Australian model Jessica Hart and best friend Jessica Gomes are the leading ladies of the Mambo Goddess 2012 campaign. Featuring Mambo's vibrantly printed bikinis and beachwear, the campaign was photographed by Jason Lerace and styled by Imogene Barron.
The Mambo Goddess 2012 collection presents fun and hip beach attire centered on three fashion themes: Tropicana, Aqueous and Tribal Illusions. According to SassiSam, the Tropicana theme rests on vintage inspiration, such as balconette bras and a '50s pin-up look, featuring resort prints that "tell a story of exotic trips away." Aqueous, on the other hand, is all about dreaminess, with soft colors and prints that look as if they have been submerged in water. Finally, Tribal Illusions offers an edgier 'wild' look, featuring knot detailing, straps and cool cross-hatch prints.
