In the 全体, 全体的です history of swimsuits, it seems almost strange that the bikini, a piece of swimwear デザイン that is so entrenched in our culture, should be less than 60 years old. From its introduction to the world in 1946, however, to the latest trends and designs of 2005, the bikini has made much of its brief, illustrious history.
While the two-piece 水着 we know of today as the bikini has only been marketed and sold as the “bikini” for 60 years, the fashion that inspired it is nearly as old as civilization itself. Years ago, archaeologists discovered Minoan ウォール paintings from 1600 B.C. and Roman mosaics from 300 A.D. that depict the bikini. Six years after the introduction of the bikini to the modern world, one Italian archaeologist was stunned to uncover ウォール paintings in the gymnasium of a traditional Sicilian 別荘, ヴィラ that portray eight female gymnasts in diaper-like panties and strapless, bandeau-style tops. Clearly, the history of the bikini begins much earlier than 1946. Still, it is the explosive, modern debut of the bikini in the 年 1946 and subsequent modifications of the bikini that truly define the 人気 two-piece swimsuit.
The bikini was invented and launched almost simultaneously によって two French fashion designers: Jacques Heim and Louis Reard. Heim was a 水着 designer who had created a two-piece suit to be sold in his ビーチ ショップ in Cannes. He marketed the 水着 as the “Atome,” (named for its small size and meant to be compared with the atom, the smallest particle of matter yet known). To market his new innovation, Heim hired skywriters to 広告 his new, scandalously tiny swimsuit.
The same summer of 1946 in which Heim was introducing his “Atome,” Louis Reard was creating his own similar, two-piece swimsuit. He named and marketed his 水着 as the bikini, proclaiming that it was “smaller than the smallest bathing suit in the world.” Reard christened his 水着 the bikini in honor of post-WWII, experimental atomic bombs being detonated in the South Pacific, near the Bikini Reef. The bikini 水着 was supposed to have caused the same earth-shattering reaction among those who viewed it as was inspired によって the rising キノコ clouds of atomic bombs. The bikini soon superseded the “Atome” as the official appellation of the two-piece swimsuit.
The bikini received its first official induction into swimwear fashion on July 5, 1946 when French model Micheline Bernardini paraded onto the 滑走路 in it at a poolside fashion 表示する in Paris. A number of American correspondents responsible for reporting the fashion 表示する were both shocked and titillated によって the model’s skimpy attire. While many Americans believed the bikini was simply too scandalous for virtuous American women to adopt, the bikini would make its debut into American fashion only one 年 later.
The original ビキニ of the 1940s and 1950s were fairly modest in their coverage, as compared to current standards. Bottoms were cut above the navel, and tops provided full coverage of the bust. Despite this rather modest beginning, the bikini would undergo several transformations as the decades progressed. Fashion designers practiced with many varieties and innovations for the swimsuit, including a bikini 上, ページのトップへ with attached propellers, a suit made entirely of red hair, and a rather discomforting version constructed of porcupine quills. In the 1940s and 1950s, the bikini was so small that it could easily be packed into a matchbook, but the suit would undergo even もっと見る drastic shrinkage as the years went on.
In the 1970s, following a shocking sexual revolution in the United States, fashion designers revamped the bikini to be even もっと見る revealing and titillating. The string ビキニ of the 1970s exposed the navel for the first time によって fitting the bottoms just on the hips. The 上, ページのトップへ left little to the imagination, providing only minimal bra-style coverage. In the 1980s, the 人気 トング, ひも bikini was introduced into American fashion. Fashion designers claimed the origin of the トング, ひも bikini to be from the traditional clothing of Amazonian tribal groups in Brazil. The トング, ひも bikini offered the scantiest coverage yet imagined in the rear of the suit.
In the 1990s and 2000s, fashion designers have continued to revamp the old bikini and have innovated new styles for the two-piece swimsuit. While the トング, ひも bikini and string bikini have only grown in popularity, the tankini has recently been added to the growing selection of bikini swimwear.
In its short, modern history of 60 years, the bikini has managed to repeatedly shock the world with its ever もっと見る revealing nature. Nonetheless, the history of the bikini is hardly finished. Fashion designers will, without a doubt, continue to experiment with the “smallest bathing suit in the world.”
