The bikini is one of the most trendy and probably the shortest fashions ever made! The bikini was launched to the people by Louis Rard plus Jacques Heim in a 1946 fashion extravaganza. The model was so shameful for the times that only a naked performer might approve to perform it!
Louis and Jaccques may have thought the idea for the bikini wasan original one butin fact it really wasn't such a new idea at all.Ancient Roman mosaics exist which show women in two-piece bra and pantieshaped costumes that look surprisingly like the modern-day bikini.
According to some stories Rard and Heim called their brand new bathing suit a 'bikini' after the place of the recent nuclear weapons try at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. They supposed the newborn bathing suit would have an "explosive" result! They were surely right about that!
By the 1960's since the first Bond girl, Ursula Andress, came drenched from the ocean in her teeny bikini to the appreciationof James Bond himself, the bikini has become one of the most well-known modes in women's swimwear. Modesty be hanged . The bikini had caught on.
These days on beaches and by pools in the whole world you will find a variety of bikinis. The one which started it all in 1946 was actually one of the most 'revealing'. It was a string bikini, with triangles of fabric covering the breasts and genitals and also only strings making up the rest. Lots of string bikinis also offer coverage of the butts, once the 1946 one did not. No doubt back so they felt it was outrageous!
Another variety of bikini consist of a bandeau model top which has a rectangular strip of fabric covering the breasts, one with a top like a push-up bra, and more modest bottom pieces like briefs, shorts, or briefs with a miniskirt attached. Current styles include the tankini that has a tank top and the monokini, skimpy one-piece garment which resembles the bikini, leaving the midriff typically bare. - 17943
