The first Bikini was discovered in France 73 years ago.
It was Louis Réard, a French engineer who also cared for his mother's inner shop, who first created bath clothes that exposed the navel.
He called his style "bikini" and discovered it on July 5, 1946, five days after the first test of a hydrogen bomb in Bikini Atoll, U.S.A., in hopes of hosting an explosive commercial and cultural resolution.
While Europe enthusiastically attributed Bikin after a long world war, America did not accept the bikini until the 1960s.
The first woman who dared to model with the bikini was Michelin Bernardini, since any models that Réard employed gave up because the bathing suit was very demanding.
