The face behind Bikinis By Eva
From Gym Enthusiast to Bikini Artist
My name is Ieva Zubkevice and my fitness journey began at the age of 13, when I stepped into the gym, inspired by my father. Raised in a small town in Lithuania, I initially pursued a dream for Law studies, but destiny led me to the United Kingdom for seven transformative years. It was there that I began training more consistently, fueling my passion for fitness and setting the foundation for my journey as a bikini artist.
A Life-Changing Pivot
At the age of 20, the loss of my father prompted a reevaluation of my life choices, leading me to shift from Law to becoming a certified Personal Trainer & Nutritionist. At 22, I made a successful mark at the UKBFF. Over four years, I competed in 13 shows, securing the title of UKBFF British Champion 2016 and a notable 4th place at Arnolds Classic 2016.
The Birth of Bikinis By Eva
Post my first competition season in 2015, dissatisfaction with ordered bikini prompted me to create my own fitness competition suit. Drawing on a lifelong passion for crafts and arts, I proudly wore my first hand-stitched bikini at the Arnold Classic Europe, unknowingly setting my future for crafting suits not just for friends but for a growing international audience. In 2021, I questioned, “When, if not now?” Bikinis By Eva transformed into a full-time venture, proving that when passion becomes your work, it’s life’s greatest gift.
Empowering Confidence on Stage
Every bikini should reflect a woman’s unique personality and character, unlocking her inner power and potential. My mission is to create authentic designs that empower women to feel confident, elegant, and radiant with charisma and femininity. I believe the right bikini can transform and elevate any stage presence. Bikinis By Eva is trusted by both first-timers, European and World’s Champions, and even Olympia competitors such as IFBB PRO Wellness Dainora Dvarionaite.
Strive for your best, stand out, and honor your unique journey. The stage is yours to own, and your success is within reach.
