1946

by Toni Frissell

Fashion model Natahli (Natalie) Nickerson Paine wearing a bikini, lying on a platform near water, Montego Bay, Jamaica, 1946.

“Model Dovima was dressed in the first bikini to be seen away from France. Next to the Casablanca was a tall white diving platform up fifty feet. I called to the fisherman and asked if he would let my model pose below the diving board. The effect was remarkable. The picture won an art award the next year."
