Bikini

(http://www.fashionlady.in/the-history-of-womens-swim-suits/29637), there is an image that depicts the generations of bathing suits. The image shows the dates 1800, 1906, 1942, 1946, 1950’s and 1980s to present day. As one can see through the years the layers of clothing used in bathing suits decreased more and more. In the 1800’s, women were seen on beaches in dresses. In 1906 they changed from the traditional dress to a more “streamlined” bathing suit due to more mobility for the swimmers in the Olympic Games. In 1942, the bathing suit was designed for woman to show off more of their shape yet still not show off a high amount skin and cleavage. In 1946, a french designer by the name of Louis Reard designed what we know today as the “bikini”. In the 1950’s, bikinis offered women with curvy figures the structured support of undergarments to uphold women with bigger breast and a bigger behind. In the 1980’s to present day, the bathing suit received a more sporty and “sexier” look by female athletes and models.

Ever wondered who invented the idea of the bikini? Well here’s your answer… The name for the bikini design was coined in 1946 by Parisian engineer Louis Réard, the designer of the bikini. He named the swimsuit after Bikini Atoll, where testing on the atomic bomb was taking place. Fashion designer Jacques Heim, also from Paris, re-released a similar design earlier that same year, the Atome. Even if you are not comfortable wearing a two-piece swimsuit, there is also a one piece and even a burkini.…

The ideal vision and respect for the human body has changed over the years. Most importantly is the way people look at the female body. Before civilization, mankind use to walk on this earth without any, or very little clothing, which depended on the climate of the area. Then later, women were taught that they must hide their body because it was supposed to be more modest and “ladylike”, while the male’s body was viewed as art. Over the years the times have changed, and the vision of an…

In “Saudis in Bikinis”, Nicholas D. Kristoff states that women in Saudi Arabia are repressed because of their exaggerated attire. The key argument in the essay is whether or not Saudi women are repressed or if they think they’re free. Kristof seems to emphasize the idea that even if Saudi women believe that they are truly free, they haven’t been exposed to true freedom and have therefore been deceived. The final excerpt states: “If Saudi Arabians choose to kill their economic development and…
