What to wear on the beach has always been a enigmatic fashion dilemma:opt for a swimming costume and miss out on valuable vitamin D; choose a bikini and risk a burnt stomach (or adopt a full on Nigella Lawson Burkini and frolic to your hearts content).
Whilst modern day brands provide plenty of options, a new show at the Fashion and Textile museum will uncover how the past century of beach goers have dealt with this perpetual beach fashion crisis. 
From the late Victorian era onwards, the exhibition will give special focus to the fabrics of beach wear, how textiles play an important role in balancing  practicality and style to optimise the movement of the avid swimmer. 
Riviera Style is just one the new exhibitions at the Fashion and Textile museum, and we're also excited for RAYNE shoes for stars. Don't miss a summer exhibition in London that will provide ample inspiration for holiday clothes, visit now.

  • Texas Joe's Smoked Meats

    Joe takes his meats extremely seriously, which is important, as this is one of the most uncompromisingly carnivorous places that we’ve visited in a while. Beef brisket, mutton, pork and chicken all feature on the menu in various guises, smoked and seasoned to perfection.

  • Londrino

    This is Portuguese food but not how we know it. Inventive technique -- such as fermenting and pickling – with truly brilliant seafood and much use of British ingredients, makes for a true and unmissable gastronomic experience.

  • Pique Nique

    Pique-Nique is the sibling restaurant to Bermondsey Street's traditional French bistro Casse-Croûte. We highly recommend the rotisserie Poulet de Bresse – a breed of chicken exclusively sourced from eastern France.
