MAIÔ Paris, an odyssey of style where the history of swimwear comes to life, and where the emblematic creation, the Montaigne one-piece swimsuit with ruffles, steals the show.

Let's delve into the fascinating history of swimwear, from its humble beginnings to the emergence of MAIÔ Paris and the iconic creation of the Montaigne ruffled swimsuit.

  • The evolution of swimwear through the ages
    The history of swimwear goes back to ancient times, but it was in the 19th century that the first steps towards modern design were taken. Originally, swimsuits were more like loose-fitting woollen dresses, designed to hide as much skin as possible. The Victorian era saw the emergence of popular seaside resorts where people bathed in woolen outfits, often heavy and impractical.
  • The Roaring Twenties and the Emancipation of Swimwear
    The 1920s marked a revolution in swimwear. Swimsuits began to fit more closely to the body, with shorter cuts and less restrictive fabrics. Women began to show a little more skin, reflecting the social and cultural change of the time. Bold patterns and innovative cuts became the norm, paving the way for an era of creativity in swimwear design.
