The TABOO Series

August 19, 2025

UK artists Opake and Slawn come together for TABOO, a new project which toes the line, presenting a series of almost-explicit prints, paintings, and skateboards. Drawing from the impact of censorship on both artists’ practices, the Hentai girls that populate the pieces explore the question of who gets marked “off-limits” online and who doesn’t.

“I have never looked at Hentai as porn. I see drawing, discipline, exaggeration, storytelling. The minute you stick a label like ‘taboo’ on an image, people stop seeing the craft. TABOO is about removing that label and asking better questions," says Opake.

The figures, painted by Opake, are drawn over with Slawn’s iconic graphics, striking a compositional balance through their distinctive styles. The two collaborators began as friends, a bond which comes through bold works.

Kartlis Deda: Lettonne's NYC Debut

March 07, 2026

Kartlis Deda, also known as the Mother of Georgia, served as the overarching muse for LETTONNE’S first-ever runway show. The monument shows a woman carrying a glass of wine in one hand while dawning a sword in the other. The friction between these two forces serves as a symbol of the dichotomy of women. Garments have the power to protect, conceal, and strengthen. They can be symbols of femininity or defiance. Blending these contradicting forces together, the collection showcases the ways in which they can balance.

LETTONNE is a brand founded in New York City and born out of some of the most crucial elements of club culture. Freedom of expression, a tight-knit sense of community, and a driving curiosity for what’s to come have all infiltrated the designs gracing the runway. Leaning into these fixtures, the designers utilize harsh materials and the feminine form to experiment and remix into a contemporary and fashion-forward context.
