Splash! A Century of Swimming and Style at the Design Museum is examining design’s role in our relationship with swimming over the past 100 years, from the lido boom in the early 20th century right up to the mermaidcore trend of the 2020s. Over 200 objects will be on show at the exhibition, including Pamela Anderson’s iconic red swimsuit from Baywatch, one of the earliest surviving examples of the bikini, the banned ‘technical doping’ LZR Racer swimsuit, and a detailed model of the London Aquatics Centre designed for the 2012 Olympics by Zaha Hadid.
