A swimsuit with swagger

MEGAN DAVIS, THE designer and brains behind local swimwear range Ellenny Swim has poured a lifetime of passion into her range of bikinis and one-pieces.

After launching the line online in 2019, she decided to branch out into a brick-and-mortar presence behind Hood Street in Subiaco, which opened in October 2022.

The idea behind Ellenny was born from Megan’s own search for comfortable and sun-smart swimwear.

“After years of wearing badly-fitting swimwear, I created my range for women and girls that looks stylish and is sun-safe, eco-friendly, and flattering for all sizes,” she says.

It’s an ethos that manages to create a fusion between sun-safe swimwear and a fashion statement pool-side. So you’ll find a sexy ‘v’- shaped front with a zipper and a high back to protect the skin from damaging rays.

Using innovative Italian-made regenerated nylon (made from recycled fishing nets infact), the range offers the highest rating of UPF50+ and extra coverage and body support.

“Ellenny Swim is very inclusive and fits many different sizes and shapes,” Megan says. “Because women’s swimwear needs are always changing, I am always thinking about innovative shapes and body support when designing. I know what women want, and it’s the very cornerstone of everything we do at Ellenny Swim.”

We’re pleased to be able to inform you that Ben Tui, after presiding over a grand opening of his Asian-inspired eatery in December, ain’t going anywhere.

In fact, things are going so well that he is already planning to extend the dining area with a second private dining room arriving in the next few months. When can we book? Ask Beverage Manager, Phil Webber. He has all the answers.
