The Bikini Historical Evolution

Today's bikini has become the mainstay of swimsuit, and the one-piece swimsuit has long been shut out of fashion.

It seems that only four triangles of fig leaf have been favored. It seems that we are more and more fond of showing our bodies -- of course, this is a beautiful thing, or how can people care about their bodies?

In the invention of human life in the twentieth Century, the birth of bikini is not to be underestimated.

Middle Ages: go naked to the bathhouse

Men in medieval Europe took off before taking a bath.

And then walked naked across the street to the bathhouse. One of the witnesses said, "except for anything worn out of trousers, father took many nude wives and children from his home to the bathhouse."

I saw many times at noon that 10 year old, 12 year old or even 18 year old girl was wearing a short shirt underneath, with her hands behind her back and across the long street from home to the bathhouse, and they followed a group of teenage boys.

This attitude of taking a bath and swimming unpleasant attitude did not last for a long time.

When the concept of shame enters the dress rules, this situation starts to change.

In eighteenth Century, men were still naked when they were swimming, but when they were on shore, they were wearing clothes (tops or vests with trousers or shorts).

It was only in the middle of nineteenth Century that men were forced to swim in clothes.

Early swimming trunks look like shorts made of thick serge, which shows why men are strongly opposed to such trunks in the face of moral condemnation.

Such trunks do not have elastic bands at the waist, so they often fall down, and even fall to the heels under water.

(it is conceivable that this kind of swimming trunks that people have to wear is not popular.)

Whenever possible, men will swim naked.

Feminist movement

Design

In the early twentieth Century, some people objected and laughed at the fact that men's swimsuits must have sleeves, trouser legs, tights and blouses. But only in 30s did the society accept swimming in only swimming trunks.

Women's swimsuit and men

The difference is that the former has always aroused concern and controversy over its sexual characteristics.

In twentieth Century, the improvement of swimsuit was closely related to the feminist movement. After giving equal social status and voting rights to women in most countries in Europe and the United States, women were free to engage in more outdoor activities.

In this era, a great revolution was launched. Besides being more convenient for women to bathe in the sea, swimsuits also showed women's status and social enthusiasm.

The age between 1870 and 1900 is a turning point in the history of women's swimwear. The style remains the same, but it is becoming more and more simple. Women are still wearing corsets under swimsuit -

And leggings, similar to children's pajamas.

Although it was only accepted by fashion critics in 1920s.

The legislature of the * * has strictly prohibited such "loose" clothing by law, which stipulates that swimsuits must cover human parts from the neck to the knees.

Some women were fined for not wearing silk stockings, shoes or long skirts.

Women's swimming became the Olympic event for the first time in 1912.

Fanny Dulac, a sleeveless swimsuit with half long trouser legs, is the champion of many projects.

Annette Kellerman, an Australian born swimmer, has also broken the rules.

She was arrested in Boston in 1907 for wearing a bold conjoined swimsuit.

In the early 1920s, the economic prosperity of the European and American countries made people pursue the enjoyment of life. Generally, the "sea air craze" became a favorite for the middle class. The wealthy young people did not run to learn to fly a plane or go to the beach to study swimming or sea bathing.

Jantzen, a nylon clothing manufacturer, created revolutionary new swimming suit materials and laid back swimsuits.

The cotton fabric, wool cloth and even no elastic waterproof fiber used to be abandoned in the past. The nylon fabric with high elasticity, high permeability and low water absorption has been made to make the swimsuit with more close fitting, easy to wear and light weight.

These one-piece Jumbo mini skirts and two piece vest trimming shorts not only enhance the safety of female swimmers, but also greatly enhance the observability of women's swimsuits.

The birth of bikini

It is well known that the bikini has become fashionable under the new wave of revolution in the 1960s. But it was invented in 40s, and it was designed by a French designer, Luis Lierde, which is divided into two upper and lower swimsuits. As the world's first atomic bomb exploded on the bikini island in the Marshall islands of the Pacific Ocean in the period, it was also named after the nuclear wave like epoch-making swimsuit.

