Alligator Jesus Designs Lingerie with ZHILYOVA

July 21, 2025

Known for doing grillz in LA, Miami-born artist David Josef Tamargo, aka Alligator Jesus, teams up with Ukrainian lingerie house ZHILYOVA to release a limited-edition art capsule. The collaboration turns body-mods into sheer bodysuits, bras, and panties, creating illusion fuelled garments that maintain the structural basis of ZHILYOVA designs. Using an embroidered, double-headed alligator motif, originally designed by tattoo artist Needlestoskin, a studied surrealism is added into the collection via Italian mesh.

With both the label and artist focused on emphasising the body, the Summer 2025 launch will fuse the Alligator Jesus’ penchant for subversion with the lingerie brand’s intricate, gauzy language. The result? An emphasis on the common ground found between them—reptilian, constant metamorphosis.

“This design honors the instinct to protect and provoke at once. Each scale reminds us that elegance can bite,” says Valeria Zhilyova, Founder and Creative Director of ZHILYOVA.

SSENSE Got Steamy This Paris Fashion Week

October 09, 2026

On October 2nd, SSENSE celebrated a number of emerging designers at their Paris Fashion Week popup, Salon des Refusés. The name is a callback to the 1863 exhibition, where artists were rejected from the conservative jury of the official Paris Salon. Here, in 2026, SSENSE puts the designs of Kanika Agarwal, Laura Andraschko, MERRMA, Petra Fagerstrom, RESCHA, SECONDA, and Stephen Jones on a pedestal for one day only.

Usually functioning as an online platform, SSENSE brought the showroom to visitors to participate with the designs. Shifting from a purely digital experience, the visitors got to try on products right there while engaging with the designers themselves.

The pop-up was followed swiftly by a steamy afterparty, with a DJ set by Memphy, followed by a showcase by electronic duo Smerz. SSENSE has long been a platform for cultural discovery, and with Salon des Refusés, they bring the essence of the former outcast exhibition to a physical reality that brought together music, art, fashion, and community.

SATISFY and Oakley Are Back for Round Eight

October 09, 2026

SATISFY and Oakley are back with Chapter VIII of Equipment for Our World, bringing together futuristic eyewear, technical running gear, and a good amount of early-2000s energy.

At the center of the collection are two very different silhouettes. The Scar, originally introduced in 2001, makes a comeback in Falcon and X-Silver Metal, while the spiked Suture Jacket looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Both come equipped with specially designed vented Prizm lenses, keeping things functional despite their otherworldly appearance.

The lineup also includes a perforated long-sleeve tee, a lightweight trail cap, and a silver-foil bandana. All designed with breathability in mind, whether you're actually hitting the trails or just dressing the part.

The collection drops October 13 at SATISFY and Oakley.
