Tammy Hembrow’s most recent Instagram post, in which she published a photo of herself in a suggestive bikini, elicited conflicting views. Hembrow, known for her large social media following and polarising personality, appeared to be wearing a Minimale Animale bikini with minimum coverage that blended with her shape. Detractors called the bikini “unwearable” and likened it to “a piece of floss.”
Despite the outrage, many supporters came out to support Hembrow. The bikini is part of a partnership between her and the company, which will be launched soon. Hembrow emphasised her excitement for the launch in her article, writing, “Tammy Hembrow x the Minimale Animale EUPHORIA launches tomorrow.”
Critics, however, pointed out a potential flaw in the bikini: it cannot be returned due to its intimate fit. This guideline encourages customers to be very cautious while choosing their size. Furthermore, the scandal has prompted a broader debate regarding the practicality of high-fashion swimwear vs everyday wearability.
While some praise the bold design for its aesthetic appeal, others question the practicality of such items for frequent beach or pool use. This argument highlights the persistent conflict between fashion-forward trends and customer expectations for comfort and functionality in swimwear.
