    Sun, Sand, and Style: The Evolution of the Bikini

    June 6, 2023 / 0 Comments

    The bikini undoubtedly owed a large part of its success to the cinema – which actually featured it at first only because it was scandalous, and scandal filled seats. But it was quite right that there should have been some hesitation over it, for Hollywood had to be careful: initially it banned the bikini from the screen as “too corrupting and immoral.”

    Un été chaud, un bikini chaud

    July 22, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Le 1er juillet 1946 une bombe atomique de 23 000 tonnes est lâchée à neuf heures du matin sur l’atoll de Bikini, situé dans le sud du Pacifique et pratiquement inconnu jusqu’alors. Elle fait sombrer une bonne demi-douzaine de navires de guerre désarmés et en endommage sévèrement au moins autant. Les conditions atmosphériques sont idéales pour le test, le ciel est découvert et il règne un calme plat.

    On July 1, 1946, at 9 o’clock in the morning, an atomic bomb exploded with a force of 23,000 tons above Bikini, a coral atoll in the South Pacific hitherto virtually unheard of. More than six disarmed warships of the Japanese and American fleets were sunk and more than twice that number were seriously damaged.

    Underwear and Fashion: Lingerie, corsetry and hosiery

    March 22, 2022 / 0 Comments

    The authors correlate lingerie with emancipation, querying whether it asserts newfound freedoms or simply adjusts to conform to changing social values. The result is a rigorous scientific rationale spiced with a zest of humour. And the tinier lingerie gets, the more scholarly attention it deserves.

    The Story of Men’s Underwear

    May 11, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Men’s fashion, particularly the trends involving undergarments, was once reserved for the elite; today it has become democratised, clear proof of social progress. Mirroring the evolution of society’s values, the history of underwear also highlights the continuous, dancing exchange that exists between women’s styles and men’s fashion.
