Designer Diary: Lisa Marie Fernandez’s Postcard from Bali
Swimwear designer Lisa Marie Fernandez has had a love affair with Bali for 13 years, so to kick off 2013, she headed to the island for a little tropical R&R. Between swimming, sunbathing, and whitewater rafting, Fernandez documented her vacation in paradise. Below, she shares her images with Style.com.
I first visited Bali 13 years ago, and it was love at first sight. Every August, for a month, I would spend my holiday in Indonesia on the Hindu island. It has a magical energy. I wanted to begin 2013 with a group of close friends in a place that I loved. I began my stay at Villa Bella, my close friend Jane Corser’s home in Banjar Kuwum—a charming traditional village not too far from Seminyak in southern Bali. The town has great cafés, fantastic shopping, and bars if you fancy some trouble, but we mostly ate delicious Indonesian dinners at home with friends. We spent days on the beaches of the Bukit Peninsula. Eventually, we moved up north to Ubud, to the Como Shambhala Estate at Begawan Giri. Located on the Ayung River, there are five private residences nestled into the terrain, including the Tirta Ening Estate, where we stayed. One of my most memorable days was whitewater rafting on the Ayung through the mountains. There is no other place like Ubud on earth. This is truly heaven.
The most beautiful retreat in the world: Como Shambhala Estate at Begawan Giri. I stayed in the Tirta Ening Estate, which means “clear water.”
One night, fashion photographer Terry Tsiolis posed a group of my friends in the marble bathtub at Como Shambhala for a quick fashion shoot. Everyone wore my collection.

In The Swim: Laure Heriard Dubreuil at Miami Swim Week
The Webster founder Laure Heriard Dubreuil returned to Miami last week for Mercedes-Benz Swim fashion week. Between parties at her store, shows by the beach, and laps in the pool, she found time to send back a few snapshots from her trip.
After a stormy flight from New York, I finally got back to the Sunshine State for Mercedes-Benz Swim fashion week. I started the first official day with an early a.m. swim in the Soho House pool—swimming like a shark around the runway in the middle of the pool! Afterward, I joined Mary Kate Steinmiller and Jade Frampton at the Raleigh Hotel for the Mercedes-Benz Bespoke event, where we made jewelry from Mercedes-Benz leather. I kept the piece Mary Kate made for sale at The Webster!
After a very busy day, I went full-on Swim week look for the Vogue and Clarins party at The Webster: a Theyskens’ Theory mermaid-inspired dress and Charlotte Olympia aqua fish-skin pumps. I was so happy to see all of my swimwear designer friends like Lisa Marie Fernandez, Yodit Eklund of Bantu Wax, and Tori Praver. Once the event was over, I met up with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West at the Delano Beach Club Midori Beachside Bash, where Kim was having her portrait painted live in front of the crowd.
