SSENSE X PORNHUB
CARAVANE, NIK MIRUS
SSENSE and Pornhub partner to examine the relationship between fashion and human sexuality. Examining the data of desire, SSENSE turned its attention to the sneaker. Equipped with data surrounding sneaker-related porn consumption, they consider its broader implications and connexions to the fashion industry.
For this special editorial project, we destroyed high-end sneakers in beautiful and unique ways under the theme of sneaker porn.

“Sex is worth dying for,” once quipped Foucault, as he mused that the most important form of modern political leverage is control over our reproductive functions. Could he have predicted today’s digitally-fuelled brave new world, for which there exists a porn video for any given sexual whim, no matter how eccentric? Perhaps porn sites wield far more cultural influence than we give them credit for.
