The Birth of The Bikini
The bikini is one of the most popular and possibly the smallest fashions ever created! The bikini was introduced to the public by Louis Reard and Jacques Heim in a 1946 fashion show. The design was so scandalous for the times that only a nude dancer would agree to model it!
Louis and Jaccques may have thought the idea for the bikini was an original one but in fact it really wasn't such a new idea at all. Ancient Roman mosaics exist which show women in two-piece bra and pantie shaped costumes that look surprisingly like the modern-day bikini.
According to some stories Reard and Heim named their new bathing suit a 'bikini' after the site of the recent nuclear weapons test at Bikini 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 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.
Today on beaches and by pools 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 a string 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 include the tankini which has a tank top and the monokini, skimpy one-piece garment that resembles the bikini, leaving the midriff mostly bare.
