Kimberley Garner showcased a skimpy yellow bikini from her own collection as she enjoyed a day at the beach in Ibiza on Tuesday. The 35-year-old swimwear designer was seen swimming, spending time on the shore, and laughing with a friend on a jetty during the outing.
Displaying a bronzed physique and washboard abs, Garner wore her wet, blonde hair slicked back from her face while relaxing in the sun. The television personality proved to be her own best advertisement as she demonstrated the stylish two-piece design from her fashion label.
Ibiza, an island located in the Mediterranean Sea off the eastern coast of Spain, is internationally renowned for its beaches and summer resorts. The popular holiday destination provided the backdrop for Garner's latest beach appearance as she enjoyed time in the water.
Garner first launched her swimwear business, Sunday Swimwear, in 2013, one year after joining the cast for the third season of Made In Chelsea in 2012. The E4 reality television series follows the lives of affluent young people in West London, providing a platform that helped launch Garner's career in fashion and design.
Fake intern role launched fashion empire
Despite building a flourishing label over the past decade, Garner previously disclosed that she pretended to be an intern when launching her initial business because prospective clients failed to take her seriously. She explained that she created her very first enterprise at the age of 18 after teaching herself how to register a company.
"I think people sometimes think that I'm only the face, but I am responsible for every bit of the business," Garner previously told the Daily Mail. "I was 18 when I started my first company, I came up with an idea, stayed up for days learning how to register the company and teaching myself. It became very successful overnight."
Garner recalled that her young age and appearance led industry contacts to doubt her executive status. "However, as I was only 18, no one ever imagined it was mine. I was a young blonde girl with a soft voice. No one would take me seriously or realise it was my company. So, I pretended to be the intern!" she said.
"I handled all the meetings, phone calls, and emails for the company. When it became a success, I put all the revenues into starting Kimberley London," Garner added, explaining how her early business strategy funded the creation of her subsequent swimwear line.
Maldives romance inspires unisex collection
The Ibiza trip comes after Garner shared updates regarding her personal life earlier in the year. In February, the designer revealed that she was in a new relationship after sharing a social media video of herself locked in a passionate kiss with a mystery partner on a beach in the Maldives, an archipelagic nation in the Indian Ocean.
Garner, who previously dated trader William Claeyssens de Tena, chose not to publicly name her new partner. However, she confirmed that their relationship had directly influenced the expansion of her swimwear label, which recently launched a new menswear line following a rebranding to Sunday.
"I am in a new relationship but it's early days. We met through friends over the summer and we started dating three months ago," Garner told the Daily Mail at the time, noting that her boyfriend had already brought positive changes to her life.
The designer explained that her boyfriend's enthusiasm for her creations inspired her to introduce matching male attire alongside female swimwear. "It's like a his-and-her concept. It's a cute, fun thing to do. My boyfriend loves wearing the designs," Garner said of the rebranded unisex collection.
