A different fashion exhibition opens its doors in London
The splash exhibition! Curated by Amber Butchart, a fashion and design historian, known for her appearances in the BBC One’s The Great British Sewing Bee series, begins on March 28 and will last as in August at the Design Museum in London.
This great exhibition has been celebrating our incessant love for water over the last 100 years and explores the full range of swimming design – from athletic performance and fashion to architecture.
The exhibition is divided into three sections that reflect the three main spaces where we swim – the pool, the bath and the nature.
The story of the exhibition begins in the 1920s, when swimsuits began to be designed for real swimming and not just for a bath, as Victorians preferred.
It was the time when the beach vacation became extremely popular. From there, the narrative reaches the present, exploring the role of swimming in modern life, the way it affects our perception of body autonomy, and its connection to environmental issues.
Visitors will discover over 200 exhibits that reflect the development of swimming in its social, cultural, technological and environmental framework.
Among them will be the legendary red swimsuit of Pamela Anderson of Baywatch, the first gold Olympic medal in individual swimming that won a British athlete and an impressive collection of men’s 80s men’s speeds.
It will also exhibit the forbidden Lzr Racer, one of the oldest surviving bikini and a detailed architectural model of the London Liquid Center for the 2012 Olympic Games, designed by Zaha Hadid.
