‘Sea’ or be seen at the upcoming Freestyle exhibition, featuring a vibrant selection of swimming apparel from woollen togs to the glamorous designs of today.
The iconic status of the swimsuit in the twenty-first century is a story of sport, sexuality and snubbing social conventions. It has emerged from the perception of first swimming and then sunbathing as healthy pursuits, from links with Hollywood and other worlds of glamour, and from the boundary-pushing of designers, marketers and wearers!
Risqué advertisements, the appeal of physical fitness, and visions of attractive bodies, social opportunities and poolside relaxations have lured generations of men and women into the aquatic fashions of their day.
Dive into Freestyle and discover a colourful collection of swimwear sure to inspire you for summer!
