Encompassing a century's worth of fashions - including the jet-set resort sytles of 1920s Europe, the glamour looks of 1930s Hollywood screen sirens and carefree Californian beach life in the 1950s and 1960s - Vintage Swimwear shows how the swimsuit has undergone transformations in line with our developing obsessions and lifestyle trends. A glorious, glossy guide to the swimsuit in all it incarnations, the book heralds the arrival of this once-practical garment into mainstream fashion.
