  Hi Zoe,
  i love your bikini’s, where can I buy them?

• 2. Zoe  |  November 10th, 2008 at 2:31 pm

  Hi Chloe!

  You can buy them online at www.zoeelizabeth.com.au or at numerous boutiques around Australia. Chamber Maid in High Street Armadale stocks the biggest range, hope that helps xo

  Hi Zoe,

  do any tips for a guy who wants to buy a nice bikini for his girlfriends this xmas? i dont know where to start or what design to get! she is slim build, which colours are popular for this season?

  Hi Kevin,

  Tips for xmas, I think you definately have to go for a bright print as they always look flattering against either tanned or fair skinned gals. If she is a slim build most styles will suit, another thing that also works really well for gifts is if you get the bottoms embroidered with there initials… she will love you forever!

  Hi Zoe,

  Your stuff is really hot and how great must it be making a living as a bikini designer!!!?? (Envy!)

  Do you design anything else or what made you focus on just bikinis?

  How many bikinis do you privately own and which one is your fav? Bx

  Good Morning Nikki!

  It is a lot of fun making a living as a bikini designer, I have recently designed a range of resort wear to go back with the bikinis such as maxi dresses, shirt dresses, shorts and shirts which look great either worn casually with denim or the full look worn over the bikinis. Next year I am doing a range of gingham, polka dots and strips which is exciting…

  Heya Zoe,

  Lurv your work!

  any suggestions n pointers from ur ‘real world life of fashion industry” for people thinking of starting their own business /fashion label?

  Hi B,

  My private bikini collection is growing quite large I just can’t resist buying vintage bikinis when I fin them as they are quite hard to find… so far I probably have around 20 pairs!!

• 10. Zoe  |  November 14th, 2008 at 1:41 pm

  Suggestions for people starting out is do a lot of research before you throw yourself in. Start small and slowly grow the business to make sure you don’t fall into debt, I did quite a bit of work experience in different areas of the fashion industry before I decided designing was what I wanted to do….

  Beach or pool?

  Hi Zoe,

  Do you need to hit the books to become a bikini designer? Also, how do you find competing to big labels with huge marketing budgets but also celebrities coming up with their own brands?

  Keep it up, girlfriend!!

• 13. Zoe  |  November 18th, 2008 at 12:02 pm

  BEACH!!!! defiantly, if its not windy…

• 14. Zoe  |  November 18th, 2008 at 12:09 pm

  Hi Mischa,

  I don’t think you have to go to uni to be successful in the Fashion industry. I think you need a certain amount of flair and be self motivated…I think that applies in any business! Competing with big labels is tough you just have to find your niche and stick to it… I think that it is very important to spend money on PR and marketing as that is how people will remember the brand for years to come. All I can say is that I wish I was a celebrity as that would make life a lot easier!! xo

  heya Zoe, ive notice many Europeon women wear high heels with bikinis, think if I did it at Bondi beach I would get dirty looks…..

  think it will ever catch on in Australia? can you suggest footwear this summer

• 16. Luke  |  November 20th, 2008 at 10:55 pm

  Hi Zoe - im trying to impress on my new lady and take her on a seaside brunch. got any tips of which beach to take her in syd? im new in town and i know this is not the place for dating tips but you seem to be right gal to ask! hope you can help Luke

• 17. Zoe  |  November 24th, 2008 at 12:36 pm

  I personally think a heels look great with swimmers however its just not practical and I don’t think I could get away with it here! I wish it would catch on… other options include tan wrap around thongs, jelly babies, ballet flats or jeweled thongs x

  Hi Luke! I love a beachside date but I am not from Sydney so I am not sure where the good date places are…. all I know is that palm beach sounds lovely x
