Bikini Day is the bikini's birthday invented on July 5, 1946 by Louis Réard, who was actually a car engineer. He offered the bikini to his mother who had a clothing company and gave the bathing suit the name Bikini for the island where atomic experiments were being held, because he claimed the swimsuit he invented would generate "atomic" enthusiasm.
