About this title

Synopsis

In July 1946 a French designer shook the world with the skimpiest swimwear ever seen. Named after the American atomic bomb test site at Bikini Atoll, the tiny two-piece caused a chain reaction around the world that is still reverberating today. From the initial impact in the still-prudish 1940s, through 50s pinups like Monroe, Mansfield, and Brigitte Bardot, the Bond girls and go-go dancers of the 60s, to today's supermodels, The Bikini Book celebrates - with a wealth of pictures and a sense of humor - a true style icon of the 20th Century.
