Kim Kardashian is expanding her business empire with a brand new swimsuit line for Beach Bunny Swimwear, a preview of which she has just posted on her official webpage.

Wearing a very convincing blonde wig and flashing flatboard abs, in one pic, Kim is seen modeling a gorgeous two-piece white swimsuit, teamed with knee-high peep-toe boots.

And it gets even better: the shoot was inspired by the iconic Barbarella, which, of course, more than justifies E! Online concluding that space just got way hotter.

“My brand new swimwear collection for Beach Bunny Swimwear is now available!!!” Kim gushes on her webpage, through which she keeps in close contact to her millions of fans from all over the world.

“My Divinity Collection was inspired by Jane Fonda in the movie Barbarella, where she plays a super-sci-fi-[hot] Queen of the Galaxy!” the reality star and fashion designer further reveals.

The entire line was created with the sole purpose of making women feel utterly glamorous even if they’re practically nude, Kim explains.

To achieve that, she has used several combinations and lots of the items that are trendiest right now, like animal print and shimmery fabrics.

“This collection incorporates everything I love in a bikini… shimmer, animal print, side ties in the bottoms…” Kim explains in the same post on her webpage.

“I even designed a gorgeous chiffon tunic, because every girl needs a fab cover up for the beach. What do you guys think of the new collection?” the star asks.

Not at all surprisingly, reaction to the collection has been astounding, judging at least by the comments in the comments section to the aforementioned post.

While some can’t stop gawking at Kim’s incredibly toned body (the shoot was done this summer, when she reportedly was at her fittest to date), most fans also offer warm praises for the designs.
