The bikini isone of the mostpopularandpossibly the smallest fashions ever created!The bikini was introduced to the public by Louis Rard and Jacques Heim in a 1946 fashion show. The design was so scandalous for the times that only a nude dancerwould agreeto model it!
Louis plus Jaccques may have thought the design for the bikini was a creative one although in a fact it actually wasn't such a new-found concept at all. Earliest Roman mosaics exist which show women in two-piece bra plus panty shaped outfits which seem shockingly like the current bikini.
Based on some stories Rard plus Heim called their new bathing outfit a 'bikini' after the site of the current nuclear weapons test at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. They believed the newborn bathing outfit could have an "explosive" result! They were surely accurate about that!
By the 1960's while the first Bond girl, Ursula Andress, came dripping wet from the sea in her tiny bikini to the appreciationof James Bond himself, the bikini has become one of the most well-known styles in females' swimsuit. Diffidence be hanged . The bikini had become popular.
Today onbeaches and bypools worldwide you can find a variety of bikinis. The one that started it all in 1946 was actually one of the most 'revealing'. It was astring bikini, with triangles of fabric covering the breasts and genitals and only strings making up the rest. Many string bikinis also offer coverage of the buttocks, though the 1946 one did not. No wonder back then they thought it was scandalous!
Other styles of bikini include a bandeau type top which has a rectangular strip of fabric covering the breasts, one with a top similar to a push-up bra, and more modest bottom pieces such as briefs, shorts, or briefs with a small skirt attached. Modern versions includethetankiniwhich has a tank top and the monokini, skimpy one-piece garment that resembles the bikini, leaving the midriff mostly bare. - 16004
