Celia Birtwell to create swimwear line for Marie Curie Cancer Care

roxanneswimathon.jpgA swimathon may seem like a word you haven't heard or used since you were in school but it might be something you want to get involved in for 2008. This year, the event is raising money for Marie Curie Cancer Care and they have called upon the help of amazing textiles designer Celia Birtwell to create some chic swimwear.

Birtwell, who is most famous for her work with legendary '60s/'70s designer Ossie Clark, is to create a 30-piece collection of swimwear in support of the event. We can't wait to see what she designs. This year's Swimathon is fronted by Hollyoaks star Roxanne McKee (pictured). It will run from 17 - 20 April 2008, at 500 pools across the UK.

I used to own an Ossie Clark dress in 1972 - and was wondering if Celia Birtwell can help me provide the same material to re-create the dress. Please help me - I have a photo of the dress and me wearing it. Thank you
