The name of Bikini Island originally refers to Bikini Island, an uninhabited island in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. 2006 is the 60th birthday of bikini. In the past half century, bikini has always been a symbol of women's fashion clothes. Bikini swimsuit is considered as the greatest "invention" of the world clothing industry in the 20th century. 1946 On June 30th, an atomic bomb exploded in Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. 18 days later, a Frenchman named Louis Rilde introduced a bra top and briefs swimsuit. That day, he hired a call girl as a model to show his work in a public swimming pool. A week later, bikinis were all the rage in Europe.
The inventors of bikini were two Frenchmen-Jacques Heim and Louis Riedel. But they are not the first people to think of bikinis. As early as BC 1600, there were murals of bikini-style swimsuits. Heim is a female fashion designer from Cannes, France. She designed a very small swimsuit and named it Atome Bomb. She rented a plane to smoke and write in the air to promote her design. The plane wrote in the air: "Atom-the smallest swimsuit in the world." Three weeks later, mechanical engineer Rilde also wrote in the air by plane: "Bikini-smaller than the smallest bathing suit in the world." Before 1946, bikini was just a place name-the name of the island approved by President Truman for nuclear bomb test explosion. In the first half of that year, women only dared to swim by the sea in a "swimsuit" with a stand-up collar and flat feet tightly wrapped around their bodies. The scenery on the beach is very dark.
On18th day after the atomic bomb exploded in Bikini Island, Marshall Islands, Luis Rilde, a Frenchman, introduced a swimsuit consisting of three pieces of cloth and four straps in Paris on July 1946. This kind of swimsuit with the smallest body area in the world protects the breasts through a bra, and its back is almost naked except for the rope, which is convenient to carry and beautiful to wear.
Before that, swimsuits were conservative and covered most of the body. Rilde's design exposed most of the upper abdomen. The swimsuit is made of cloth printed with newspaper contents, and the shrewd designer hinted that his bold design would occupy a large number of pages in Le Monde. Because almost naked, many professional fashion models in Paris were afraid of this swimsuit at that time. However, a stripper named Michal Bernardini bravely challenged traditional ideas, wearing a bikini beside a swimming pool for reporters to take pictures, while another bikini was put on a plastic model.
The appearance of bikini shocked the world like an atomic bomb. Ingenious Rilde took advantage of the influence of the atomic bomb explosion in Bikini Island and decisively named the two-piece three-point swimsuit "Bikini", thus making a fortune. Although this new style caused a lot of controversy, it was welcomed by "naughty girls decorating the beach" in France.
In fact, this swimsuit named "Bikini" really shocked the whole world. Countries along the Mediterranean regarded it as a plague, Italy banned it, the Spanish coast guard expelled people wearing bikinis, and even the United States arrested people for bikinis.
Australian designer Paula Stafford introduced bikini to Australia in 1952, which caused an uproar. John Moffat, a beach patrolman, immediately caught a model wearing a short bathing suit designed by Paula. "It's too short!" He shouted at the top of his lungs and escorted the model off the beach. Paula was not intimidated. She put five other girls in bikinis, informed the local newspaper and invited the mayor, a priest and the police chief to the scene. As a result, nothing happened, but she achieved amazing publicity results.
Since the Middle Ages, people have used a series of reasons to prevent women from swimming or even taking a bath. /kloc-in the 0 th and 7 th centuries, some medical-related bathing methods increased women's bathing opportunities. But women must wear ankle-thick shirts and a hat to maintain their dignity. As soon as they get out of the water, the waiter will dress them in robes. Until the19th century, people still wore this kind of swimsuit.
/kloc-in the 0/9th century, shirt-style swimsuits were replaced by knee-length swimsuits. Women still wear pants and stockings under this bathing suit. They are wearing swimming caps and lace-up slippers similar to ballet shoes. In this way, swimwear finally entered the fashion magazines and store catalogues in the 1980s of 19. However, the skirt of the new women's swimsuit is very wide, and the wet weight can reach 30 kg.
From 1870 to 1900, it is a turning point in the history of women's swimwear, and its style is similar to children's pajamas. Some governments strictly prohibit wearing "lewd" clothes through laws, stipulating that swimsuits must cover the human body from neck to knees. Some women were fined for not wearing stockings, shoes or long skirts.
Australian-born female swimmer Annette Kellerman (1887- 1975) also broke the routine. She was arrested by the police in Boston on 1907 for wearing a bold one-piece swimsuit.
