Colleen Kelly Designs Classic Swimwear Collection - Custom Couture

Here you will find Custom Couture pieces by swimwear designer Colleen Kelly that have been made available for purchase. Each one of these “works of art” is made from vintage elements that have been carefully selected, assembled, and combined from collector sources around the world. They are one of a kind and, because of the time involved to create them and the rarity of the materials, once sold, they're gone. We do add new ones as they become available, so check back with us. If you’ve got an idea that you don’t see here or would like info on designing your own custom logo suits for your business, send us an e-mail to discuss the design options or just e-mail a request to be added to our special couture list to receive updates as new couture suits become available.

Colleen Kelly Designs Swimwear Image: Playboy Bunny Ruffle Tankini Quick View

Playboy Bunny Ruffle Tankini


Swimwear Style #221

 

Originally designed for a Playboy celebrity editorial, this sexy tankini is made from an original Playboy promotional tee and cut dramatically to exude that perfect balance of cover and skin. The design features a wide, plunging neck-line that pairs with smoothly arcing side-cuts for an ultra sexy one-piece look. Adorable pink hip ruffles accent the sides to give you a flirtatiously "girly" feel. The back is our popular, form-flattering, Halfback. It probably goes without saying, but this suit is semi sheer when wet. After all, that's not the Easter bunny up front!

Rough-cut sleeves, belted bottoms, a sexy halfback, criss-cross bandeau back straps, and a big classic Rolling Stones tongue buckle...need we say more?! Maybe the boys will just have to invite you on stage in this!

Retro Pepsi One Piece


Swimwear Style #273

 

The choice of a new generation and just the thing to quench that thirst for something a little sexier this summer! Designed with a new twist on classic, this high-cut couture was fashioned from a retro Pepsi-Cola tee and features a low, rough-cut neckline, with a narrow front panel, tapered criss-cross back-straps, and a little of that refreshingly sexy side boob. Down below, you're sure to be everyone's number one choice in a flirty quarterback. A beautifully braided worn-leather belt accents the hips and the design is finished off with an age-worn Pepsi belt buckle. You're a new generation of sexy!
*The suit available is the suit shown on our model in size Small/Medium.

Sports Illustrated Grid Iron 1-Piece


Swimwear Style #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!

SOLD Colleen Kelly Designs Swimwear Image: Right to Bear Arms - Black Quick View

Right to Bear Arms - Black


Swimwear Style #268

 

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed!"

The first one sold so quickly, with record numbers of requests for more, so we did it again in black!
Wear it proudly! You already exemplify the bold spirit of America, showing you're not afraid to flaunt what ya got and exercise your freedom to express yourself! This incredibly striking suit brings together your strong side with the sex appeal you wield as your weapon of choice. Colleen sourced a set of vintage 80s Tees with a classic neckline from one of our collectors and paired them with vintage hand-made ammo belts and .223 bullet necklace. The T-shirt bears the scrolling 2nd Amendment over an American bald eagle and has been styled with tactical cut-outs on the sides that mirror the scrolls in this classic graphic, while adding just the right amount of skin to leave no doubt who's leading the charge!

Right to Bear Arms


Swimwear Style #267

 

This incredibly striking suit brings together your strong side with the sex appeal you wield as your weapon of choice. Colleen sourced a vintage 80s Tee with a classic neckline from one of our collectors and paired it with a vintage hand-made ammo belt and .223 bullet necklace. The T-shirt bears the scrolling 2nd Amendment over an American bald eagle and has been styled with tactical cut-outs on the sides that mirror the scrolls in this classic graphic, while adding just the right amount of skin to leave no doubt who's leading the charge! Around back, you'll find a laced racerback up top and a cheeky quarterback below that's cut to guarantee that your troops are right behind you! And for one of the best parts...the ammo belt was made by hand back in the 70s with love by a young marksman and holds tiny .22LR shells, which really set this design off!

SOLD Colleen Kelly Designs Swimwear Image: Mustang Ranch Quick View

Mustang Ranch


Swimwear Style #265

 

Exceedingly rare and an irreplaceable piece of Americana, this specially designed piece is a tribute to that no-holds-barred freedom of the early days of the Nevada scene and that 1970s sexual expression that made Joe Conforte and his Mustang Ranch famous. Colleen had to pry this original early, and very rare, Mustang Ranch tee from the hands of a collector and began by fashioning it into a sexy streamlined one-piece with classic elements of lingerie in a beautiful belted design. The front is fastened by a rare, original vintage, Mustang Ranch belt buckle and a hot little quarterback shows of your cheeky side around back. Garter straps hang from the side and a one-of-a-kind Mustang Ranch keychain hangs on one hip with the keys to an admirer's 1960s Mercury. Now those keys and keyring belonged to one of the Ranch's original early customers and were lost for nearly four decades, resurfacing recently at an estate sale, long after that Mercury drove off into history.

Superman Shredded Shield


Swimwear Style #264

 

Torn from battle with the world's arch-villains, this heroic design was custom shredded around the iconic shield logo of a classic Superman Tee and chained together with Kryptonite-proof shoulder and hip straps. Colleen artfully shear-cut all around this flattering one-piece design, while maintaining the look of the original collection tee. Around back, is a sexy shredded thong, with strategically-placed cutting, that is sure to get some heads turning faster than a speeding bullet.
The suit in the gallery is the one-and-only in size SMALL to MEDIUM.

Each one of these Custom Couture swimsuits is a “work of art” made from vintage elements that have been carefully sourced, assembled, and combined from around the world. This makes them difficult or impossible to reproduce, so once sold, they're gone. We add new ones as they become available, so check back with us. For an update on newly available couture suits, send us an e-mail requesting to be added to the special couture list.
