Vintage Swimwear chronicles the evolution of the swimsuit in all its various incarnations over the last century, from woollen one-piece swimsuits in the 1910s to the corseted costumes worn by 1930s Hollywood screen sirens, and from the invention of the bikini right through to the use of latex, lycra and other hi-tech fabrics in today's designs. Whilst it might seem like an unusual subject to buy a book on for anyone other than the most enthusiastic fashionistas and vintage obsessives, Vintage Swimwear actually does a lot more than it says on the tin. Gorgeously illustrated throughout with fashion photography and archive memorabilia from manufacturers, models and designers, they combine to form a fascinating isight into the the way fashion – viewed by so many as superficial and fickle – can be a barometer of its social and cultural context, our developing obsessions and lifestyle trends.Designed by Matharoo Associates, this beautiful curtain door was created for the diamond merchant’s residence in Surat, India.
