if you had to guess…which has more surface area…a sheet of 8 1/2″ by 11″ paper…or the first modern bikini…what would your answer be??
louis reard…a french automobile engineer…i don’t know why that strikes me as funny…an automobile engineer? really? louise reard designed the first modern bikini in 1946…
and if your guess was ” a sheet of paper”…then you would be right! louis reard designed this first modern bikini from a skimpy 30 square inches of fabric…the sheet of paper has 93.5 square inches…
