What are bikini?

bikinis are two -piece women's swimsuits that resemble bras and panties in the form. Although Louis Réard and Jacques Heim designed the first swimsuit known as this name for the 1946 fashion show, the style precedes their design. Films and photographs from earlier 20th century show women in two -piece swimsuits and even exist even ancient Roman mosaics that have women who practice in costumes that are very similar to a modern suit.

There are many different bikinis styles. The one who officially made his debut in 1946 was chain bikini , with triangles of the fabric covering breasts and genitals, and the strings form the rest. Many of them also offer buttock coverage, although the 1946 not. Other styles include and Bandeau top-column strip of fabric covering the breast-horned part with cups similar to push-up bras and more modest lower pieces such as panties, short or panties with small skirt attached. More modern variant, tankini , includes Tank.

Réard and Heim named their new swimsuit after the bikini atoll on the Marshall Islands, on the site of a recent nuclear weapon test, referring to an "explosive" effect that would have a swimsuit. The design was so scandalous that only a naked dancer agreed to model his modeling. In the upcoming decades, however, it began to capture with the help of such film stars dressed in bikinis as Brigitte Bardot in 1956 and God created a woman and Ursula Andress as Bond Girl in 1962 No . In the sixties it was one of the most popular styles in women's swimsuits.

The newer type of women's swimwear inspired by bikinis is called monokini . The term is the game on the original name, because mono- means "one" and bi- means "two", although bikinis are named after the place and its journey actually does not mean "two" nothing. Monokini can be simplyThe lower part of the two -piece, which is worn alone for tanning tanning, or it can be a modest one -piece clothing that resembles bikinis, so the midriff mostly bare. The first monokini was designed in 1964 by Rudi Gernreich and left the bare breasts, although it provided significant coverage of the lower half of the fuselage.
