History Today: When the bikini was first introduced in Paris and revolutionised women's fashion
On July 5, 1946, Louis Réard shocked Paris — and the world — with the debut of the bikini, a revolutionary swimsuit that would become an enduring symbol of freedom and modernity, challenging social norms and redefining women's fashion — and confidence read more Contestants pose for a group photo for the swimsuit section of the Miss Universe pageant in Cancun, Mexico, May 11, 2007. File Image/Reuters As part of Firstpost's History Today series, July 5 ranks as a culturally transformative date. In 1946, in post‑war Paris, the daring debut of the bikini by engineer Louis Réard stirred waves across fashion and women's liberation. Five decades later, in 1996, Dolly the sheep was born near Edinburgh — the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell. On July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first Black man to win Wimbledon, and in 1962, Algeria officially attained independence from France after a brutal war. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The bikini debuts in Paris On a sunny afternoon in July 1946, the tranquil elegance of Paris was upended by the unveiling of a swimsuit so daring it would reverberate through fashion — and cultural history. At the Piscine Molitor, a glamorous Art Deco pool in the 16th arrondissement, French engineer-turned-fashion designer Louis Réard introduced what he called the bikini — a two-piece swimsuit revealing the wearer's navel for the first time in swimwear. The aftermath of World War II set the stage for radical change in social norms. Fabric rationing during the war led to minimalist swimwear trends in the 1930s, a precursor to what was to come. Two French designers — Jacques Heim, who launched the 'Atome' swimsuit that left the navel covered, and Réard, who aimed for something far more audacious — seized upon the era's growing appetite for liberation. Réard, who ran a lingerie shop left to him by his mother near the Folies Bergère, was struck by women at St. Tropez tucking in their swimwear at the waist to tan their midriffs. Inspired, he engineered a garment with minimal fabric — just 30 square inches, connected by strings — that would break all sensual and sartorial boundaries. The choice of name was deliberate and provocative. On July 1, 1946, the US had conducted Operation Crossroads atomic tests at Bikini Atoll. Réard seized on the pun — his swimsuit would have a similarly explosive impact on fashion consciousness. Named 'bikini,' it linked a physical revelation with nuclear symbolic force. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Réard needed a grand stage: Piscine Molitor — nicknamed the 'White Ocean Liner' — an Art Deco landmark reopened after German occupation, brimming with Parisian elegance and optimism. To generate maximum attention, Réard scheduled an outdoor press preview on July 5. But no professional model would step forward for such a scandalous design. Finally, he recruited Micheline Bernardini, an exotic dancer at the Casino de Paris. At 19 years old, she became the face of this new swimwear era. Bernardini emerged onto the pool deck wearing a newsprint-patterned bikini that left her midriff — and, shockingly (at the time), her navel — bare.

She is holding a small box into which the entire costume can be packed. File Image/Hulton Archive A hush fell over the audience: 3,000 spectators and the press, stunned and captivated. It was the smallest swimsuit ever seen in swimwear, one Réard dared say could 'be pulled through a wedding ring.' The reaction was electric. Conservative European nations — Italy, Spain, Belgium — banned the garment on moral grounds. Catholic leaders denounced it as immodest. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD American newspapers initially ignored the reveal, focusing on the nuclear tests. But gradually, the bikini's shockwaves spread internationally. History Extra noted Réard's flair for publicity — skywriters advertised the bikini above Cannes with slogans like 'smaller than the world's smallest bathing suit.' Media outlets responded: Micheline Bernardini received over 50,000 fan letters, primarily from men, as the suit sparked both fascination and scandal. Despite early resistance, the bikini began to permeate beach culture — first on the Mediterranean and then globally. By the 1950s and 1960s, Hollywood icons like Brigitte Bardot and Ursula Andress wore bikinis onscreen, normalising them and reinforcing their association with youth and modern freedom. Bardot in particular popularised the bikini's French Riviera chic, while Andress's white bikini in Dr. No (James Bond) became a fashion milestone. Still in the US, the bikini remained controversial until the sexual revolution of the 1960s, when increased emphasis on sexual liberation propelled its adoption in mainstream American beaches. