Bikini babe: Whitney Port dazzled in a black and white bikini in Miami on Sunday - she is in town for the Art Basel event 

Whitney recently shared some information about her start in the fashion industry during a Linkedin Discussion.

She might be excitedly planning her upcoming nuptials to fiancé Tim Rosenman, but fashion designer Whitney Port spent the day sunning herself on Sunday. 

The former The City star looked incredible in a black and white string bikini which had tie sides and a triangle-shaped top - shielding her eyes from the sunshine with a pair of sunglasses.

The 29-year-old is in town for the annual modern and contemporary art show Art Basel - and wore her hair wet and slicked back after taking advantage of the surf.

She said: 'You have to start somewhere. I was working in God-knows-where California, doing the littlest things, like counting the 246 rhinestones that needed to go on the back pockets of jeans.'

Meawhile, busy planning her big day, Whitney has been tweeting new ideas on tweeting new ideas on Wednesdays with the hashtag #whitsweddingwednesday.
