High Waisted Bikini

Bikinis in the past

In Paris, where a poolside fashion show was held, bikinis made their first debut. When the bikinis first come into the fashion world, the French models were shocked and taken aback at the revealing cuts that it had and this was in 1946. The French automotive mechanical engineer who was running his mother’s lingerie at the time (Louis Reard) noticed that women on their beaches had to roll the edges of the swimsuits to get a tan. He, therefore, thought to create a minimal design to what they were formally wearing. Therefore the first design he made exposed the navel and this was the string bikini. He made the first design out of the inspiration he got from a newspaper pattern. The regular models did not want to wear them. He, therefore, had to choose Micheline Bernardini, a 19-year-old nude dancer. The design was introduced to the public on 5th July 1946. Before this, the 4th century had Roman gymnasts wearing bikini bottoms and anklets that will suffice for our current attire on many beaches now. In the 20th century there existed what was called the bathing machine. The women at the time went to great lengths to conceal themselves. They wore the bathing suits under their fully donned clothes. When they wanted to swim, they will go into these carts and be pushed to the seaside and then take a swim in the sea without being observed from the shore by anybody.

The decades following that saw a loosening up on the dress code for swimwear. Actually, the high waisted bikini, we can say was introduced at this point, because it concealed the navel, hips and the bottom of the ladies who wore them. But later on, it came back to sheer clothing. When famous actresses and model began to wear them, their fame began to spread like wildfire. American, Brazilians, Latinos and the rest of the world begun to catch up with the bikini.
