Created in 2016 by Cem Dukkha (CEM) and Nicolas Endlicher (MCMLXXX), Herrensauna has quickly become a Berlin institution and famed queer safe space known for its boundary-pushing techno nights and playfully sybaritic community morality. For their spring/summer 2022 collection, Carhartt WIP collaborated with Herrensauna to produce a limited capsule of five items. This capsule see staple Carhartt WIP particulars blessed with artwork by Berlin-based artist and longtime Herrensauna collaborator Mau Ventura.
The launch party took place at Humbolthain Club on April 3 with DJ sets by DJ Saliva b2b Salome, MDSM, Gabrielle Kwarteng b2b Kikelomo, LYZZA b2b Yha Yha, and CEM b2b MCMLXXXVI.
โThis collaboration was extra special as it allowed a popular streetwear brand to tap into its shared audience with such an iconic underground collective. The partnership is subtle, allowing the focus to be on the community and celebrating its presence in the city of Berlin and Beyond.โ Kenny Eshinlokun, founder of Taboo.
With releases on the 4th and 11th of April, the collection is available now at Carhartt WIP Store Berlin Mitte, Highsnobiety Shop, Voo Store, and wearetaboo.co. photographs by Sera Akyazici
Girls Going Wild is a short film directed by Yulia Zinshtein in Miami during Art Basel. For those of us that grew up on early reality TV - shows like The Real World and Road Rules, which were usually punctuated by late-night infomercials for Girls Gone Wild โ this portrait of young adults looking for the ultimate party in Miami is at once familiar, but all too honest and a sad and strange reflection of our times. Zinshtein says, "Girls Going Wild is about searching for the best party. This video aims to show how awkward that search can be...and that the very process becomes the best party you could ever find." Click here to read our short interview with Yulia Zinshtein.
Self taught photographer Robert Lang grew up in Durban, South Africa, but moved to Camden Town, London, in 2001. With his day job, er, night job, as a fashion photographer and correspondent, he started to spend a lot of wild nights out on the town where he began to photograph some of the locals. Never intending for the series to become public, what would become Filthy Gorgeous was a photographic diary of sorts to laugh at the next day โ perhaps as a cure to alleviate the impending hang over. Lang says he calls the series Filthy Gorgeous "because all of us ran wild living, working and partying in Camden and we had no inhibitions." He also says, "These women represented everything about our period at that time in London and were smart, fashionable and witty." Bruised, bloody and bloody bruised, the characters in these photographs โ many of them friends of the photographer โ have moved on from their party life, which makes these images all the more indicative of a rare and special moment in time.

Weโve been following Los Angeles based pop duo Kisses for a long time. Itโs a clichรฉ thing to admit, but they have been a regular soundtrack to our life for the last five years โ since their extremely cool and sexy debut album, The Heart of the Nightlife. Sexy is the perfect way to describe Kisses โ itโs their name, but itโs also the sound. Combining Jesse Kivelโs nonchalant, vintage-hued timbre and lyrics of youthful abandon and Zinzi Edmundsonโs disco-inspired instrumentation, Kisses make undeniable magic for your ears and the dance floor. So, it was beyond exciting when we were asked if we wanted to exclusively premier a track off their upcoming album, Rest In Paradise (out October 9th), which sees Kisses collaborating with a live backing band, Midnight Magic, for the first time. This move from synth to live composition makes the record literally levitate with a new kind of aural luminance that harkens back to early Talking Heads, Orange Juice or even The English Beat. Below, we offer the first listen of the incredible track, entitled โJam.โ In what may be a first, the band has collaborated with L.A. based preserves company and eatery Sqirl to create a custom-made plum jam for the debut of the track. Lead singer Kivel describes the track as โโฆa song best served with a piece of Chloe Sevigney "toe-ast" โ which is why we paired with our friend Jessica at Sqirl to debut this song and a limited edition, literal jam. The tune takes you on a complex and flavorful journey, much like our tasty jam. Fun fact, Erika Spring adds some vocal harmonies on this tune.โ This weekend, you can get a taste of this delicious jam and a taste of Kissesโ new album at a special listening party held at Formerly Yes in Downtown Los Angeles โ you can RSVP here. The jam is also available for purchase with Hit City USA, the label that takes these tasty grooves from the studio, to your earbuds, and straight down to your dancing feet. Turn up your speakers and press play below.