On the eighteenth day of the first atomic bomb explosion on Bikini Island, Luis Lierde launched a swimsuit consisting of three cloth and four straps in Paris in July 18, 1946.

Through the bra to protect the breasts, the back is almost bare except for the rope belt, and the crotch of the triangular underpants is raised as far as possible, showing the hip part of the hip leg to the maximum extent.

It is simple and small, and only uses less than 30 inches of cloth to knead it into a matchbox.

Until then, swimsuits were still conservative, covering most of the body.

And Reid's design exposed most of the upper abdomen.

The swimsuit is a fabric printed with newspaper contents, indicating that the bold designer hints that his bold design will occupy a large number of pages in the world newspaper.

When a stripper named Michael Bonnatyne was at the edge of a swimming pool for the first time, the reporters gathered in the public for the first time to put on the bikini bravery.

The appearance of this swimsuit shocked the world no less than that of an atomic bomb.

The ingenious Lille Germany lost no time in making use of the influence of the bikini Island exploding atomic bomb, and resolutely named the two three point swimsuit as the "bikini", adding the age color of the new swimsuit, thereby making windfall.

The "costume" prevailed only in Europe until 15 years later.

One of the most classic bikini is the 1950s bikini swimsuit, which was worn by French actress Brigitte Bardot on the big screen in the past. Today, it is still fashionable by many fashion brands.

After this early sensation subsided, bikini swimsuit was

It shows a new prospect.

As a swimsuit worn by women on the beach and swimming, bikini quickly replaced conjoined swimwear.

The sculptural image of 40s and 50s turned into the soft and natural body lines of 60s, and the temptation to completely take off their jackets also existed.

Bikini culture craze

The spread of bikini fever has impacted the whole world's popular culture and moral values.

From 1950s to 60s, the beaches of the United States became a favorite place for everyone to love and yearn for, because there was not only sunshine, beach and charming sea, but also the unprecedented sex that bikini displayed at the seaside.

The beauty of lines in women's bodies is highly regarded. People are more demanding in terms of physical aesthetics. The round body lines are regarded as unhealthy and dull. Only thin bodies and strong muscles are recognized.

Today's bikini has become the mainstay of swimsuit. The one-piece swimsuit has long been shut out of fashion. It seems that bikini has only turned into four triangles of fig leaf. We seem to love to show our body more and more. - of course, this is a beautiful thing, or how can people care about their bodies?

1964 Rudi (Rudi) designed Bibra without bra.

It shows a risk of lust under the pressure of a highly industrialized society and opens fire to the public ethical bastion.

Cole has launched a bathing suit that covers the front and waist with a fishing net.

The bikini dressing style reveals the youthful vigor of passionate and passionate youth through the beautiful curves of the human body, so that the healthy, bodybuilding and brown body of Americans become a natural manifestation and symbol of beauty.

"Bikini tells us that the most beautiful thing in life is freedom," the prevailing buzzword at that time led some western countries to have a sexy beach culture.

The unstructured swimsuits of 70s and 80s followed.

These swimsuits cover almost nothing except the lower body.

Swimming and nude swimming are more and more accepted internationally, even though swimming is still a minority.

The revolution of swimsuit is approaching maturity. In recent twenty or thirty years, the new material has made the function of swimming suit more perfect.

Return of cautious style

In 90s, bathing suit

They tend to be "cautious" again, covering more body areas and reusing some of the original stitching methods and adjusting their posture.

In 1992, Cole developed an inflatable bikini (TopSecret) based on the popular prediction of breast augmentation. It is a bikini with a tiny inflatable plug in the bra, which enables women to wear bathing suits and shape.

In 1995, with the entry of high-tech materials into the fashion industry, bikini again became the favorite design object of many international fashion designers. With high-tech materials coupled with retro style, bikini, a bikini decorated with Rhine stone, and a bandage style such as Gene, appeared in 50s.
