The bikini is a swimsuit designed for women, named after Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. It consists of two pieces and is often worn in both hot and cold weather or during swimming. The shapes of the bikini pieces resemble women's underwear, and bikinis come in various colors. Women wear them on beach shores, and the bikini reveals 90% of a woman's body, making her relatively naked. The history of the bikini dates back to ancient times.

The history of the bikini is closely linked to the social history of women's status, including the evolution of fashion and changing perspectives on the female body. Women have used a variety of garments and devices to cover, restrict, reveal, or modify the appearance of the breast. Clothing resembling bras or bikinis was depicted in some women's sports in Minoan civilization in the 14th century BC. Since the 14th century and beyond, corsets dominated the undergarments of wealthy women in the Western world, supporting the breasts by shifting their weight to the ribcage.

There are drawings from ancient Rome showing women wearing garments similar to bikinis during Olympic competitions, found in several locations, the most famous being at the Villa Romana del Casale. However, the modern bikini began in France, created by French engineer Louis Réard, and was presented by Micheline Bernardini. It was named "bikini" after Bikini Atoll, where a nuclear test was conducted.
The story begins in 1946, specifically during the American wars and the manufacturing of nuclear weapons. At that time, there was a global crisis in the textile industry, and women's swimsuits were also made of two pieces, but they were crafted from heavy materials like wool, making them weigh up to 50 kilograms in water, which posed a significant challenge and financial burden. This is where the idea of French mechanical engineer and fashion designer "Louis Réard" came about, as he decided to design a new style of swimsuit that used only a very small amount of fabric, taking advantage of what was happening in America to create his own financial fortune.

The design chosen by the French fashion designer "Louis Réard" consisted of an upper piece that resembled a regular bra made from lightweight fabrics, while the lower piece consisted of two inverted triangles connected by a simple chain made of fabric as well. Due to the very small size of the bikini and its coinciding with the manufacturing of nuclear weapons in America just before the design was unveiled, the bikini was named "Atom" in reference to its small size.

Initially, when "Louis" tried to present the bikini to several women to model it, they refused to wear it because it would reveal almost all parts of the body. However, while he was at the "Casino de Paris," he saw a dancer named "Micheline Bernardini," to whom he offered the design, and she did not hesitate to wear it. She indeed wore it, and a series of photos were taken of her, which were published in newspapers and caused a huge stir in France, starting with the "church," which expressed its shock, and several government entities that believed the design aimed to expose women. However, the arrival of more than 50,000 letters from fans of the design to the newspaper turned the situation upside down, and interest in wearing the bikini began to grow.

Since it first appeared in France on July 5, 1946, the bikini began to spread gradually in France. However, the situation in America was completely different, as the bikini made a significant appearance there during the 1960s, aided by a series of films featuring stars wearing bikinis, such as the movie "Bikini Beach" starring "Annette Funicello" in 1964.
