Paris, July 5, 1946: the Molitor swimming pool is the setting for an open-air swimsuit competition. In the jury, we note the presence of ANDREX and Paulette DUBOST. The male elements of the audience and the jury seem as interested in the anatomy of the beautiful girls as in the models they wear. The winner is number 12, to whom Madeleine SOLOGNE gives the cup. It should be noted that this is a "historic" day since it was on July 5, 1946 that the dancer Micheline Bernardini made a sensation wearing for the very first time a tiny two-piece jersey invented by Louis Reard, named "Bikini". The fashion was on.
