Fed: Extended caption for AAP's Picture of the day

A model showcases designs by Australian swimwear designer Seafolly during the 2009
Sydney Fashion Festival on Tuesday, Aug 18, 2009. The bikini brand has declared swimwear
"recession resistant" with the unveiling of its new summer collection of bright and playful
bikinis. Seafolly managing director Anthony Halas said their business had doubled over
the past three years, claiming a 35 per cent market share in Australia, as well as exporting
to about 40 countries. "It's a low value luxury item, it's an easy way for people to feel
good about themselves buying a $100 swimsuit."
