Berlin is set to come alive with the 40th anniversary of Tom of Finland Foundation, and Diesel is on board to celebrate. They’ve been teaming up for Pride for three years now, and 2024 is no different. This year, they’re rolling out a capsule collection and shining a spotlight on up-and-coming erotic artists. It’s all about being true to yourself, especially for the LGBTQIA+ community.

The collection features works from artists like Stuart Sandford and Suzanne Shifflett, among others, including Tom of Finland himself. Their art will be featured on 24 unique pieces, each with a quote from the artist. It’s a mix of bold and sensual, just like the foundation’s message.

Durk Dehner, cofounder of Foundation, has been a big part of keeping Tom’s legacy alive. Tom’s art, especially those iconic leather-clad men, broke barriers and spoke to people all over. Now, Berlin’s Halle am Berghain is ready to host a festival that’s all about that legacy.
