Model Gardelina Bautista in the TRIANGL Swimwear 'Heatwave' 2026 campaign
The now globally renowned bikini brand TRANGL was founded in 2012 by the Australian couple Erin Deering and Craig Ellis. The brand is considered a pioneer of influencer marketing and became famous for its colorful neoprene bikinis.
Model Gardelina Bautista is the current, beautiful face of Triangl's Summer 26 campaign. She was photographed by Gigi Hollanders on a beach in Doha.
"Ready for summer... sun-soaked moments, salty skin, and pure ease. Our model Gardelina captures the spirit of the season with natural confidence and fresh, radiant energy," says EAST WEST MODELS, Frankfurt am Main, about the campaign.
The beautiful Gardelina Bautista is an internationally sought-after model with German-Dominican roots. She is particularly known in the industry for her collaborations with brands such as Triangl, Mango, and Serrano 47. In addition to modeling, she is also active as a dancer and actress.
Triangl focused on social media from the very beginning, initially sending free bikinis to up-and-coming models and influencers like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, which sparked a massive hype. The company is headquartered in Jersey in the Channel Islands but is run by Australians. Triangl also sells its products exclusively through its own online shop to keep prices affordable (usually around €80-120 per set).
Following a personal separation, founder Erin Deering sold her company shares in 2018. She now works as a mentor, podcaster ("The Work"), and author. Her book "Hanging By A Thread" explores the downsides of her success. She also launched her new fashion brand, Deering, in September 2024.
Craig Ellis now lives in Monaco and continues to lead the Triangl Group as co-founder. They share custody of their two sons, Oscar and Oly. While the boys live with Erin in Australia, they spend their school holidays with Craig on the beach in Monaco.
