Nina Agdal, Beach Bunny Swimware shoot at Kanantik Reef & Jungle Resort, Belize - Unravel Travel TV

Sanctuary, Belize is the location for Nina Agdal modeling Beach Bunny Swimwear’s spring-summer 2014 collection. Nina Agdal (1992) is a Danish fashion model. She was one of three models to be featured on the cover of the 2014 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Agdal, who grew up in Hillerød, Denmark, has modeled for Billabong, Leonisa, Banana Moon Swimwear, Macy's, Frederick's of Hollywood, and Victoria's Secret. In 2012, she made her first appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and was subsequently named the issue's "Rookie of the Year." In 2014, she appeared on the 50th anniversary cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue with Chrissy Tiegen and Lily Aldridge. Agdal appeared in a 2013 Super Bowl television commercial for Carl's Jr./Hardee's, following in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian, Padma Lakshmi, Paris Hilton and fellow Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model Kate Upton.

You’ll find Beach Bunny Swimwear gracing the beautiful bodies of the world’s sexiest women. But if you want to find the woman who designed these drop-dead gorgeous suits, you’ll have to look inside her Orange County, CA office. There, behind the towering stacks of fabric swatches and hardware samples, founder and designer Angela Chittenden is hard at work on her next best-selling creation. Angela’s passion for couture kicked in at an early age. Angela’s all grown up now a mother of two daughters and four step-daughters ranging in ages between one and fifteen. But she’s managed to keep her spectacular figure and her sense of fun. Both of which inspired the launch of her breakthrough swimwear in 2004. Angela knew she wanted to create something different, something special, “something that would let women show off their bodies, feel sexy and confident, glamorous, flirty and fun all at the same time.” She searched for unique fabrics, experimented with sexy cuts, added embellishments and hardware no one had ever thought to add to swimsuits before. Rather than looking at other swimwear designer lines, she found inspiration in the bedroom, blending elements of upscale lingerie into her styles.

Angela’s boudoir-inspired lines were an instant hit with women looking for swimsuits that make a bold statement. By ignoring trends, Beach Bunny Swimwear started setting them. And grabbing the attention of the fashion, media and celebrity worlds. Sports Illustrated dedicated more pages of its Swimsuit issue to Beach Bunny Swimwear than any other line. Soon, iconic women from the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Fergie to Cheryl Tiegs and Cindy Crawford were hitting the beaches in Beach Bunny suits. And Angela found herself featured in a slew of media outlets including USA Today, Vogue, People, InStyle, E! and Extra. Not bad for a designer with no formal training just a serious passion for fun-loving swimwear hand-sewn in the good ol’ U.S.A.

Angela continues to find inspiration for her swimwear, not only from the people around her but from the places she visits. A voracious traveler, she’s always on the look out for textures, colors, tones, hardware and fabrics she can borrow for her designs. “I’m using the color of the bark of this incredible tree I saw in Belize for one suit,” she explains. “I just got back from Dubai, where we’ll be opening a new store, and fell in love with the beautiful jewel tones I found there. You’ll see that in the new line, too.” While always thinking about the next design, Angela is also thinking about the future of her company. With the opening of several retail stores in Los Angeles, Scottsdale, Miami Las Vegas and Dubai, Beach Bunny Swimwear is quickly becoming an international brand.
