About
1960s swimwear shifted from conservative 1950s styles towards youthful freedom and the bikini revolution. Designers began focusing on younger tastes, with nylon and Lycra creating stretchy, body-conscious suits. Film stars such as Brigitte Bardot, Ursula Andress and Raquel Welch popularised the bikini, while lower cuts and daring silhouettes reflected changing attitudes towards fashion and femininity.
