Monokini
The monokini was originally a topless swimsuit that exposed the female breasts and in modern designs features large cut-outs at the sides, front and back. It can also refer to the bottom piece of a bikini which is sometimes referred to as a unikini. The topless design was first conceived by designer Rudi Gernreich in 1963 as a protest against repressive society. He initially did not intend to produce the design commercially, but was persuaded by Susanne Kirtland of Look to make it available to the public. When the first photograph of the swimsuit modeled by Peggy Moffitt was published in Womens Wear Daily on June 4, 1962, it generated a great deal of controversy in the United States and internationally. The suit was first worn publicly by Carol Doda in San Francisco at the Condor Nightclub. That event ushered in the era of topless nightclubs in the United States.
