A Swimshop Swimwear review
Often when we talk about swimwear, we really mean the sort of stuff we wear for topping up our tans on the beach – i.e. something skimpy, pretty, and not really suitable for swimming in at all. If you are looking for swimwear this year that is actually fit for the purpose it was named for – i.e swimming, then Swimshop is the place you should be turning to. Here there is a great range of swimwear that looks good, but is substantial enough for doing lengths at your local pool.

Gudrun Sjoden – taking inspiration from the Far East
This Spring, Scandinavian fashion legend Gudrun Sjoden is taking her inspiration from Far Eastern travels, with collections inspired by Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan and China. With new Spring/Summer campaign imagery chocked full of beautiful settings and gloriously colourful clothing, this might just be Gudrun’s best ever work. Gudrun’s collections are based on great quality cotton and organic fabric, beautiful prints taking inspiration from a wide variety of settings and sources, and wonderful use of colour that reflects the vibrant nature of the designer herself. I adore the styling for the campaigns, it is always a little bit wild and avant garde, with clashing colours and prints thrown together…
