To celebrate the swimwear classic’s 75th birthday, model Estefany Vallenilla, 26, is wearing our recreation of the first bikini.

为了庆祝比基尼这一泳装经典的75岁生日，26岁的模特Estefany Vallenilla穿上了第一件比基尼的最新版本。

It is fashioned from a copy of The Sun in a tribute to the original’s newspaper pattern on its fabric.

它是由一份《太阳报》的复制品制成的，以表达对原版报纸布料图案的敬意。

At the time, the papers were filled with reports of the first US nuclear test at Bikini Atoll — so French fashion designer Louis Reard used the name of the Pacific Ocean reef as he wanted his creation to have a similarly shocking impact on the public.

当时，报纸上充斥着美国在比基尼环礁进行第一次核试验的报道——因此，法国时装设计师路易斯·里尔德（Louis Reard）使用了这个太平洋礁石的名字，因为他希望自己的创作能对公众产生同样令人震惊的影响。

His bikini was modelled by 19-year-old showgirl Micheline Bernardi who was crowned the prettiest swimmer of 1946 when she showcased the paper two-piece at the Molitor swimming pool in Paris.

他的比基尼是由19岁的舞女Micheline Bernardi穿着展示的，她在巴黎的Molitor游泳池展示了纸制的两件式泳衣，被评为1946年最漂亮的游泳者。

While the skimpy swimwear may look fun and flimsy, it actually has a scandalous past.

虽然这种轻薄的泳装看起来很有趣，也很脆弱，但实际上它有一段不堪的过去。

1969年：芭芭拉·温莎（Barbara Windsor）在《春满夏令营》中的著名造型让粉丝们大吃一惊

At the turn of the 20th Century women were finally allowed to enjoy public beaches but were still expected to cover up.

在20世纪之交，女性终于被允许享受公共海滩，但仍然被期望穿着要保守。

The first notable woman to don a swimming costume to the beach was Australian swimmer and silent film star Annette Kellerman.

第一个穿泳装去海滩的著名女性是澳大利亚游泳运动员、无声电影明星安妮特·凯勒曼。

Despite the outfit basically covering her from head to toe, it caused such an uproar she was arrested for indecent exposure.

尽管这套衣服基本上从头到脚都遮住了她，但还是引起了轩然大波，她因不雅暴露被捕。

Opposition from fed-up women led to restrictions being lessened — and by 1915 women all over the world were wearing one-piece swimsuits.

受够了的女性的抗议导致了限制的减少——到1915年，全世界的女性都穿上了连体泳衣。

1974: More 00-heaven with Britt Ekland in The Man With The Golden Gun

1974年：在《007之金枪人》中，布里特·埃克兰露出了更多肌肤

But it wasn’t until July 1946 that the bikini was first unveiled.

但直到1946年7月，比基尼才首次亮相。

It was such a scandal, that the only person willing to model it was a “showgirl” or stripper.

这在当时属于不堪入目，唯一愿意为它做模特的是“舞女”或脱衣女郎。

Reard, who was actually an engineer rather than a fashion designer, patented the word Bikini because he thought the swimwear was going to cause an ‘explosion’ in the fashion world. And he was right.

里尔德实际上是一名工程师而不是一名时装设计师，他发明并申请了比基尼这个词的专利，因为他认为泳装会在时尚界引起“轰动”。他是对的。

There was also lots of criticism from people who thought the bikini was too revealing and sexual.

当然也有很多人批评比基尼过于暴露和性感。

Although after the second world war the bikini provided some fun and frivolity during austere times.

尽管第二次世界大战后，比基尼为世界面临的严峻时期提供了一些乐趣和轻浮。

It also made economic sense because after the Second World War fabric was scarce and bikinis used much less than conventional swimming costumes - the perfect excuse.

这在经济上也是有意义的，因为第二次世界大战后，织物匮乏，比基尼使用的泳装材料远远少于传统的泳装——这是一个完美的理由。

But it was really during the 1960s that bikinis became popular – the time of free love.

但实际上是在20世纪60年代，比基尼才开始流行起来——那是自由恋爱的时代。

It was also when flying abroad for holidays started to become normal with ordinary people – rather than just the upper classes or wealthy.

也正是在那时，乘飞机出国度假不仅仅是上层阶级或富人的悠闲，也开始成为普通人的常态。

Although not many people could afford the luxury of sunbathing on a yacht - soaking up the sun next to pools or on glorious Mediterranean beaches became fashionable. And what better way to get that all-over tan than in a teeny-weeny bikini?

虽然没有多少人能负担得起在游艇上享受日光浴的奢侈，但在游泳池旁或美丽的地中海海滩上享受日光浴已成为一种时尚。还有什么比穿一件小小的比基尼更好的办法让你全身都晒黑呢？

Who can forget the moment Swiss model and film star, Ursula Andress, playing the part of Honey Ryder in the first Bond film, Dr No, emerged from the sea in a revealing bikini. The image was considered very sexually daring at the time –1962.

谁能忘记瑞士模特和影星乌苏拉·安德鲁斯（Ursula Andress）在第一部邦德电影《诺博士》（Dr No）中扮演哈尼·莱德（Honey Ryder）的那一刻，她穿着暴露的比基尼从海里走出来。这张照片在1962年被认为是非常大胆的行为。

Just as the styles of the bikinis have varied over the years, so has what’s considered fashionable in the way women look.

正如这些年来比基尼的款式各不相同一样，时尚女性分造型也是丰富多彩。

2019: Maura Higgins’ eye-catching looks made her a winner on Love lsland

2019年：莫拉·希金斯（Maura Higgins）抢眼的外表让她成为了真人秀《恋爱岛》的赢家

The trend has moved towards a more curvaceous look for women and Love Island contestants showcase their killer curves on air to bag modelling contracts afterwards.

这股潮流已经向女性更具曲线美的造型发展，而《恋爱岛》的参赛者们在之后的播出中展示了她们的迷死人的曲线。

But one thing is certain, the bikini is here to stay.

但有一点是肯定的，比基尼永流传。

So thank you Louis Reard - and happy 75th birthday bikini...I swimwear-salute you.

所以谢谢你，比基尼的发明者路易·里尔德——还有，比基尼，75岁生日快乐……向你致意。
