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 and Jaccques may have imagined the concept for the bikini was an original one however in a fact it really wasn't such an original concept at all. Early Roman mosaics exist that show women in two-piece bra plus panty shaped costumes which seem surprisingly similar to the modern-day bikini.
According to several stories Rard plus Heim named their brand new bathing suit a 'bikini' after the spot of the latest nuclear weapons test at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. They assumed the original bathing suit would have an "explosive" result! They were surely true about that!
By the1960's when the first Bond girl,Ursula Andress,came dripping from the ocean in her teeny tiny bikini to the appreciation of James Bond himself,the bikini was already one of the most popular styles in women's swimwear. Modesty be hanged! The bikini had caught on.
These days on coast and by swimming pools worldwide you will see a brand of bikinis. The thing which began it all in 1946 was truly one of the most 'revealing'. It was a string bikini, with triangles of fabric covering the breasts and genitals also only strings making up the rest. Many string bikinis also offer coverage of the buttocks, since the 1946 one did not. No surprise back so they thought it was shameful!
Another model of bikini contain a bandeau model top that has a rectangular strip of fabric covering up the breasts, one with a top like a push-up bra, and more modest bottom pieces like briefs, shorts, or briefs with a tiny skirt attached. Up to date styles consist of the tankini that has a tank top plus the monokini, meager one-piece garment which resembles the bikini, leaving the midriff mostly bare.
