When did the bikini first appear?
Today it’s almost impossible thinking of summer season without the shopping windows displaying manekins wearing the most colorful bikinis. Its upper piece must resemble your bra, but there was a time when women used only one-pieces. You must be asking: who was the first courageous woman to show her belly in a public space? And when was it? Here’s a bit of bikini’s history: 1. The stripper Michelini Bernardini wore the first bikini in 1946. 2. In the 50s, it was the time for American movie stars and pin-ups to publicize it. 3. In the 70s, a new Brazilian bikini model appeared; the famous tanga conquered the world and changed the scene. 4. During the 80s, other teasing models followed; wrap, hang glider, bow on the sides, and the curtain bra. 5. In the 90s it got even smaller and the G-string model appeared. Today, the bikini is still the central piece of beachwear. Source...
