Бикини придумал француз по имени Луи Реар. Он был автомобильным инженером, но после того, как увидел девушек на пляже, закатывающих купальники, чтобы больше загореть, стал дизайнером.
Представляем вам фотографии из архива журнала Life, посвященные бикини. Давайте посмотрим, какими были эти бикини в первые годы их популярности.
