Launching Leesa Fogarty launches new luxury collection Forget skimpy swimsuits, Paris-based Australian Swimwear Designer Leesa Fogarty closed Sarajevo Fashion Week with the launch of her new luxury collection "LeesaLu", proving that hour-glass curves are back! This limited edition designer collection fits the all-in-one gymwear, swimwear, eveningwear requirements of the international girl, with classic cuts taking us back to the glamour of the fifties screen sirens. LeesaLu features pieces that can be worn both during the day and in the evening, with a bold color palette of navy, black, white, red and purple. Fogarty’s latest creation is elaborated with delicate French lace embellishments, matching legless tights and handbags. Marine striped details and blanket stitch feature as a tribute to Australia's 2007 Year of the Surflifesaver. Bold belts were used to accentuate the classic hourglass look in blue leather, cream and black with bright berets and turbans adorning the models. The show opened with Leesa’s MaraJoara transeasonal collection of bright Brazilian basics on models of all shapes and sizes with mixed and matched pieces under bright colored footless tights for those young girls wanting to take the beach to the pavement. MaraJoara Men were not forgotten with classic black, white and grey blanket stitched unitards and basic marine inspired euro style pants. Leesa’s models, of all different shapes and sizes, included 2007 FTV model of the Year Delila Softic, Bosnia Miss World winners, Bosnia Top Models of the Year and other Balcan beauties.Leesa Fogarty is the Australian finalist who took on the world against nine international designers on December 4th at the 2007 Pernod Fashion Awards.
