Sex-positive label Carne Bollente is back for Spring/Summer 2020, this time around stopping by Japan for its “Island of Desires” collection.

It was on a trip to Japan that Carne Bollente “discovered the infinite variety of pleasure on offer,” as a result inspiring the team to pay tribute to the various forms of eroticism celebrated in the country. For SS20, graphics are inspired by both traditional and contemporary Japanese pornography, littering messages of encouragement throughout such as “Sex Positive Yes Please” and “Not Afraid.”

Some of the stand out pieces from “Island of Desires” includes a T-shirt that sports a backprint of the Japanese islands, intertwined with various drawings of nude women, as well as the Le Bouquet Surprise denim jacket that features a phallic take on a bouquet of flowers embroidered into the rear of the jacket.

Check out the “Island of Desires” collection for SS20 in its lookbook above, and pick up everything via Carne Bollente’s website now.

In other news, Hajime Sorayama and XLARGE have dropped their “Sex Matter” exhibition merch.
