What to know about Namilia

Provocation is the design method

Collections run on genitalia motifs, "Dick Bags," corsetry, cutouts and chaps — sex-positive clubwear that deliberately scrambles codes of femininity and masculinity.

Founded by two RCA graduates

Nan Li and Emilia Pfohl met on the fashion MA at London's Royal College of Art, named the label after themselves, and showed "My Pussy, My Choice" at VFiles Runway in 2015.

Berlin club codes, designer prices

It shows during Berlin Fashion Week and reads as rave-revival and motocross graphics, but sits at mid-to-high pricing, with graphic t-shirts the usual entry point.
