It looks like bikinis are set to get very skimpy this summer.
Models have hit the runway in swimsuit shows at New York Fashion Week where the adage "less is more" is being well and truly embraced.
At Revival Swimwear's show this week models strutted down the catwalk in extremely high-cut swimsuits.
While it's a trend that's clearly going nowhere anytime soon, high-cut bikinis have proved divisive with shoppers labelling them a "monstrosity" and totally impractical.
