Liz Hurley has built a career on provocative and sexy outfits (think Versace safety-pin dress) and she is now lending her sexiness to Mango. Liz, who says she never has enough bathing suits, is designing a fusion line of sexy swimwear for Mango.  “I met the Mangos at Valentino’s big party last summer,” she said during an interview with TimesOnline. “They said they loved my beachwear, so I drew [some designs] very badly. We did some fittings in Barcelona, then they sent a whole team to my house in the country for a ‘bikini fit’, which is the most extraordinary thing. ”

Hurley herself is apparently looking forward to the moment she never has to pose in a bikini again,  she stated, “I can’t think of anything worse in the world than another bikini shoot – and I’ve got two next month. It’s unbearable, and I bring it all on myself. I’ve got nobody else to blame. It’s literallah torture. If you get a photographer you don’t know, of course, you think, ‘Oh God.’ But if you signed on for the gig, sadly, you have to go and be jolly in a skimpy white bikini. So I now rely on nice photographers, and a bit of retouching.”
