Men’s underwear, swimwear and athletic loungewear brand Modus Vivendi is starting the presentation of its Spring Summer 2016 collection with the new Perforated Line. The line comprises underwear and tank tops in four colour variations, designed to combine two main fashion trends for this season: colour blocking and powdery pastels.
The underwear of the Perforated line come in three distinctive cuts: mini briefs, briefs and boxers. They all feature side and back panels made from a cotton based, high quality sporty mesh to allow moisture wicking and contrasting, solid, cotton based, pouch. These playful designs are perfect not only for the gym but for any other activity and every occasion. The colourways are trendy and modern combining powdery pastels with bold classics. The tank top of this line is a versatile, slim fit design with stylish, contrasting neck and arm trims which you can wear at the gym, as street wear with your favourite jeans or to match the underwear of this line.
For the first part of its extensive Spring Summer 2016 campaign, Modus Vivendi chose talented Greek photographer George Kostopoulos and new face, model Alexios Charistos. This campaign is called P4 which stands for the four new colour combinations of this line and its design elements: Playful, Perforated and Powdery Pastels.

Modus Vivendi completes its Autumn/Winter 2016 collection with a new line of underwear, singlets and accessories made from Italian velvet. This new line is called Virtus and it combines the soft, soothing touch of velvet with relaxed, sexy styles. The name Virtus derives from the Latin word ‘vir’, which means ‘man’ and has the connotations of courage, manliness and excellence. These new garments are unfussy, masculine and practical and should appeal to men who are uncomplicated, young at heart and fun. On a cold winter’s night they are perfect for relaxing at home and with just a touch of spice to the look they should keep you extra warm!
The photographer we called on to shoot the campaign for the Virtus Line is Kevin Slack, someone who understands not only the steamy sensuality of hot men, but who can convey feeling and character brilliantly. His photographs seem to have a special ability to draw you in – or is that the models he uses… Leaving momentarily his favourite destination, Cuba, Slack worked on the shoot in Toronto, Canada and found the perfect partner for the campaign in model Cianan. We think his amazing, athletic build and his bright, honest face suit the playful, sexy character of this line well and are very pleased with the outcome: a stunning campaign, creative, welcoming and sexy, just like the new Virtus Line by Modus Vivendi.

If you are new to swim briefs, you may not want to jump in head first with one of the boldest and brightest colors. We looked through many brands to find great pairs that won’t be too out there but still super sexy. Wearing a swim brief can be liberating on a beach, you feel like you’re wearing nothing!
Here are 5 great swim briefs to start off wearing.
2EROS Beach Club – This pair is available in navy and yellow. It is classic cut with a seamless design. So there is no seam down the front or the back. The draw string adds a bit of an accent to the pair. The back has the 2EROS logo on the back. The Beach Club retails for $49.95 AUD
aussieBum Swish – Are you a fan of just a simple classic swim brief? The Swish line from aussieBum is that. Made out of solid colors with a low rise and 2 inch sides. It reminds you of competition swim briefs swimmers used to wear. Its classic but still fun. Available in 9 colors. The Swish is available for $25.42
Modus Vivendi Classic Brief – Modus Vivendi can make some over the top pairs of underwear. Their swimwear has been very sexy. The release of the Classic line brought the Classic brief. It shows that classic can be just as sexy! This pair is available in approximately 5 colors. The Classic brief retails for 38.50 Euros
Cocksox Retro Swim Brief – It may seem crazy that we include Cocksox, because they are known for their amazing pouch that shows everything off. However, they have styles that have a more classic pouch. The Retro Swim briefs is one of those pairs. Still made with the Cocksox quality and a regular pouch. The stripe on the side makes it super sporty. The Retro Swim Brief retails for $49.00
CA-RIO-CA Verde Low Rise – CA-RIO-CA is a brand that many of you may or may not know. They are bringing the Brazilian Sunga to the US. The Sunga is a bit bigger that traditional US swim Briefs. This is the Low Rise brief. They make bigger Traditional Sungas. You can express your personality with prints and colors. The Verde retails for $89.95
These are a few suggestions and we will run more closer to summer!
This picture just says Modus Vivendi. Its one of their most recognizable pairs, the Sumo Brief. The photography featuring their Greek heritage is some of my favorite in the world of underwear.

