Colleen Kelly Designs Swimwear - Sports Illustrated Grid Iron 1-Piece

Sports Illustrated Grid Iron 1-Piece



Collection: Custom Couture
Style Number: 269


This sexy couture piece hearkens back to that classic Swimsuit Edition that inspired so many of us and defined what it meant to be a supermodel! Rough-cut from a classic vintage Sports Illustrated tee and designed as a nod to the great American sport of football, this gridiron chic design will make you the only thing they're talking about in that huddle! An adorable one-piece cut, in training-tee-gray, is buckled up front by a beautiful brass vintage football buckle that we sourced from one of our collectors. The side straps are made from an authentic BIKE jock strap and, so you have a place to store your phone or other "valuables," the front of the BIKE has been fashioned into an adorable removable pouch that you can wear on either side or go without. A minimalist Sports Illustrated logo from the tee remains placed, in fashionably simple form, up front in red. Around back on this particular design, the only back-style that would work is a cheeky quarterback, to which we added a classic logo patch behind the hip for a perfectly styled end-zone! No matter where you go in the world, you're sure to be a hit at the remotest of beaches in classic supermodel style!
This suit is sized medium, as shown on our model.


Each one of these custom couture designs is unique and considered as a piece of artwork created by designer Colleen Kelly. The vintage materials and artistic elements that go into creating these one-of-a-kind "swimsuits" were assembled from original collector, art, and memorabilia sources around the globe. Colleen’s 25+ years of swimwear design experience, along with her seasoned talent in styling for the fashion industry, went into each piece. You will find a perfect blending of the vintage logos, embellishments, and graphics of the subject pop culture icons, bands, or artists featured in the design with the sexy, streamlined fitting requirements of the woman’s body. They aren’t "cheap" but they are more than worth the premium price for celebrities, artists, photographers, and customers that need a custom "styled" look to maintain their image.

Some of these items are rare and irreplaceable, which precludes them from being recreated in most cases, as only original items were used. The inherent value, and sometimes fragile nature, of these collector items makes it very difficult to manufacture more than one piece and prohibits us from offering returns, exchanges & etcetera, so all sales are final.
