a maravilha dos bikinis

A Time recorda a bela história do bikini, em fotografias.


The Original Itsy Bitsy Girl
Micheline Bernardini, a nude dancer, was the first woman ever to wear a bikini, in a July 11, 1946 showing for the press at the fashionable Piscine Molitor in Paris on July 11th 1946. The bikini was so small it could fit into a matchbox, like the one she's holding. Unsurprisingly, Bernardini received plenty of fan mail.
