MONOKINI

Monokini

The monokini was originally a topless swimsuit that exposed the female breasts and in modern designs features large cut-outs at the sides, front and back. It can also refer to the bottom piece of a bikini which is sometimes referred to as a unikini. The topless design was first conceived by designer Rudi Gernreich in 1964 as a protest against repressive society. He initially did not intend to produce the design commercially, but was persuaded by Susanne Kirtland of Look to make it available to the public.
