The bikini is one of the most famous and maybe the shortest modes ever created! The bikini was familiarized to the people by Louis Rard plus Jacques Heim in a 1946 fashion show . The model was so outrageous for the times that only a exposed dancer would decide to model 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 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 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.
Now on seashores and by pools in the entire world you will see a version of bikinis. The thing that started it all in 1946 was actually one of the most 'revealing'. It was a string bikini, with triangles of fabric wrapping the breasts and genitals and also only strings making up the rest. Lots of string bikinis also present coverage of the butts, while the 1946 one did not. No wonder back then they considered it was shameful!
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. - 16755