By the 1930s, the style of non-competitive swimsuits had undergone revolutionary changes. Straps replace sleeves, legs are getting shorter and shorter, and neckline is getting lower and lower. The most fundamental innovation of women's swimwear is the appearance of bikini.
Bikini was only popular in Europe at that time, and it didn't reach the United States until 15. When Marilyn Monroe, one of Hollywood's most famous stars, appeared in various fashion magazines with bikini movie pictures and artistic photos, people first began to look at this sexy swimsuit with special respect. With the help of bikini, Marilyn Monroe became the sexy goddess in Hollywood, and bikini became popular all over the world because of its association with Monroe's name. In the following decades of the 20th century, Bridget Albert Batteux's Bikini Girl was released in France, and bikinis fascinated the French and became fashionable clothes. Brian Hyland's song Little Bikini with Yellow Dots made bikini a household name. By 1969, American Life magazine has published a special introduction to bikinis, and the negative image of bikinis has disappeared. According to statistics, British women spend about 45 million pounds on bikinis every year, and French bikini sales account for about half of the women's swimsuit market.
1964 Rudy's topless dress opened fire on the fortress of public ethics. Cole introduced a bathing suit with a fishing net covering the chest and waist. Naked swimming and naked swimming began to appear, despite the adoption.
There are still a few people who take this swimming style.
In the 1990s, model Jerry Hall launched a series of swimsuits at 1989, aiming at "returning hips to women's swimsuits". From 65438 to 0992, Cole Company developed an inflatable TopSecret according to the popular prediction that breast enhancement will return. Bikini with high-tech materials and retro style to reproduce the image of the 1950s, bikini decorated with rhinestones, and bikini with straps appeared one after another. In addition, there are bikinis that use belts instead of cloth to wrap the human body at three points, topless bikinis, mini bikinis and a bikini with only three small strips of cloth fixed in the cover, which is called "savage".
The development experience of swimwear is closely related to people's concept changes and social culture. No matter what kind of "treatment" it received at first, swimwear has become an irreplaceable part of the clothing industry. Bikini, as a symbol of human freedom and liberation, has been a symbol of modernist culture in the 20th century since 1946 was first created by Americans. It was quickly accepted by post-modern society and became a fashion symbol to express various concepts of post-modern culture. Of course, for ordinary people in life, bikini is a kind of swimsuit and a necessary costume for going to the seaside for vacation. However, what style of bikini to wear still reveals different cultural concepts. Bikini is more prominent than any clothing, which has surpassed its original practical function and become a living cultural concept language.
In the new century, bikinis with the following four theme styles will sweep across every inch of land in the scorching sun, decorating the charming scenery on the seaside and beach:
1. Romantic
This is an emotional expression. Full of female vitality and open and unrestrained, such as bright sunshine in summer, jumping on the beach, dancing in the breeze, is a dynamic style, which makes people relaxed and natural. This theme style bikini has bright colors, printed elastic fabrics, plaids, stripes and flower patterns, which are full of feminine charm. The design focuses on the decorative rope belt at the mouth and waist of the cup, which adds an elegant sense of movement. Most hood rings have steel brackets to secure the chest. Shoulder straps vary in width, and there are integrated and tapped shoulder straps.
2. Structural anatomy
This is an expression of future ideas-simplicity and nudity. The human body presents geometric figures under the cutting of points, lines and surfaces-triangles, rectangles, oblique lines and straight lines. It has the metal and digital flavor of the network culture era. This theme style bikini is made of monochromatic elastic ultra-thin fabric, which is light in color and shiny. Asymmetric design is eye-catching. The back design omits the fabric and is completely tied with thread, which makes the body more fully exposed to the summer sun. The ultra-thin fabric of elastic fiber embodies the function of "second skin" and makes bikini a more complete part of the body.
3. Fun games
"Game" is also a special word in contemporary culture. Entertainment is a game, life is a game, and work is a game. Laws and customs are called "rules of the game". This seemingly cynical and serious life-"Dance Academy" is actually a kind of light weight for complex responsibilities-"Drama Life". The rise of leisure culture is a new plan for time in the high-tech era, which makes time more efficient and life more quality, and is also an excellent way to maintain childlike innocence.
This theme style bikini is light in color, monochrome and printed, mainly made of slightly thicker elastic fabric. The design focuses on the decoration of lotus leaves, either on the front or on the edge, many of which can fill the chest. Generally, there is no steel bracket, and the underwear is designed in a straight line. Underwear is high waist and flat feet, and there are also low waist briefs. Focus on giving people the impression of a lively, lovely and relaxed girl.
