'The suit I fell hardest for, though, is a one-piece from the Australian label Ephemera, founded by Saint Laurent alum Nicole Banning.'

Ephemera turns ‘the notion of a 'boring' one piece on its head, with chic cut-outs and intricate design details that flatter in all the right places.’

'Banning approaches swimwear with a ready-to-wear point of view and executes her minimalist designs to the same standards as high-end clothing. The resulting suits feel like the sorts of items one can wear — and look fresh and stylish in — for years.'

‘These are pieces designed to be cherished forever.’

'Nicole Banning was walking the cobbled streets of Paris and longing for the beaches of her hometown of Sydney when she first dreamt up the idea for Ephemera: a minimalist swimwear brand with a focus on great fit and quality material.'

'After three years in Paris, Banning has a distinctly European design ethos that is mirrored in the finished product.'
