History Of The Bikini
With summer fast approaching, Plums Lingerie looks to its summer collection with an homage to a pioneering piece of beach fashion, the bikini.
Although the bikini arrived in 1946, courtesy of two French fashion designers in the French Riviera , and was still banned as recently as the 1951 Miss World Contest, it was not until the 1960s that the bikini became de rigueur on the worlds beaches . The 1960 song Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and Ursula Andress iconic performance as Honey Ryder in the 1962 Bond film, Dr. No, helped to catapult the two piece swimsuit to iconic status.
In recent generations, we enjoy a more relaxed approach to social convention (a century previous may have seen angry mob-like reactions to exposed flesh) and combined with todays shape enhancing materials means that bikinis are light-weight, comfortable and an essential item for the beach and poolside.
Pre-1946 Before the fashion industry
The history of the bikini is not as brief as the garment itself. This story doesn't begin in the 20 th century. Minoan wall paintings and ancient Greek and Roman artefacts suggest that the bikini goes as far back as 1600BC.
We can look to the women of the 19 th and early 20 th centuries to understand the bikinis modern history. Beachwear was back on the social agenda as the seaside became part of peoples lifestyle.
Surprisingly, nudity was the preferred swimsuit of 19 th century women, with neither modesty nor icy waters able to provoke their inhibitions. However, contemporary society of the time demanded propriety, and clothes were put back on. Beachwear fashion became highly conservative, and seasiders began wearing impractical outfits, oftentimes covering the wearer from head to toe in wool or flannel.
By WWI, woollen tank-suits were being worn, that hugged the body and enhanced womens natural curves. A shift towards practicality, style and freedom had arrived; across Europe the younger generation started to bare more despite the opposition they encountered.
