Over the past 50 years, women's swim wear has changed dramatically. We have gone from a period of women frequenting bathing spots fully clothed to women going to the beaches with barely anything on at all. However, throughout these different eras in fashion, one swimsuit item has remained consistently popular and ever-changing along with the needs and desires of the modern woman, and that's the bikini. The bikini trend escalated in 1960 when the song Yellow Polka Dot Bikini sang by Brian Hyland became an international hit. Since that time, the bikini has become a common staple in the works of fashion designers all over the world.
