Inclusive by Design
KRISBEESis designed for men, women and everyone. Not as an afterthought. Not as arainbow slapped on for a season. Inclusivity sits at the cutting table from thebeginning.
SWIMWEAR FOR EVERY BODY,EVERY STORY, EVERY BEACH
KRISBEES is the swimwear sub-brand from Kris Bee Bacon, created for the people who were tired of swimwear that only seemed to celebrate one kind of body.
We make bold, Australian-made swimwear for men, women and everyone. For pool parties, pride weekends, resort escapes, beach days, chosen family holidays, and that glorious moment when you decide the towel is coming off.
Made in Australia. Made for confidence. Made for everyone.
The Story
WE DIDN’T WANT TO MAKE “GAYSWIMWEAR.” WE WANTED TO MAKE SWIMWEAR FOR EVERYONE.
KRISBEES was born from the Kris Bee Bacon universe: a loud, cheeky, queer-led fashion house built around humour, pride, community and clothes that actually
understand the bodies wearing them.
For too long, swimwear has been served in tiny little boxes. Men over here. Women over there. One body type in the campaign. One idea of sexy. One idea of summer.
We thought: absolutely not.
KRISBEES is for the bears, the babes, the femmes, the mascs, the theys,
the gays, the girls, the boys, the in-betweens, the beyonds, and the “I just
want something that fits and makes me feel amazing” crowd.
It is swimwear with room. Room for curves, bellies, bulges, softness, muscle, scars,
stretch marks, tattoos, glitter, attitude and joy.
Made Right Here in Australia
PROUDLY MADE IN AUSTRALIA
KRISBEES swimwear is proudly Made in Australia, with local design, local pattern-making and local production at the heart of the range.
That means we are not just printing pride on fabric and throwing it out there. We are building garments with intention: the fit, the cut, the finish, the feel, the way it moves, and the way it makes you stand a little taller when you put it on.
Every piece is part of our bigger commitment to Australian-made fashion, quality manufacturing and keeping creative production close to home.
Australian-Made
Designed and produced locally with care, craft and community behind the seams.
Locally Developed Fits
Created with real people, real bodies and real feedback in mind.
Quality First
Built for pool days, beach days, pride days and everything that happens after sunset.
Designed for Men, Women and Everyone
ALL BODIES. ALL SHAPES. ALL SUNSHINE.
KRISBEES is not interested in telling you what kind of body belongs in swimwear.
You do.
Our range includes statement swimwear, swim shorts, G-Swim styles, kimonos, kaftans, sarongs and resort-ready pieces designed to move between pool, beach, party and parade.
Some people want coverage. Some want less. Some want flow. Some want cling. Some want loud prints. Some want the kind of swimwear that enters the room three seconds before they do.
So we make options.
Not because inclusivity is a trend, but because bodies are not a trend.
The Blak Bubul Collaboration
BUBBLES OF LOVE: KRISBEES xWIRADJURI WAVE / BLAK BUBUL
One of the most powerful KRISBEES stories is our collaboration with Wiradjuri Wave / Blak Bubul.
The Bubbles of Love collection brings together swimwear, culture, humour, pride and body confidence through artwork created with First Nations Australian artist Peta-Joy.
This collaboration celebrates visibility, self-expression and love without apology. It is playful, proud and deeply connected to identity, with artwork that
carries meaning beyond the garment.
It is not just something to wear.
It is something to stand in.

Why KRISBEES Exists
WHY SHOULD ONE KIND OF BODYHAVE ALL THE FUN?
Swimwear can be vulnerable. It can also be powerful.
KRISBEES exists for the moment between those two things: when you stop adjusting, stop hiding, stop shrinking, and start enjoying the sun on your skin.
We make swimwear for people who have been told to cover up, tone it down, fit in, pick a side, or wait until they look a certain way before they are allowed to feel confident.
No thanks.
Wear the print. Take the photo. Jump in the pool. Walk across the sand like you own a small coastal kingdom.
This is KRISBEES.
Swimwear for everyone. Made in Australia. Worn with pride.
READY TO MAKE A SPLASH?
From bold swimwear to resort pieces and official artist collabs, KRISBEES is made for bodies that refuse to apologise for taking up space.
