Etymology

The term 'bikini' originated in 1946 and was named after the Bikini Atoll, where atomic bomb tests were conducted. The swimsuit design was introduced by French designer Louis Rรฉard, who sought to create a daring and revealing outfit that would capture public attention. Prior to the bikini, swimwear trends were characterized by more modest, one-piece designs. The radical nature of the bikini sparked controversy and debate about women's clothing, body image, and sexuality at the time. Despite initial resistance, the bikini gained popularity throughout the 1950s and 1960s, becoming a symbol of liberation and modernity in women's fashion. Over the decades, the bikini has evolved and diversified, incorporating various styles, patterns, and materials, making it a staple of summer attire and beach culture worldwide.
