likesThe first season of CK bikinis (including Bondi Breeze and Caribbean Curves) were about half a band size small and one cup large. The bands were quite thin, with wide-set straps at the back, resulting in the clasp rotating. The sides of the cups were very, very high - quite possibly the highest sides I've ever experienced in any bra/bikini - and the wires were also quite high at the sides and centre. That said, the cups gave a better profile than most CK bras of the time.
In comparison, the bikinis of the next season (inc Pebble, Horizon etc) had slightly narrower and deeper cups, though they ran more true to size than before. The bands are wider and more true-to-size, so no issues with the clasp rotating. The sides are much lower, no issues with rubbing any more. I also found the shape to be way, way, way better for me - not a hint of upside down 7! Just nice and uplifted. I would definitely recommend the newer bikini cuts. The first season bikini cut could work for those who need slightly bigger cups and higher sides, but overall I think the updated cut will work for more people now.
