  • Story Text: PARIS, THE HOME OF THE BIKINI AND THE MONO-KINI, HAS NOW TAKEN ANOTHER CALCULATED RISK -- THE SEXYKINI. IT'S DESIGNER, NADIA ALJOURDAIN, OF THE HOUSE OF REARD, CLAIMS THAT IT WILL SWEEP THE BEACHES OF FRANCE. ANY OTHER SWIMMER WILL BE JUST UNFASHIONABLE.

    MADE FROM GOLD LAME, THE SEXYKINI WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY SALT WATER. THAT IS, SHOULD THE WEARER DECIDE THAT LOUNGING ON THE BEACH, THE CYNOSURE OF ALL EYES, IS TOO DULL AND TAKE, HERSELF, A CALCULATED RISK BY SWIMMING.

    THE 27-YEAR-OLD DESIGNER SAYS THAT THE MONO-KINI OF LAST YEAR WAS NOT A COMMERCIAL SUCCESS, ADDING THE CLAIM THAT HER CREATION ENHANCES RATHER THAN REVEALS. FAMOUS THEATRICAL NAMES PATRONISE THE HOUSE OF REARD; OF THESE MANY HAVE ORDERED THEIR SWIMSUIT FOR THIS SUMMER.

    WHETHER NADIA ALJOURDAIN'S IDEAS WILL ATTRACT CUSTOMERS, AND WHETHER THE CUSTOMERS WILL ATTRACT SPECTATORS ONLY THE BEACHES OF FRANCE IN 1965 CAN SAY.
