New Collaboration ~ for Rhiannan Iffland & Budgy Smuggler

I was so excited when Rhiannan Iffland, 12 x cliff diving world champion asked me to collaborate with her on her swim design for November’s Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series at Sydney Harbour. 

Rhi's energy is so contagious - I leave with sore cheeks from laughing so hard everytime we're together. I have loved every minute of working on this with her.

When Rhi first asked me to create a design for her I just felt I had to have a bird in it - refelctive of Rhi's ability to soar through the air from 20m high into the ocean. We chatted about this and then Rhi mentioned that her grandfather used to call her bluebird. So special! From there I developed the artwork.

A bluebird soaring through the sky, with the ocean below. Stars coming out of the wings like rockets, representing the way Rhi soars through the sky at crazy speeds. Naturally I also wanted to incorporate a sun in there as she is literally a ray of sunshine! There is also a tiny ladybug on the wing of the birds ~ Rhi's good luck charm.
