Lastex and nylon made their debut in the early 1930's, allowing French engineer Louis Réard to design the modern bikini in 1946. Women's beach fashion would never be the same but the bikini has precursors dating back to ancient Greece.
For example, the Villa Romana del Casale--a 4th century villa near Sicily--houses hundreds of elaborate mosaics, twelve of which depict ten fit maidens engaged in all manner of physical activity. Dubbed the "Bikini Girls", the youthful women all sport a simple, but unmistakable, two-piece.
The bikini might date back even earlier. Some say a sculpture of the mother-goddess Çatalhöyük popular somewhere around 5600 BC was the earliest woman (or goddess for that matter) to work an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny strip of fur-lined fabric, but others, including the author, remain skeptical.
