L.A. Fashion Weekend kicked off at Sunset Gower Studios Friday night with an opening performance by Christina Milian, who also debuted her line of sunglasses. Fashion lovers gathered around the runway to watch bikini bodies debut lines by a.Che, Kooey and Teeki.

Teeki surprised the audience by having a beautiful young girl grace the runway wearing a bright yellow two piece bikini.
What surprised us about Teeki was the fact that the “bikinis are made with real water bottles.” Designer Lindsay Hemric noted that her bikinis are eco-friendly and don’t sag when wet. Hemric said it took trial and error to discover that recycled water bottles worked perfectly. She tried bamboo but the fabric was too flexible. Teeki bikinis are available at http://www.teekilove.com where bottoms and tops both sell for $50 each. A few of our favorite looks are featured below:
