After reviewing this fabulous heidi klein bikini, I’m delighted to be able to bring you a little interview with co-founder Heidi Gosman. Seriously chic, this lady knows how to do beach glamour better than most… 

How do you get bikini ready?
I always exfoliate my entire body a couple of weeks before any trip to the beach. I apply lots of moisturiser to get my skin ready to glow and I then get a fake tan just before I leave, at the heidi klein Westbourne Grove store.

What are you holiday essentials on the fashion front?
Always a big brimmed hat (see the heidi klein large ribbon hat) – it will make you look great and it keeps sun completely off your face, completed with large sunglasses. I always pack a great pair of sandals (like the heidi klein ring sandals) – perfect from day to night on those hot nights. Finally, I will bring with me costume jewellery and, of course, lots of bikinis I can mix and match. To me, on holiday, it’s not about individual items; it’s how they work together that’s important.

And what would we find in your holiday beauty bag?  
Louise Galvanise packable shampoo (perfect for looking after sun-stressed locks!), Sisley fake tan, body exfoliator (I love Bamford botanic sugar polish) lip balm, St Barts sun lotion and St Barts roucou oil  – my absolute ” must have ” , great for skin, hair, nails.

Favourite beach holiday ever?  
That’s a hard one… the Maldives for the most beautiful sea /diving, St Tropez for the most fun and Ibiza for time with my family.

A big thank you to Heidi for her lovely answers. The latest heidi klein swimwear collection is gorgeous and now out – get a feel for it with this beautiful and seriously sun-dappled video below.