4. Sports
This is a bikini that highlights the healthy style. Health is the fashion pursued by contemporary people. People are saying: "Health means everything", "Health means 1, wealth, love, freedom and other things are O, only with health can there be 100, 1000,10000 ..." Physical fitness has become a new life force.
This theme style bikini is mainly made of printed elastic fabric, and its style is similar to sports bra. One-piece wide shoulder strap with straight seam, horizontal seam and oblique seam. Underwear is a briefs with a middle waist, which is simple in decoration, mainly in the form of double seams and borders, giving people a generous and lovely impression. Bikini swimsuit is the favorite of bodybuilding women. You can wear it to swim in the sea, or you can use it as a clothing accessory to match the appearance. Bikini has less fabric and more exposed parts. Not everyone has a flat belly, strong arms and slender legs, but even if you don't have a devil's figure, as long as you choose a bikini that suits your figure, you can cleverly cover up the shortcomings of your figure and show the charm of confidence. There are four different bikini designs:
Sports bikini
This kind of bikini abandons its bust and wears a vest instead. In addition to slightly reducing the exposure, it can also make the wearer show a sexy side in a healthy image.
Women who wear sports bikinis and flat chests may be afraid that others will focus on their breasts. If you choose a bright coat with a big flower pattern, you can visually make your chest fuller. As for plump people, you should choose a straight and dark sports bikini, which will not only make your figure look slimmer, but also distract others. Popular bikini patterns, animals and plants are still an important theme of swimsuits: designers use popular silver-gray to create fish-scale fabrics, turning you into a mermaid and melting you into a landscape in green mountains and green waters. Or draw a square inch of land, which is covered with faint water plants, water lilies and small fish spitting bubbles, making bikinis the most beautiful ocean.
Tubular bikini
The tubular bikini (Bandeaubikini) is a swimsuit variant of the popular tubular top (Bubetop).
There are two kinds of tubular bikinis: those with suspenders and those without suspenders. If you are petite, choosing a bikini without suspenders can draw others' attention to your sexy shoulders, thus bringing out the best in each other. However, a strapless bikini may make you feel insecure. Bikini bra doesn't have two shoulder straps, so it is easy to shift. It is very embarrassing to adjust the bra in the swimming pool. It is recommended that you wear a strapless bikini when sunbathing, so that there will be no ugly shoulder strap marks after sunbathing. If you plan to swim seven or eight laps in the pool, you'd better choose a safer bikini. For those with wider shoulders, you can choose a tubular bikini with a sling, which can not only cover up the shortcomings of wider shoulders, but also appear tangible and rich. At the same time, the trend of swimwear is mainly smooth and shiny fabrics. Silver gray, pearl color and other crystal clear light colors have become the protagonists of swimsuits. Details such as bright beads and one-shoulder patterns are also very popular from fashion to swimsuits. Flat-legged tubular bikini is also the first choice for conservatives, allowing you to show your free and easy side.
Strap bikini
Bright colors, sexy high slit design, suspenders are the most classic bikini design. Wearing it is enough to fascinate men and envy women.
Sling bikini has the least fabric and the most exposed parts. If you don't have a delicate figure and slender legs, you'd better stay away from it. At present, the most popular suspender bikini is decorated with water patterns. This kind of bikini has the effect of flashing, adding several bright colors to the original monotonous bikini. In addition, some new swimsuits are printed with gold powder flowers.
bikini
Bikini began to land, which can be worn in water or on land. The trick is to tie a skirt of the same color at the waist.
Topshop and GUESS have prepared short skirts for bikinis, which are fashionable new clothes to tie around their waists. The clever combination of short skirt and silk scarf will definitely give off a strong feminine taste when you put on a bikini. After wearing a bikini, if you feel that your thighs are too thick, you can tie a tulle or scarf around your waist to distract others with elegant temperament. If you only plan to sunbathe on the beach, you can wear an extra pair of shorts. Of course, bikini bra with short skirt can also reduce nudity and make you look confident and charming on the beach. Women are sexiest in bikinis. This half-covered and half-exposed beauty of temptation unconsciously reminds people of the "Qi Gannick effect" in psychology, squeezing out all the space for enjoying the coat and leaving endless imagination space for the body curve. As someone viciously commented: "Wearing a bikini is sexy murder", it is no exaggeration, and it can make men on the sidelines have nosebleeds. The freedom to wear more and less is in the hands of women. Wearing this tempting "murder weapon" can show the advantages of women to the end. As long as you are ready to meet the requirements of wearing a bikini, you can welcome the sunny weather inside. For a beautiful woman who insists on going to the gym, it may be relatively easy to get a fashionable figure. If the flesh on the body is slack, it is easy to make people visually swell and feel fat. What's more, the small fat in the abdomen is the easiest to expose, while the fat in the arms and thighs has nowhere to hide. If you want to wear a bikini, you have to exercise and get in shape anytime, anywhere. Believe me, you can't change your bikini figure just by dieting without hard exercise!
