SARAJEVO, Bosnia (November 12,2007) - Australian designer Leesa Fogarty has received rave reviews for her latest MaraJoara swimwear collection at Sarajevo Fashion Week.
The Sydney based designer was featured as a VIP Guest Designer at the showcase of eastern European fashion this week. The parade featured three Miss World Bosnia's, the FTV Model of the World and Bosnia top models.
Fogarty caused controversy last year when she refused to sack MaraJoara’s size 8 to 12 models after allegedly being told by Australian Fashion Week organisers the girls were "too fat" for the catwalk.
While one fashion magazine deleted their coverage of the MaraJoara show, Fogarty's decision received international applause for promoting a healty body image. Fogarty was quickly inundated with fan mail from the Austrlain public, letters from buyers demanding to stock the range and invitations to Fashion Week parades around the world.
