From whom did "the bikini" become famous?

my dad took my brother and me to watch millionYears BC . I think it was the only time he took us to the cinema . It was a few years later that I realised why he took us . 😆 🤣

I Sell vintage bikinis from the vintage 60s 70s 80s, people love them

I know that bikini is linked to these isles but never knew about the history of the bikini or that model.
