The Evolution of Women Bikini
Online, August 11, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The women bikini is a two-piece bathing suit that covers a woman's breasts, groin and buttocks area. Bearing a resemblance of a woman's underwear, bikini's origin dates back to about 280 AD, mosaics on the floor in Silicy illustrate women wearing garments resembling to a modern bikini. In 1913, the first two piece bathing suit for women was produced. Carl Jentzen, who was excited about the inclusion of women in the Olympic swimming, made a short sleeve top and shorts. The swimwear design was popularized by actresses Esther Williams, Ava Gardner and Lana Turner.
The introduction of women bikini in 1947 in France was not well-accepted by the then conservative society. Louis Reard, who coined the term bikini, designed the bikini bottom as a g-string and it was seen as aggressive. Only the posh European women were willing to use his design. In the Fifties, when celebrities such as Brigitte Bardot, Anita Ekberg and Sophia Lauren wore bikinis that it became widely accepted. In the movie Dr No (1962), Ursula Andress wore a white bikini and it was the start of the increasing appearance of women bikini on and off the screen.
Today, the women bikini has become synonymous to beach and a lot of bikini types were made available in the market. It ranges from the conservative tankini, to the string bikini, provocative skimpy microkini and even the emergence of a topless bikini known as unikini or monokini.
