The bikini is one of the most fashionable and possibly the shortest modes ever made! The bikini was launched to the public by Louis Rard and Jacques Heim in a 1946 fashion event. The model was so outrageous for the moment that only a naked performer might agree to model it!
Louis and Jaccques may have supposed the concept for the bikini was an unique one but in a fact it really wasn't such a new-found design at all. Very old Roman mosaics exist which display females in two-piece bra and panty shaped dresses that look surprisingly similar to the modern 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 when the first Bond girl, Ursula Andress, came dripping from the ocean in her tiny bikini to the appreciationof James Bond himself, the bikini was already one of the most popular modes in women's swimsuit. Diffidence be hanged . The bikini had caught on.
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!
Another variety of bikini contain a bandeau kind top that has a rectangular strip of fabric covering the breasts, one with a top similar to a push-up bra, and more simple bottom pieces such as briefs, shorts, or briefs with a tiny skirt attached. Up to date kinds include the tankini that has a tank top and the monokini, skimpy one-piece of clothing which resembles the bikini, leaving the midriff commonly bare. - 15343
