerged from fashion weeks around the world over the years. Some of the most recent looks from a swim show during Australian Fashion Week certainly stood out because of an unusual accessory that was featured on the runway.
Patterned
bikinis, bandeau tops with high-waisted bottoms, and one-pieces
featuring cutouts, among other styles, were paired with swim floaties
during the presentation at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Wednesday in
Sydney.

Most
of the arm floaties matched the swimsuits the models were sporting.
While many different accessories have been paired with swimwear on the
runway, the arm floats were an interesting — and humorous — addition to
the show.

presentation. Considering many swimwear presentations usually just
feature models sporting swim caps, it was definitely a unique method by
the designer to generate some buzz around the looks.

Celebrities
and models like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Lea Michele,
and Shay Mitchell have all been spotted in Duskii, although sans swim
floats. With such a popular fanbase, it’s likely that the brand can get
away with experimenting with different pieces on the runway — no matter
how ridiculous the floaties might look.