Condition 1: the arm is symmetrical and slender, the upper arm circumference is not large, and the biceps brachii is slightly prominent, showing a shoulder line.
Core position: inside the big arm
Action explanation: Push the arm forward with your hands crossed until the arm is completely straight, keep the palm forward for 4-8 seconds, then take it back after relaxing, and do 10-20 times to make the inside of the arm firm. Cross your hands behind your head, then straighten your arms up, palm up, hold for 4~8 seconds, relax and contract, and do it for 5~ 10 times.
Of course, using small dumbbells to do flat lifting, bending lifting or "flying birds" will make the parts that are difficult to exercise more compact and help the shape of the arm win bikini conditions.
Condition 2: the chest is plump and straight, and it is relatively concentrated, and cleavage can be seen vaguely.
Core: pectoral muscle
Action explanation: In normal leisure time, you can find a wall or a wardrobe to stand upright and sideways, which can play a good role in stretching pectoralis major. Stand in lunge, hold the wall with your right hand, let your left hand droop naturally, tuck in your abdomen and hold out your chest, miniaturize your jaw, lean your chest forward as far as possible, tighten your back muscles, and keep your right hand position unchanged. After three breaths, slowly relax, then change direction and do the other side.
In the combination of chest exercises, kneeling posture and push-ups are classic. Compared with ordinary push-ups, the biggest feature is that the knees are on the ground and the strength is concentrated on the upper body exercise. Hold your hands on the ground, keep your body level, and be careful not to tilt your hips. Try to keep your chest close to the ground and your abdomen close to the ground when pressing down. It takes a lot of strength, and it is also helpful to shape the arm and make the chest closer to the center.
Condition 3: Show the initial curve of the body, with the lowest waistline and firm hips.
Core parts: waist and buttocks
Action explanation: Raise your arms horizontally with shoulder width and twist them to the left and right respectively. Breathe evenly and keep your posture above the limit for 3 seconds. This action is very simple, and long-term persistence can reduce the waist circumference.
Or stand side by side with your back to the back of the chair. The left leg is bent, and the left leg is lifted backward to hook the back of the chair. Hold both sides of your left foot backwards with your arms, hold your head up, straighten your waist and hold your chest, tighten your hip and waist muscles 10 seconds, retract your left leg and resume your initial movements, and change the control of your right leg. Repeat the action three times alternately.
Condition 4: eliminate the small belly that grows quietly in the abdomen, with slight abdominal muscle traces.
Core part: abdomen
Action explanation: lie flat on the bed, bend your legs together and try to get close to your abdomen. Repeat 10 times and try to maintain a constant speed. In the process of persistence, the lower abdominal muscles will be well exercised. In addition, sit-ups are also a good method, but these two movements are hard and not easy to adhere to.
Or kneel on the bed or the ground with your legs, put your body back, put your hands on the ground behind your feet, and stretch your abdomen as far as possible 10 second. This action can not only stretch the abdominal muscles, but also stretch the muscles of the long legs, so that beautiful lines extend from the abdomen to the thighs.
Condition 5: The legs are slender and there is no fat around the knees.
Core parts: inner thighs, hind legs.
Action explanation: Hold the wall with one hand, and open it with the other hand on the side. Kick the outer leg forward, sideways and backward, and keep the whole leg as straight as possible. Doing squats will not make your legs look good, because it may make your legs look stronger.
Leg exercises can be done anytime and anywhere, and you can sit in a chair. Of course, it is best that the thighs are parallel to the ground. First touch the ground with the whole foot surface, then keep the forefoot close to the ground and raise the heel as much as possible, so that the muscles of the calf can be lifted and the legs will be slender. 1946: The year of outbreak. Louis Rilde, a French designer, unveiled the mystery of bikini and shocked the world.
195 1: Bikini was banned by the fashion world after the controversy caused by the Miss World incident, perhaps because of its potential threat to health to some extent.
