Haute-Couture Swimwear for Kings
In a bold statement of fine art, fashion and photography, Australian artist King for a Day previews extraordinary new project TRUNKS; an unique collection of bespoke-designed, handcrafted and limited-edition men’s swimwear created exclusively for confident kings.
Designed in the stunning Whitsunday Islands and drawing broad inspiration from the breathtaking beauty of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, King for a Day TRUNKS are manufactured and finished in Melbourne. Captured daringly through the artist’s lens, each garment existing as part of a strictly limited-edition collection of four singular designs. Reserved for confident kings and discerning collectors.

King for a Day navigates the charged intersection of masculinity and commercialism, dissolving boundaries between artistic freedom and aesthetic design, between utilitarian function and personal expression. The TRUNKS collection challenges traditional notions of marketing and modelling, recasting swimwear as wearable works of art whilst reclaiming male nudity as a demonstration power and vulnerability.
TRUNKS are worn with distinction on location by exclusive models Juan, Seb, Noah and Erik on the sun-drenched sands of the Gold Coast, as well as by model Adam for the TRUNKS Campaign photoshoot in Melbourne, Australia. Through the lenses of art, fashion and photography, King for a Day TRUNKS emerges as a celebration of rarity, virility and the evolving aesthetic of the male form.
