In the 20th century, the swimsuit spoke of women’s equality in society.

Because no model was brave enough to accept the role, Réard had to hire a stripper to present this revolutionary design.

But just a decade later, people saw this sexy design appearing on beaches all over France.

Sexier & sexier

Although Réard, in the past, described his invention as `a swimsuit so small that it couldn’t get any smaller,` with each passing year, the design of the next generation of bikinis always continues to be smaller than the previous generation.

It cannot be denied that bikinis are extremely effective promotional items for rising young stars.
