Bikini Modelle
Neckholder - Crochetbikini - Monokini - Trikini.
Almost
no other piece of clothing in human history has stirred so much
controversy, and no other article of clothing needs less fabrics - we
are talking about the BIKINI.
(A bikini is a very brief, close-fitting two-piece bathing suit worn by
women). In the sixties this kind of garment made its breakthrough, but
bikinis have been worn before by female romans - over 2000 years ago!
Named after the destroyed Bikini atoll, the 'land of the coconuts'
dominates many modern-day beaches and offers an enrichment to the
fantasies of men. Between the invention of the bikini and its
breakthrough laid the decades of the sexual revolution and the further
development of the garment. Only when in the sixties the slogan 'sex
sells' comes up, the bikini is slowly making its way into mainstream.
By now there are many different versions of it - and they couldn't be
any more different: The sling-bikini, the neckholder-bikini, but also
the trikini (a combination of string, top and skirt) and also the one
piece monokini.
Made
up of the words neck and hold, the neckholder-bikini
will be tied on the neck and not on the back as a typical bikini. This
kind of bikini offers a unhindered view of the back and a positive
side-effect also a push-up for the decollete. However, this kind of
garment is not for all type of women, but especially women with large
breasts can benefit from it, because the straps are quite wide and that
means, that it is perfect for holding large breasts. The advantages of
a neckholder-bikini have been discovered by many women, one of them is
the singer Beyonce, who was spotted in Monaco in 2007 with such a model.
Since a few years, the modern variety of the monokini, (which is a previously laughed-at further development of the bikini) is winning fans with women and fashion-designers. The original monokini (the name means made from one piece) kept the breasts uncovered, and because the breasts were not supported, was unfit for swimming. This and questions of morals was responsible, that sales were low. But fashion-designers re-discovered the monokini a few years back and today it is like two pieces combined through a piece of cloth, which suggests optically one unit. It is as comfortable to wear as a conventional bikini - so a decision whether to buy one or not is a matter of personal taste!
One variety of the bikini which is somehow not so popular is the trikini. As the name suggests, it is made up from 3 pieces and is available in 2 varieties. Both of them have panties in common, whereby variety one has cups to hold the breasts, which have to be attached with clue because there are no straps and this is not quite comfortable. Furthermore, skin-friendly clues do not stick too strongly, which sometimes meant that the cups just fell off. The more common variety 2 is more like a regular bikini, just with an additional piece of cloth in the back.

Bikini Models
Already
in the tender age of three years the people were able to see her on
the cover of Pais & Filhos, a Brazilian magazine about the
subject family – at this time certainly still together with
her
mother. We are talking about the Model Daniela Sarahyba who
was born
on the 8th
of July 1986.
After
she began her model career already
at the
age of twelve years she first began her big break through in the year
2005 when she was 19 years old: For 2005 the readers were able to see
her in every swim suit edition of the Sports Illustrated where she
built up her fame as a swim suit model. Today she is under contract by
H&M and Benetton. She also worked as underwear model for
Victoria’s secret.
Moreover
she made headlines when
she has been robbed
by an motorbike gang in the city of São Paulo in the middle
of
September 2009. The motorbike gang stole her iPhone and her watch.
The
on Hawaii born Jarah
– Evelyn Makalapua Mariano
is kind of new in the model business. Her look, including her dark
brown hair and eye – color she well owe her Chinese and
Korean
ancestors and she knows who to use this heritage and her nearly
perfect measurements of 86-61-85 to accomplish herself in the world
of the models.
Meanwhile,
for 2007, she already has been showed in advertising spots from the
US – marine, walked on the New York Fashion Week’s
and also was
present at the Rock & Republic Runway Show. But
the biggest part of her publicity she well owe her advertising spots
on television for the American company MAC cosmetics. Moreover she
advertised for Armani, Sephora, Abercrombie & Fitch. But
her international popularity she owes her engagement at the
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Weeks or her performance in the
video of
the singer Jay-Z with the title “Show me what you
got”. In fact
she is a model for cosmetics, underwear and – for sure
– swim
suits.
The
twenty two years old Canadian beauty Kim Cloutier out of
Montreal is
new in the model business yet: First for a few months she has been
published in the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Issue” as swim suit
model. This was the event which brought her the break through.
With
her measurements of 85-61-89 the brown eyed model wears cloth size
36. But Her green eyes weren’t just published in the
“Sports
Illustrated”: They also were to see in the advertisings for
Abercrombie and Fitch and L'Oréal on the television. She
also
appeared in the magazines Elle and Cosmopolitan. Even when her model
agency isn’t represented in Germany (but in Canada, the
United
States of America, France and in the United Kingdom) it is very
probably that she will get attention from the Germans when she
possibly will be walk on the New York Fashion Week.
