The Bermudian magazine has been showcasing fashion since the 1930s, when the pages of “The Fashion Parade” showed elegant ladies modelling winter wool coats and tweed suits accessorized with an ever-present lit cigarette. Cashmere twin sets in the 1950s gave way to mod shifts in the 1960s, and big hair and broad shoulders were the height of fashion in the 1980s. In this gallery we present the best—and worst—styles found over the past 80 years. read more

Famous visitors to Bermuda date back to Princess Louise, whose visits in the late 1800s helped promote Bermuda as a tourist destination. By the time The Bermudian was founded in 1930, tourism was well underway, and the magazine, designed to appeal to the sensibilities of American readers, was distributed in the U.S. by the Trade Development Board’s New York office. Famous Americans from the worlds of cinema, literature, politics and science were drawn to Bermuda as the playground for the rich, and The Bermudian was there to capture the moment. From Albert Einstein and James Thurber to Shirley Temple and Walt Disney, we feature some of the many famous faces who visited Bermuda over the years. read more
