In this episode we welcome Mandy Nugent, owner of Black Ice Bikinis.
Having almost a decade's experience in creating bespoke bikinis for athletes competing at amateur and professional levels in the sport, we couldn't wait to pick her brains about curating the perfect stage.
In this episode we cover:
- Mandy's experience in the sport and the creation of Black Ice Bikinis;
- The development of the stage look; what's changed and how has the design and presentation in the bikini class evolved over the years;
- Getting your look right; colours, fits, considerations depending on the federation you chose to compete with, cross-federation tips and tricks when it comes to picking your suit;
- Suit do's and don'ts; tips for budget management, second hand and rental suits and what to look out for if you are opting against a custom made suit;
- Bikini care and how to prepare for an emergency;
...and so much more!
If you are heading into your first season as a competitive athlete, or if you are looking to perfect your stage look, this one is worth a listen.