Another
model from the world of swimming suits is the
Russian Irina Sheik,
born in Shaykhlislamova. In the year 2007, but
also in the next releases from the years 2008 and 2009, she appeared
in the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue”. Before
that she
became famous through the magazines Annabelle, Jalouse and Bolero in
the years 2005 and 2006. She also worked in international
advertisements for the companies Intimissimi and Guess.
In
the near past the brown haired model with the green eyes also made
headlines through her espousal with the Arabian model Talal. With
her body size from 1 meter 78 and her measurements of 86.5-58-88
(cloth size 34) she has got the nearly perfect body for the work as a
model.
The
twenty two years old Brooklyn
Decker from Ohio was also published in
the “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition” from 2006
to 2008 where
she had the possibility to advance her grade of popularity as
swimsuit model.
Zuvor
the blond and blue – eyed model won the “Model of
the Year award
of the Connections Model and Talent Convention” and started
her
career by that. After she has been published in the magazines
Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan and FHM and modeled for Victoria’s
Secret
she went to the city of New York City. In the near past she had some
guest appearances in the television, for example in “The Dan
Patrick Show” and in the series “Ugly
Betty”. Later, at the
17th
April of 2009 she married in Texas.
Another Russian swimsuit mode model which got popular through
the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is Anne Vyalitsyna.
She reached what may be impossible for the most other models in the
World: She was five years in a row in the Sports Illustrated.
All
this began when IMG entdeckte the 15 year young girl at a casting in
the city of St. Petersburg for the Show Fashionably Loud Europe.
Since then she is under contract by IMG. Within only six month she was
published in the magazines Anna Molinari, Chloé and Sportmax
before she later walked for Designers like Versace and worked in
campaigns for companies like DKNY, Dolce & Gabana, Escada or
Chanel. She worked as well in Alanis Morissette’s music video
“Out Is Though” as in several shootings with famous
photographs. Therefore she is one of the most successful swimsuit mode
models in the world.
Despite that she got an inborn speech defect the career of Hilary Duff stays on
an all – time – high:
After her earlier plants like in the film “Casper meets
Wendy” or in the series Lizzie McGuire she played in several
films while by the way winning the golden record for her song
“So
Yesterday” four times. At the moment the twenty-two year old
Duff
works on a film remake of Bonnie and Clyde. She works on the book
adaption Provinces of Night and her new album for a long time, too. The
more the Texan got a model contract at IMG Models for 2007 and counts
to the best earning young actresses: According to Forbes she is
–
directly after Emma Watson known from the Harry Potter movies as
Hermine Granger – the number eight in the category.
Of
all things in a
McDonald’s restaurant the
Brazilian top model of German parentage Gisele Bündchen
has been
discovered. At that time the chef of the model agency Elite got
attention on the model in the McDonald’s restaurant in
São Paulo
for which reason he asked her to come to the Elite Model Look
–
contest in Paris which she won straightaway. At this time she was
fifteen years old. In the year 1997 – two years after she won
the
contest in Paris – she was mugged up for the Pirelli
– calendar
before her career really started in 1998 with eleven cover fotos and
60 shootings for a huge number of established magazines, also as 150
appearances in fashion shows and ten advertising campaigns. With that
she was able to impress the fashion world that much, that she became
“Model of the year” 1999.
Directly
after that she obtained
world wide
popularity through her work at Victoria’s Secret fashion
shows and
advertising campaigns before she stopped the cooperation in 2007 for
high allowance of salaries through Gisele Bündchen.
Thereupon
she came together with Tom Brandy and married him finally after the
best paid model worked together with Kate Moss for Versace. Now she
is going to become mother soon. When the one meter eighty big Gisele
not currently is pregnant she reaches the nearly perfect measurements
of 91-60-89.
One of the few Israeli foto models in the world, which has
been born in Hod haScharon, is the on the 4th of June born Bar Refaeli.
She had her first foto shooting very soon in the tender years of 8
months, when her fotos had been used for an advertising campaign.
Except a few years (1997-2000) in which she was used to wear a brace
and wasn’t avaible for more foto shootings for that reason
she
modeled all her childhood long. Directly after the break which had been
caused by the brace, still in the year 2000, she modeled for fashion
magazines und has been showed in a TV – advertising
campaign. Moreover she got “Model of the
Year” and
was able to defend this title in the year 2001. After that she worked
up to a top model of a fashion label and became cover girl in the Elle
four times in just 2 months. Her later work in the
Victoria’s Secret catalog and later in the GQ helped her to
finally get worldwide attention. Then she was – as
first
Israeli foto model and two years in a row – photographed for
the
Sports Illustrated and published in the calendar. At the same time she
earned her money as super model for the Otto Company, before her body
was declared by vote to the “Body of the Year
2008”.
She also got international attention with her interview with the
Jedi’ ot Acharonot where it looked like she would refuse the
conscription of the state Israel. This became clear in her sentence
“Why is it good to die for our land? Isn’t it
better to
live in New York?”. After that Refaeli complained about the
wrong
portrayal of her interview.
