World Bikini Day: what’s that about?
July 5, 1946. The setting: a swimsuit beauty contest at Paris’s famed Molitor pool. The moment: the first official appearance of the modern bikini, designed by French engineer Louis Réard.
From scandal to style icon
Post-war Paris was ready for lightness and new beginnings. Inspired by women rolling up their swimsuits for better tans, Réard created a two-piece suit that boldly revealed the navel. A true revolution for the time !
Sensing the buzz it would create, he had the fabric printed with newspaper headlines. Clever move. His bikini, called “the atomic bomb of fashion,” made waves and controversy across Europe and the U.S.
While the design was banned in some countries, the French Riviera quickly embraced it and by the 1960s, the bikini had become a global fashion icon and a symbol of female freedom and confidence.
Discover the best of the bikini on Glamuse
Initially controversial at its inception, the legendary swimsuit eventually conquered the beaches and became a symbol of women’s emancipation. Today, it is a must-have in beachwear.
