Wednesday 11th May: Lazy Swim Club








To coincide with the celebrations of Carnaby Street last week, Lazy Oaf launched their Swimwear line at the flagship store on Ganton Street.  It's their first dip into beach-wear but hotly anticipated since the body-suits from the Garfield collaboration last year.  Trademark Lazy Oaf details are across the styles with illustrated hands and faces as motifs and trimmings.  Tops and bottoms are sold separately so you can buy a watermelon crop top to match your existing archive water-melon skirts.  There's even a watermelon print bucket-hat to keep shady for your bucket and spade, sand-castle beach excavations.   My favourite piece from the collection is the cloud sky pattern towel which is going to be my Summer staple to take-over as the seasonal exchange from the previous cloud puffa jacket of the Winter blues........

Thursday 11th June: "Riviera Style" at The Fashion & Textiles Museum











Before you start your Summer holiday swimwear search, sail down to Bermondsey for the "Riviera Style" show at The Fashion & Textiles Museum.  It's a complete history of the story with a bonus extra exhibition curated by Amber Jane Butchart to coincide with her new book "Nautical Chic".  Here are a few shots of my personal highlights from the displays and snaps of Amber's beautiful hard back anthology.  Whatever era is your favourite time in vintage styles, both of these records are a complimentary chart of the evolution in Oceania trends.  I'm in love with the 60's shapes - the Rudi Gernrich onsie is an unrivalled classic!
