First Bikini

First Bikini

1946

This photo is from 1946 when we see the first bikini in a photograph; French engineer introduced it in Paris Louis Réard and fashion designer Jacques Heim. While it still may have been a bit scandalous and forward, it just goes to show how drastically women’s swimwear had become. The fact that someone could have an idea to create such a article of clothing for women to be seen in public that leaves such little to the imagination shows the difference In thinking from only 20-30 years before that.
