The Evolution of the Swim Suit
Jessica Rey - The evolution of the swim suit
Fashion matters. It influences the imagination and drives the way people
uniquely represent themselves. The evolution of the women's swimsuit is
one place where there has been a visible shift away from modesty.
In
the current world of swimwear, small is often beautiful and less is
considered more desirable. But designer and actress Jessica Rey asks,
"Who says it has to be itsy bitsy?" Rey argues that within the construct
of modesty, there is a freedom—that modesty isn't about covering up
what's bad, but about revealing dignity.
