With summer almost here, I wanted to pay tribute to the bikini.
For a piece of clothing with so little fabric, there is a lot of attention paid to it. Bikinis have been a source of fun but also of controversy since they came to market.
The following cluster celebrates some of the fun ideas surrounding the bikini.
Implications - The bikinis within this cluster are made out of everything from corn chips to bronzed metal. Although some of the bikinis are not logical to go to the beach in, they sure are interesting to look at! While browsing through the cluster you may find the inspiration to have the most creative bikini on the beach.
