Feminism Changes Swimsuit Design (Chapter 2)

In this article, Kameymall will continue to introduce the role of feminism in changing swimsuit design.

Women's swimming

Women's swimming became an Olympic event for the first time in 1912. Fanny Drucker, wearing a sleeveless one-piece swimsuit with half-long trouser legs, came out first in many events. Australian-born female swimmer Annette Kellerman also broke the rules. She was arrested in Boston in 1907 for wearing a bold one-piece swimsuit.
In the early 1920s, the economic prosperity of European and American countries made people pursue life enjoyment one after another. Generally, the "sea and air boom" has become a thing pursued by the middle class. The rich young people either go to learn to fly a plane or go to the beach to learn swimming or take a sea bath.

Fabric and style
At that time, nylon clothing manufacturers created revolutionary new bathing suit materials and laid down future swimming suit styles. They abandoned the previous use of cotton, wool cloth, and even inelastic waterproof man-made fibers, and replaced them with nylon fabrics with high elasticity, high air permeability, and low water absorption to make more close-fitting, easy to wear, and lightweight bathing suits. These one-piece mini skirt pants and two-piece vest with flat foot shorts not only improve the safety of female swimmers, but also greatly increase the observability of female swimming clothes, but also help women's social status. After that, there are a variety of swimsuits, sexy bikini, one-pieces, and many other fashionables and good-looking swimsuits!
