The Bikini

Description

Fashion model Natahli (Natalie) Nickerson Paine wearing a bikini, lying on a platform near water, Montego Bay, Jamaica, 1946. (Toni Frissell)

“Model Dovima was dressed in the first bikini to be seen away from France. Next to the Casablanca was a tall white diving platform up fifty feet. I called to the fisherman and asked if he would let my model pose below the diving board. The effect was remarkable. The picture won an art award the next year. Toni Frissell”
