History: Bikini In 1940-50's

Mankini
Mankini is a type of sling bikini worn by men. It was popularized by Sacha Baron Cohen when he donned one in the film Borat. The buzz around the film started building during the Cannes Film Festival in May 2006, when Baron Cohen posed in character on the beach in a neon green mankini, alongside four models. According to one fashion expert, suspenders combined with bikini briefs or panties form an unaesthetic pattern.