In response to the runaway success of its 2015 swimwear line, which included new Mondrian Brief and Brazil Cut swimwear, Modus Vivendi has brought out a whole new Mondrian-inspired line of underwear and sportswear for its Autumn/Winter 2015-2016 collection.
Inspired by the abstract paintings of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, the new line uses strong colour blocks in rectangular form to create a bold visual impact and an upbeat, confident style. Briefs, boxers and tank tops come in strong colour palettes, with pure reds, yellows and blues combining with absolute black and white.
The collection is handcrafted in Greece by Modus Vivendi’s skilled artisans using the finest materials available.
English photographer Gavin Harrison was selected to create the images for the new campaign. His experience in the world of fine art, his appreciation of colour and direct photographic style made him the perfect choice. The photo shoot took place in Leicester, England and featured new boy Phillip Sharp from Celsius Models. Strong images and a strong collection for Autumn/Winter 2015-2016.

Do you remember the Let’s get Physical line? This was a line Modus Vivendi released a few years ago! It’s images were shot in a gym!
After the release of a number of limited edition, Flash lines, Modus Vivendi launches the first of the New Trends lines for fall/winter 2015-16, the Weekly Line. The new Weekly Line comprises seven briefs and seven boxers, in seven colours. The underwear is made of the best quality cotton (95%) with a touch of elastane (5%) for a perfect fit. The Weekly Line is designed to stay comfortable in any situation and all day long, no matter how busy your life is or how intense your activity: sporty cuts, soft fabric, double ply contour pouch, elasticated waistbands and eco-friendly, natural dyes.
The campaign for the Weekly Line was shot in Madrid, Spain. Visionary photographer Joan Crisol shot outdoors, in sharp, defining sunlight, playing with mirrors to create reflections of this hyper busy city, his backdrop for the images. The model presenting this campaign needs no introduction: internationally-renowned model Konstantin Kamynin is looking great as always and was able to pull the shoot through to tremendous effect, remaining cool, calm and professional, in the busiest of locations… wearing just his Modus Vivendi underwear!

Modus Vivendi releases its Abstract Lace line of men’s underwear
Modus Vivendi continues the presentation of its Fall/Winter 2015-16 collection with this limited edition, ‘flash’ line. The newly released line is called Abstract Lace and it comprises two types of briefs (low cut and classic cut) and jockstraps in pure white or seductive black. These sexy, masculine pieces are made from a fine semi-transparent French lace and are contoured to perfectly fit the male form. Not every man has felt lace on his body and this is a perfect opportunity: Modus Vivendi certainly knows how to pull it off. The Abstract Lace line is definitely classy and perfectly represents the brand’s ideals: high fashion, creativity, supreme quality and comfort.
The model for this line is once again Alexandros Kaltsidis. This great looking man is photographed on location in Thessaloniki by Panos Misailidis in a shoot that represents effortless chic and modernity.

Undies Monday is all about feeling sexy in your underwear. Finding that perfect style, fabric or brand you just fell amazing in. Fetish Friday is all about FUN. Its about embracing something outside your box and trying something new. It could be leather, satin, lace or more. There is no one definition of fetish wear! Much like our love of underwear it’s something different for everyone.
One of the most classic definitions for the general public for fetish wear involves the leather community. Specifically leather, latex and rubber materials. The pair we chose this week is the Modus Vivendi Latex Jock.
The Latex Jock, for those who maybe allergic, is a latex look rather than latex. If you are allergic before you order make sure you contact Modus Vivendi to make sure its not made out of any latex. Unlike traditional jocks this has a very wide waistband. It’s approximately 10 cm which translates to around 4 inches. The traditional classic jock has a 3 inch band. This means it is higher on the waist and they say it will give you a “new sensation”
Modus Vivendi is inspired by their Greek heritage. It shows through in this pair. It’s a different design from most western underwear companies. Also, Modus Vivendi is not afraid to try new things and experiment in their designs. Its just a lot of fun! Modus Vivendi to me, is one of the most innovative underwear/swimwear companies on the market today. I hope they never loose their sense of design and fun.
If you are interested in this pair you can check it out at the Modus Vivendi site. It retails for 27.80 Euros.
The time has come for Modus Vivendi to start releasing gradually their new Autumn/Winter 2015-2016 collection. The first line to see from the new collection is a “Flash Line”. The Flash lines, more of which we will see later in the year, comprise limited edition items made exclusively for this season, so once they are gone, they are gone! You can see it here: http://e-modusvivendi.com/gbu0-catshow/mc_FlashLine.html
Giving a hint of what the new collection of Modus Vivendi will be like, this line has some sexy and classic underwear designs. Vibrant colours as well as classic ones in a range of different cuts and fabrics. In this specific line you find white, blue and brown, combined with aqua blue, yellow and orange. There are three distinctive and very comfortable shapes: low cut briefs, briefs and brazil cut boxers all made from the finest cotton.
The conceptual pictures show model Alexandros Kaltsidis in the new designs of the brand, photographed on location in Thessaloniki. The sexy “window cleaner” of this campaign was styled by Lefteris Evaggelou. Enjoy the photos and get these limited edition underwear while there is still stock available!
