Commuter train, probably New York 1949 DW4910 Costume String haltered bandeau and sheath culotte. TML. Actions A model shows off the latest swimsuit fashions on a commuter train (1). Commentary The "latest" swimsuit fashion is a narrow bandeau coupled with a culotte that covers the belly button and obscures the crotch. Although the men on the train don't seem to mind, this is not what the French have in mind with the bikini, invented three years ago.
