World Bikini Day is one of the funniest and piquant holidays, which is celebrated annually on July 5th The date of the celebration was not chosen by chance and is associated with the demonstration of a new swimsuit model in 1946 The author of a beach outfit that was revolutionary for its time was the Frenchman Louis Réard The designer used a minimum of fabric for the swimsuit, calling it “Bikini” in honor of the coral island where the United States tested a thermonuclear device 4 days before the fashion show Louis Réard's model really made a bombshell in the world of prêt-à-porter The consequences of this “explosion” still determine the trends in the development of beach fashion
Despite the success of the fashion show, the new product did not immediately become a success among the fair half of humanity It was believed that such a model would not suit “a girl who observes tact and decency” Revealing swimsuits have long been banned on European beaches The popularization of the bikini was facilitated by its demonstration at the Miss Italy competition in 1950 by Sophia Loren, in 1953 by Marilyn Monroe in the film Niagara, in 1956 by Brigitte Bardot in the film And God Created Woman Today, a two-piece swimsuit with panties consisting of two triangles connected by a strip will not surprise anyone
This is interesting: Louis Réard could not find a professional fashion model who would not refuse to appear in public in a bold for 1946, one might even say shocking attire A dancer from the Casino de Paris, the oldest music hall in France, founded in 1730, agreed to the bikini demonstration
Throughout the entire existence of the miniature model, couturiers have not ceased to improve the appearance of the swimsuit Thus, designers offer girls and women to purchase solar-powered bikinis You can use it to charge your phone or tablet An inflatable bikini, or rather its upper part, acts as a life preserver that prevents you from drowning The Get Naked model of a water-soluble swimsuit is a great idea for a joke, sewn from bubble polyethylene - a reason to rip the material directly on the girl’s body
Designers of the 20th century They produce models with a bra that looks like crossed male arms, as well as panties with a UV sensor attached to the strap For status parties taking place on the sand right at the water's edge, a bikini in the form of a tuxedo was invented Fashionistas who are ready for any experiments put on an aquarium swimsuit with goldfish swimming in the bra cups
This is interesting: Before Réard, the miniature swimsuit was presented to the public in 1932 by couturier Jacques Heim He called his model “Atom” (from the Greek atomos - indivisible), thereby emphasizing that there is no less, nothing further Réard used even less fabric for his swimsuit His provocative beach outfit was advertised with the slogan "Bikini - divided by an Atom!"
Celebrating World Bikini Day does not involve pompous events with pretentious speeches World Bikini Day is held to once again remember the creators of the swimsuit and interesting facts related to the history of its appearance The holiday is not celebrated in Islamic countries, where women take water procedures in closed suits - burkinis And residents of Europe, the USA, Canada and other countries of the world annually pay tribute to the celebration in honor of an important part of the beach wardrobe - the bikini