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Réard understood that sensationalism sold. He patented the bikini on July 19, 1946, and kept fuelling its mystique through clever marketing: the wedding-ring slogan, skywriting campaigns, flamboyant promotional vehicles (like a Packard 'road yacht' carrying bikini-clad models) and celebrity endorsements. The original design — four triangles, string-joined, newsprint-clad — highlighted Réard's engineering background, merging technical minimalism with striking aesthetics. Its intentional contrast to conservative one-pieces was a statement of modernity. Decades later, Réard's bikini endures. International Bikini Day is celebrated annually on July 5, honouring the radical spirit of Réard's unveiling. The bikini remains a billion-dollar industry and a symbol of feminist empowerment and body positivity — though its cultural journey reflects ongoing tensions around modesty, sexuality and female representation. Academic studies highlight its significance: Réard's garment sparked 'a psychological link between atomic destruction and sexuality,' and scholar Diana Vreeland dubbed it the 'atom bomb of fashion.' He successfully trivialised nuclear dread by fusing it with liberation and desire. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As women reclaimed their bodies and public spaces, the bikini became host, symbol, and testament to a shifting world. Réard's engineering genius and daring marketing acumen ensured its lasting place in history — and in wardrobes worldwide. Dolly the sheep is born On July 5, 1996, at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, scientists made history with the birth of Dolly the Finn-Dorset sheep, the world's first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell. The world's first clone of an adult animal, Dolly the sheep, stands in her pen at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, February 23, 1997. File Image/Reuters Born from a mammary gland cell wired into an enucleated egg and implanted in a surrogate, Dolly shattered scientific dogma: mature cells could be reprogrammed to create a whole organism. Her 1997 unveiling sparked controversy and excitement. Though not the first clone, Dolly proved adult-cell cloning was viable, opening avenues in stem-cell research and ethics. She gave birth to six lambs and lived until 2003, but suffered lung disease possibly linked to premature ageing. Professor Ian Wilmut is reflected in a mirror as he poses for photographs after a news conference in Edinburgh, February 8, 2005. Wilmut who created Dolly the sheep, the world's first cloned mammal, was granted a licence to clone human embryos for medical research. File Image/Reuters Today, Dolly's preserved remains stand at the National Museum of Scotland as a symbol of scientific breakthrough. Arthur Ashe wins Wimbledon On July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe, an American tennis pioneer, stunned the world by becoming the first Black man to win the Wimbledon Men's Singles title, defeating reigning champ Jimmy Connors in four sets (6–1, 6–1, 5–7, 6–4). Ashe, who had already made history by winning the US Open in 1968 and Australian Open in 1970, overcame discrimination and segregation en route to the Centre Court victory . STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD His triumph transcended sport: Ashe became a global symbol of racial equality and leadership, publicly advocating for civil rights and AIDS awareness. His Wimbledon win remains a celebrated milestone in tennis as well as in the struggle for social justice. The main stadium of the US Open tennis tournament is named after Ashe. Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, widow of the late Arthur Ashe, sits next to a plaque that was unveiled at the formal dedication of the new Arthur Ashe Stadium at the at the US Open in New York, August 25, 1997. The tribute included over 40 past champions of the US Open. File Image/Reuters Algeria gains independence On July 5, 1962, Algeria officially gained independence from France after a protracted eight-year liberation war, marking the end of 132 years of colonial rule. The conflict began in November 1954, with the FLN waging fierce guerrilla tactics. It drew international attention for its brutality — both French repression and FLN terrorism. Following a 1962 referendum granting self-determination, France recognised independence on July 3, and Algeria celebrated on July 5 — the anniversary of France's 1830 invasion, symbolically reclaiming the date. The first President, Ahmed Ben Bella, called on Algerians to 'build history with our hands.' Independence Day remains a cornerstone of Algerian national identity. With inputs from agencies

Will New Baba Vanga's Quake Prophecy Come True? Look-Back At Mega Japan Disasters As Experts Say...
