Understanding Bikini

By Dennis Durrel

The bikini is one of the most trendy and probably the smallest styles ever created! The bikini was launched to the public by Louis Rard plus Jacques Heim in a 1946 fashion fair. The design was very shameful for the times that only a uncovered performer could decide to model it!

Louis and Jaccques may have supposed the concept for the bikini was an innovative one although in a fact it actually wasn't such a new design at all. Primeval Roman mosaics exist that demonstrate women in two-piece bra plus panty shaped set of clothes which seem shockingly like the modern bikini.

According to several stories Rard plus Heim called their newborn bathing suit a 'bikini' after the place of the recent nuclear weapons try at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. They believed the brand new bathing outfit would have an "explosive" effect ! They were surely 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.

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 include a bandeau style top that has a rectangular strip of fabric covering the breasts, one with a top like a push-up bra, and more ordinary bottom parts such as briefs, shorts, or briefs with a small skirt attached. Modern types contain the tankini which has a tank top and the monokini, meager one-piece of clothing that looks like the bikini, leaving the midriff ordinarily bare.
