This year marks 60 years after the birth of the bikini by Frenchman Louis Reard, a seminal point in fashion history where women found liberation (to men's pleasure) in wearing less in public than ever before. "The Swimsuit", a glorious, glossy guide to the swimsuit in all its incarnations, marries design history with stunning photography and heralds the arrival of this once-practical garment into mainstream fashion.