Last Updated: Ryo Tatsuki's Watashi ga Mita Mirai has gained attention for its seemingly accurate references to past events including the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. It is July 5 – the day that was prophesied to bring a mega earthquake in Japan. The prediction comes from a popular Japanese manga titled Watashi ga Mita Mirai, Kanzenban (The Future That I Saw, Complete Edition) which was first published in 1999. The book, based on the dreams of artist Ryo Tatsuki, has gained attention over the years for its seemingly accurate references to past events including the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Many people online began revisiting the manga's warning, especially a line on its cover that reads: 'The real disaster will come in July 2025." In the story, characters talk about a natural disaster in which 'the ocean floor between Japan and the Philippines will crack" and trigger massive waves that are higher than those seen in 2011. While the manga has no scientific basis, the prediction has sparked widespread interest and anxiety. 'Prophetic Manga' Ryo Tatsuki's Watashi ga Mita Mirai is often described as a 'prophetic manga." Fans believe it accurately foresaw several major global events including the deaths of Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. But it gained serious attention after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami struck Japan in March 2011. The manga had mentioned a 'massive disaster in March 2011" on its cover which was published more than a decade earlier. This connection led many to take the latest warning about July 2025 seriously. Social media platforms have been flooded with posts and videos about the so-called prediction. Experts say that while some major earthquakes including the 2011 disaster, were preceded by smaller tremors known as foreshocks, these are rare and not reliable indicators. A Bloomberg report also noted that such foreshocks occur only once in several hundred cases. Even Ryo Tatsuki has addressed the speculation. According to Reuters, she clarified that she is 'not a prophet." She urged people not to be 'overly swayed" by her dreams and 'act appropriately based on expert opinions." Spike In Quakes Around Tokara Islands Adds To Anxiety A remote and sparsely populated chain of islands in southern Japan has been experiencing an unusual spike in seismic activity which has caused concern among residents. Since June 21, more than 900 earthquakes have reportedly been recorded around the Tokara Island chain with a magnitude 5.5 tremor striking the area on Wednesday, July 2. While no major damage has been reported and no tsunami warning has been issued, authorities have urged residents to stay alert and prepare for possible evacuation, according to the BBC. Only about 700 people live on seven of the 12 Tokara islands. As per local media reports, the area has experienced clusters of earthquakes in the past but the frequency of the most recent tremors has been unusual. 'It's very scary to even fall asleep. It feels like it's always shaking," one resident said. While the manga's disaster may be fictional, scientists have long warned of a megaquake especially because Japan is located along the 'Ring of Fire," a region known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. The country experiences up to 2,000 noticeable quakes every year and accounts for about 20 percent of all magnitude 6 or higher earthquakes globally. Japanese authorities have been preparing for what is called the 'once-in-a-century" Nankai Trough megaquake. The Nankai Trough is an 800-km undersea trench off the coast of southern Japan. Experts estimate there is an 80 percent chance of a magnitude 9 earthquake occurring there before 2055. If that happens, it could kill up to three lakh people. Japan's History Of Deadly Earthquakes 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami: A 9.0-magnitude quake struck off Japan's northeast coast on March 11, 2011. Over 18,000 died in the disaster which also caused the Fukushima nuclear disaster. It remains the most powerful quake in Japan's history. 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake: This 7.9-magnitude quake hit the Tokyo and Yokohama regions on September 1, 1923. Over one lakh people died. 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake: More than 6,000 people lost their lives when a region near Kobe was struck by a 6.9-magnitude earthquake on January 17, 1995. 1948 Fukui Earthquake: On June 28, 1948, a 7.1 earthquake devastated Fukui Prefecture and killed 3,700 people. 2004 Chūetsu Earthquake: Though smaller at 6.6 magnitude, this quake on October 23, 2004, caused significant damage in Niigata Prefecture and led to 68 deaths.

Oasis singer Liam Gallagher apologises for using racial slur on social media post: ‘I do not discriminate'
Liam Gallagher of Oasis has issued an unconditional apology for using a racial slur in a now-deleted social media post earlier this week. The singer took to Twitter (now called X) on Wednesday to write his apology and emphasised that he does not discriminiate. Liam Gallagher of Oasis performs, during the first of their sellout comeback shows, at the Cardiff Principality Stadium, in Cardiff, Wales, Britain, July 4, 2025. REUTERS/Suzanne Plunkett (REUTERS) Liam Gallagher's apology "Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn't intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. peace and love LG x," Liam wrote in the apology post. Liam Gallagher's apology on Twitter. Earlier in the week, Liam posted and then deleted a tweet that contained a widely used racial slur for East Asian people. The tweet is still available to view via screenshots, and has earned the Oasis star criticism from social media users. One user wrote, "Liam, you can't say that." He replied, "Why," which was met with another user writing back, "Cuz it's racist." The singer subsequently responded by writing, "Behave!" However, in the days since, Liam not only deleted the post but also issued an apology. The apology has, however, irked some of the band's fans, who feel that Liam need not say sorry and the statement was just 'mild banter'. Liam Gallagher's offensive post came shortly ahead of Oasis' long-awaited reunion tour, which will begin in Wales this Saturday. The English rock band announced the tour last September, first revealing dates for the U.K. before announcing dates in the U.S., Canada and Mexico soon after. The band recently revealed they would be releasing an accompanying film tied to the concerts as well, directed by Steven Knight. About Oasis Oasis is a British rock band fronted by Liam and his brother, Noel Gallagher. The brothers' relationship has been notoriously fraught in the past, with the group officially breaking up 15 years ago, making their reunion tour one of the most anticipated concert tours of 2025.
