The French sex kitten who was responsible for popularizing the bikini had a huge influence on the world of fashion. Bardot flew\u00a0in the face of the current norms while projecting her own image. She embodied style and her own personal style.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0Her daring to show her bare shoulders emerging from her top \u00a0was considered \u00a0very risque . This lead to In fashion, the Bardot neckline (a wide open neck that exposes both shoulders) is named after her. Bardot popularized this style which is especially used for knitted sweaters or jumpers .<\/p>\n

Bardot popularized the bikini\u00a0in her early films. Her personal style was that of the young blonde partialy clad in the new creation. As early as 1952\u00a0she was also photographed in a bikini on every beach in the south of France during the Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
