Modus Vivendi Gelato Swimwear: Summer, Served

The Gelato Line Hits the Beach
Inspired by the vibrant colours and smooth textures of melting summer gelato, the Gelato Swimwear Line is Modus Vivendi at its most playful — luxury beachwear with a wink and a bold sense of fun.
The Gelato Low Cut Swim Brief takes everything the brand is known for — sensual cut, contemporary luxury, premium finish — and pours it into a print that looks good enough to eat. It's a swim brief built to stand out under the brightest sun, and to make summer feel like a treat.
An All-Over Ice-Cream Print
The signature of the line is a striking, all-over customised Gelato print — a melting, sun-drenched effect that flows across the whole brief. It's colour done with confidence: soft at the top, deep and saturated below, like a scoop caught mid-melt.
The cut sits low on the hips for a sculpted, body-enhancing line, finished with a sewn transparent rubber Modus Vivendi logo label for a modern designer touch. Fun on the surface, seriously well made underneath.
"Summer, served in swimwear form. A scoop of colour you can wear."
Two Scoops. Pick Your Flavour.
Strawberry. Strawberry pink melting into deep magenta — sweet, bold and turned all the way up. The one that reads pure summer from across the pool.
Lemon. Fresh lemon-butter yellow melting into vibrant yellow — zesty, sun-bright and made to catch the light. A citrus hit for the beach.
Both flavours share the same low-cut silhouette and premium quick-drying print — it just comes down to how you like your summer served.
Premium Quick-Dry Print
The brief is built from a premium quick-drying printed fabric — an 80% polyester, 20% elastane blend that holds the colour crisp, moves with you and dries fast once you're out of the sea or pool. A front lining in fast-drying elasticated fabric keeps the fit clean and secure.
Designed & made in Greece. The stretch blend gives a close, sculpted fit while the quick-dry face keeps the print sharp and the silhouette smooth — poolside to bar with no fuss.
Treat it like all good printed swimwear: turn it inside out and hand wash in warm water with a mild detergent, keep it away from rough surfaces, and air dry — never tumble dry or bleach — to protect the print.
How It Sizes Up
This is a body-conscious, low-cut bikini brief — expect a snug, sculpted feel rather than a relaxed beach short. Because the fabric contains elastane, sizing is flexible: if you're between sizes and want a tighter fit, size down; for a more relaxed fit, size up.
Available in sizes S–XL (waist 28–36"). Check the size guide on each product page against your waist measurement before ordering.
Build the Full Resort Look
The Gelato line goes well beyond the brief. The wider collection also includes classic swim briefs, jogging swim shorts, timeless swim shorts and a matching bucket hat — everything you need for a coordinated, head-to-toe resortwear look in the same signature print.
How to Wear It
Let the print be the hero and keep everything else easy. An open linen shirt, a plain tank or a matching Gelato bucket hat ties the look together without competing with the colour. Minimal accessories, maximum sun — the brief is already the statement.
Gelato Swimwear FAQs
It's Modus Vivendi's playful, summer-inspired swimwear line, built around an all-over melting ice-cream print. At Bang & Strike it launches with the Low Cut Swim Brief in two flavours — Strawberry and Lemon.
Two: Strawberry (strawberry pink melting into deep magenta) and Lemon (lemon-butter yellow melting into vibrant yellow). Both are available in sizes S to XL.
A premium quick-drying printed fabric — 80% polyester, 20% elastane — with a fast-drying elasticated front lining. It's designed and made in Greece.
Because the fabric contains elastane, sizing is flexible. For a tighter, sculpted fit size down; for a more relaxed fit size up. Always check the size guide against your waist measurement (S–XL covers roughly a 28–36" waist).
Turn it inside out and hand wash in warm water with a mild detergent, avoid rough surfaces, and air dry in the shade. Never tumble dry or bleach — that keeps the colour and stretch intact.
