Bikini Revolution

The itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny two piece swimsuit was designed by French engineer Louis Reard in the summer of 1946. Fashion expert, Diana Vreeland, called the bikini the most important creation of the 20th century after the atomic bomb. Exaggerating or not, it was the legendary explosion of this atomic bomb in the Bikini atoll, in the south pacific, that named the future “society bomb”.
