A retrospective exhibition dedicated to the work of Lea Gottlieb, co-founder of Gottex, an international leader in swimwear design based in Israel. The extensive research I have conducted for my MA thesis paper “What’s Under Your Pareo: Unravelling the History of Gottex Beachwear,” provided the curator Ayala Raz and myself the basis on which this exhibition was organized. The exhibition includes stunning examples from Gottex’s hay-day during the 1990s and showcases Lea Gottlieb’s unique design methods.
