Andy Warhol loved to be photographed but was an uneasy model. “He was 100 percent awkward,” said photographer Christopher Makos, a close friend and confidant of Warhol’s, and from 1976 to 1986, part of The Factory, Warhol’s studio in New York City. “Andy was all about his hands,” Makos told WWD. “He didn’t know what to do with them. What makes it so fascinating is that here you have one of the major artists of the times not knowing what to do in front of the camera.” On Monday, Ralph Pucci International, located at 44 West 18th Street in Manhattan, launches an exhibition of photographs of Warhol taken by Makos, drawn from Makos’ book published last year entitled “Warhol Modeling Portfolio Makos.” The book exposes the lesser-known modeling phase of Warhol’s life.

Today, bikinis are one of the most popular forms of swimwear, but they weren’t always considered commonplace. While tiny two-piece swimsuits date back to ancient Rome, the first bikini wasn’t technically invented until the 1940s. Throughout the conservative ’50s, bikinis caused controversy. They even attracted the attention of the Pope, who shamed them as sinful. As tides changed in the ’60s, however, bikinis went from scandalous to mainstream. Pop culture icons like Brigitte Bardot and Raquel Welch made the new form of swimwear fashionable. By the ’90s, bikinis began to evolve. New styles like the microkini spawned entire industries as Brazilian waxing and spray tanning took off. The ongoing endurance of the bikini is proof that shifting social norms have lasting affects on fashion trends. Here, a look at the evolution of the bikini. Ancient Rome: The Start of the Bikini Mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily, Italy. One of the first large-scale depictions of the bikini exists i...
