Along with finding the perfect pair of jeans, swimwear shopping can be tricky and if you’re anything like me, i.e. obsessed with bikinis you’ll only want to be seen in the most flattering design for your shape.

Luxe swim and beachwear label Zeki have put together some great tips to help you find that perfect swimsuit or bikini.

Curve Control: A winner to balance large hips and hide an ab-less tummy – the belted swimsuit. (Black belted swimsuit.)

Skinny – boyish silhoutte: A bold detail such a ruffles or frills will divert the attention from your short legs or torso.

Petite: A deep plunging neckline is your best ally!

Tall: If you have a long body shape, bright colous and cut-out pieces will suit your perfectly.

Balanced shape: Having even sized shoulders and hips allow you to wear anything (luck you) but a bikini or monokini is advised to enhance your figure.

Zeki swimwear starts from £120 and is also stocked in Harrods of London.

Remember: Having a bikini body is as simple and choosing the right swimwear design!

The Design Museum is to host the first ever UK retrospective of iconic French shoe designer Christian Louboutin from 28th MARCH – 1 JULY 2012.

This exhibition will celebrate Louboutin’s career to date and will showcase twenty years of designs and inspiration, revealing the artistry and theatricality of his shoe design from stilettos to lace-up boots, studded sneakers and bejewelled pumps. Louboutin’s shoes are the epitome of style, glamour, power, femininity and elegance.

A dramatic exhibition environment will present Louboutin’s artistic personality and creative approach. It will examine the many sources of his creativity, shoes inspired by performance, cabaret and the showgirl; fantasy and fairy tale; art and architecture; film; landscape and travel. The exhibition will also focus on the handcrafted shoe, one-off designs which incorporate his highly innovative ideas, forms and materials. There will be a special section dedicated to the shoes designed for ‘Fetish’ an exhibition at the La Gallerie Du Passage, Paris in 2007, a unique collaboration of photography between Louboutin and acclaimed artist David Lynch.

At the core of the exhibition will be a unique exploration of Louboutin’s design process, taking the visitor through every stage of the design journey, revealing how a shoe is constructed, from the initial drawing and first prototype through to production in the factory. Looking beyond design and production the exhibition will also explore the company’s innovative store design in which Louboutin is always closely involved.
