The bikini is one of the most famous and possibly the shortest fashions ever made! The bikini was introduced to the people by Louis Rard and Jacques Heim in a 1946 fashion fair. The model was so disgraceful for the moment that only a uncovered performer might approve to perform it!
Louis plus Jaccques may have supposed the inspiration for the bikini was a creative one although in a fact it really wasn't such a new-found idea at all. Early Roman mosaics exist that display women in two-piece bra and pantie shaped dresses which look surprisingly like the modern-day bikini.
According to somestories Rard and Heim named their new bathing suit a 'bikini' after the site of the recent nuclear weapons test atBikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. They thought the new bathing suit would have an "explosive" effect! They were certainly right about that!
By the 1960's as the first Bond girl, Ursula Andress, came drenched from the sea in her short bikini to the appreciationof James Bond himself, the bikini has become one of the most popular fashions in females' swimsuit. Diffidence be suspended. The bikini had raised in popularity.
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. - 16083
