Few images in this world are as ingrained in our retinas as the iconic Farrah Fawcett 1976 Swimsuit Poster. In this case, our obsession with it focused on the background of this legendary photo, where what seems to be a painted wall, is actually a Mexican blanket – or Sarape - that was held vertically behind Fawcett as an improvised backdrop during the photos session.
So, we put our BANG! magic to work and came up with an exact replica of that Sarape with its same progression of colors and patterns to adapt it into this men’s swimsuit for the summer. Check out also its matching companion accessory, the “Fawcett Sarape Beach Towel” or the Complete Series and get ready to get countless iconic photos taken with them.
To create our Swim Sungas we went back to the roots and then applied some of our signature BANG! tweaks to it. The starting point was the pattern of an original Brazilian sunga from the 90s, as based on the MMA shorts of jiu-jitsu fighters that back in the day were adapted to use in the water for the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.
Then we started cutting and accentuating some of the curved lines to spice up its sexiness factor, and to bring it to some middle ground between the shape of our acclaimed Swim Briefs and the form of our new square-cut Swim Trunks. Still, we kept the construction tight around the legs while easy around the waist, to maintain the essence of the Brazilian Men’s Sunga. And true to the original, we kept the silhouette plain and free of any accents, pockets, or accessories.
The result is the BANG!® Swim Sunga now ready to be rocked from sand to poolside.