1957: brigitte bardot flores, a bikini advocate, initiated a new era of swimsuit in the fashion show "God Created Woman".
1960: At that time, the popular American singer Brian Hyland sang a song about bikinis, which set off a bikini buying craze among American teenagers.
1964: A two-piece bikini became a suit. This unstructured swimsuit has almost nothing to cover except the lower body. After the protests of the papal regime, this trend has intensified. In one season, 3000 sets of unstructured swimwear were snapped up in Europe.
1970: Rio and San Tropet produce triangle swimsuits, commonly known as tight swimsuits or "dental floss". This uncomfortable design has become the new favorite of young models.
In The Return of the Jedi, the most successful movie in george lucas's Star Wars trilogy, Princess Leia plays kelly fisher in a gorgeous bikini.
1993: Sports bikini became popular, and the design of triangle vest became a popular trend.
This is the violence of bikini, sweeping away all pretenses and being superior. It only shows the body. If you join the ranks of women who are afraid of wearing bikinis, do the following to ensure that you will be full of confidence. First of all, obviously, buy a really good and likable bikini. Secondly, almost every woman will buy several bikini tops and bottoms, including myself, so it is a good way to choose brands that can be sold separately to match swimsuits, although sometimes it is a bit confusing. That's how I persuaded the store to sell it to me. It's also worth the trouble. Of course, you can also consider buying a vest top. I like to use it with bikini bottoms or salon skirts, pants and beach skirts. Vest swimsuits are younger than suits and more subtle than bikinis, especially when you have no confidence in your lower abdomen. Of course, a bikini can't make you look thinner, but it can make your breasts and hips more attractive.
Remember, don't wear boyish boxers unless you have a pair of long legs and a slim figure. It's really not pretty. Most people's bodies are more beautiful in swimsuit pants with straight tube or spoon cut at the back. What makes people feel interesting is that the more you cover your hips, the thinner you get. Many women wear less clothes. For example, some people wear bikinis with high waists, which look better than jumpsuits. The adjustment of the neck belt will often create charming cleavage. Some women with full breasts can choose tops with steel belts, but this effect will be exaggerated. Personally, I prefer thinner girls to wear tight swimsuits.
When choosing a bikini, color is the most important factor. At the beginning of the holiday, I found myself very suitable for lavender and turquoise, because my skin color is still very pale; After tanning, warm and colorful colors should appear. I don't like to wear a white bikini when my skin is very white, but after tanning, white has become my first choice. I like to see people in the city who usually wear only black and beige. When festivals come, they will immediately become colorful flowers. Those girls are dazzling in bright pink and orange. I once lived in India for a long time, where the bright colors worn by women inspired me.
Almost everyone has shortcomings and imperfections, which makes us less confident. So what we have to do is to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. Maybe it is charming cleavage, maybe it is slender legs, rounded shoulders, attractive back and so on. You will always have at least one wonderful part. My advice is: never emphasize your shortcomings to outsiders. You know, no one noticed them until you cried to others, "Look at my ugly thighs."
I have a beautiful girlfriend with a good figure, but she never shows her abdomen because she will leave some spots when she is pregnant. Even when I saw her during the holiday, no one thought that she was "deliberately hiding" because she was always dressed so sexy, a one-piece open-back bathing suit or a vest that could show off her figure with a mini skirt. She has a full chest, a perfect back and long legs. Her figure looks as beautiful as a work of art to me. If you really don't like some parts of yourself, don't show them to others.
If I don't wear white pants in summer, I will definitely feel something is missing. I bought two different models for the first time and will choose three models for the second time ... it really fascinates me! Take time to choose the one that suits you best. Going to the beach bar at night, elastic sexy dress is my favorite; But during the day, loose straight pants are the absolute first choice.
Speaking of beach bars, remember to buy some beautiful vests or tops when you are ready to dress. On the way back from the seaside, someone suggested going to a bar. I think the worst thing is wearing a dirty bathing suit in a bar, with a towel around my waist, wet hair, red face and thick neck, surrounded by elegant and moving women. Generally, I will pack a vest and a chiffon salon in my beach bag to cope with this occasion, and I will also bring a small cosmetic bag with several simple necessities: lipstick, blush, eyeliner and tanning cream.
Finally, I want to remind you that tanning will be more beautiful. If the skin is shiny and metallic, many shortcomings can be covered up. So buy a big bottle of tanning cream and start preparing it a week or two before going to the beach. I don't want to be exposed to the sun for too long, so I usually spend a holiday on tanning cream.
