Synopsis

Curated by Beverley Birks, this exhibition about the history of swimwear explores the changing societal perceptions surrounding a clothing type which has perhaps undergone the most radical transformation over the course of the 20th century, owing to the liberation of the female body. The converging social, economic and cultural trends that changed the status of Western women has witnessed a tumultuous history in the evolution of standards of beauty, feminine empowerment and the proliferation of eating disorders. Besides many examples from the collection, texts by Birks and José María Unsain Azpiroz present a fascinating account of swimwear in all its forms.
