This bathing suit was on the runway for Lisa Blue Swimwear and the Hindu community bugged out! They believe the design was insulting and have protesting for 3 days by burning Australian flags. Lisa Blue went on to release an apology:
"This range will never be available for sale in any stockists or retail outlets anywhere in the world. We apologise to the Hindu community and take this matter very seriously.
We would like to offer an apology to anyone we may have offended and advise that the image of Goddess Lakshmi will not appear on any piece of Lisa Blue swimwear for the new season, with a halt put on all production of the new range and pieces shown on the runway from last week removed.
Lisa Blue has been born out of a love of conservation, spirituality and a respect for all people. At no time would we ever have intended that the brand would cause offence. The use of images of Goddess Lakshmi was not in any way a measure of calculated risk taking, simply it was a desire to celebrate different cultures and share that through our brand"
Honestly, i'd rock the shit outa that bathing suit, I think its FLY
