In our continuous effort to create slings that are different from one another while using the simplest of elements, here we have an extreme plunge in front with small patches held together at the neck only by a tiny knot...this incredibly wearable design captures the imagination, begging the question of "How does that thing stay on anyway?!"
In another "We did it first" moment, here is proof we started the "star top" design way back in 2007 when we formally brought the star sling to our catalog, after having designed a few prototypes years earlier exclusively for magazine editorials. Here we perfected the design enough to sell formally and decided on a metallic lamé with metallic straps, making it at the time a pioneering effort and an incredibly unique and stunning result!
We keep getting skimpier and skimpier!...like here in this unapologetic confluence of elements, where scalloped oval conchos on top connect to a suede or denim bottom by the skimpiest of straps. We finish off this bold and daring slingshot design with a buckle on the bottom front and suede tassels with pony beads on top.
This wonder of a design actually fits great and is the ultimate in an expression of freedom - an open sided slingshot with a perfectly intertwined pulley system, expertly balanced stars to stripes ratio and placement that covers just what it needs to...this hot sling makes quite a statement!
Epic! Never was more of a declaration of freedom packed into one design than this - our version of the flag-themed "slingshot." From the plunging V-front to the string straight up the back in classic flag proportions. Never formally in a catalog, we thought it too ubiquitous at the time. Little did we know that time was fleeting, and this has now become a nostalgic and highly sought after piece...a collectible indeed. *Just for fun, we also offer this one in the neon pink and neon yellow slick fabric, as those stand-out-proudly colors were everywhere back then!
In a surprise design twist, we created this unique one piece with more coverage on top that then dramatically tapers down to a skimpy bottom. Sexy slingshots are a Colleen Kelly specialty! This hot little bathing suit, cut in a blend of beautiful tropical floral prints and balanced with soft denims and exotic cheetah straps, flaunts your curves in a streamlined and very flattering effect by leaving you bare at the hips. Up top, the bandeau design is scrunched (or ruched) in the middle and connects to bottoms at the sides. Straps on the top tie in back and are fully adjustable. In the back, both bottom straps tie in cute little bows just above the thong, giving this design a very uniquely custom look.
Is this where the phrase "nauti nautical" originated? In the mid 2000's, we designed a series of provocative daring, silhouettes with scoops, and cutouts and peek-a-boos with added bold chain. This expressive sling has open sides high waisted, surprise "under-boob," and gold chain connected to ring accents, all paired with classic nautical solids. Happy Sailing!
It is the set of sails not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go - Unknown
Keep a keen eye aloft with this one mate...we're running fast and hard over! Named for the essential spar that supports the mast of a sailing vessel in the strongest of winds, the "spreader," the cut of this elegant suit will accentuate your graceful curves and keep you in control of anything that blows your way! Made of durable, soft buckskin, with gleaming gold embellishments, and of course, rigged with a strappy pulley system to hoist all sails and keep you lookin' shipshape!
