Legacy take history and breathes new life into it. This whole collection is a tribute to 19th Century European design, whether it is sculpture, interior decoration or art. In the Victorian period, European artists feverishly collected exotic art from around the world, such as the Near East, Egypt and in particular China. The blue and white of this swimsuit captures the iconic look of Chinese ceramics, including floral motifs that were so very popular at the time. When these works of art came to Europe, they were blended with the continental European traditions to create amazing furniture, screens, cabinets and pottery, all of which were hallmarks of a new tradition and era of design. Today, this style is instantly recognisable as part of Europe's wider culture, and Gottex have revived it for the modern world. Not only has the pattern and colour scheme been revived for the modern world, but also the gorgeous and imperial inspired cut and fit of Ancient China's clothing. Like a formal robe or dress, this blouse has a sharp collar, solid vertical lines and much more courtly appearance. An amazing slice of history for your swimwear wardrobe.
