Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...rising up from the depths of creativity to envelop your deadly curves, we bring you the Vintage JAWS Tank!
Cut from an authentic Universal Studios JAWS tee, "you're going to need a bigger boat" for all the shark hunters looking to trap you in their nets! This fearsome design blends a plunging "shark bite" neckline with sexy high-arched dorsal side cuts and a splashy quarterback back-style. The graphics up front feature the original movie poster from the 1975 hit JAWS and blend perfectly with the haunting "duh, duh...duh, duh" bubbles that originally graced the back of the collectible tee and now wrap around your hips and tail. Pried right out of the transom of the "Orca" and to add that final touch of shark-chic, a gigantic shark tooth buckle pulls it all together in front. Get your hooks into this one before summer's over and it dives back into the abyss!
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.
