Diego tarabal

The Doctor of Desire.

For Diego Tarabal, desire is a design language. The Spanish-born designer reinterprets the visual codes of fetish and queer culture through garments that are sensual, irreverent, and unmistakably contemporary. Fresh from the University of Westminster's M.A. Menswear program, Tarabal's practice rejects caricature in favour of subtle provocation—creating pieces that hint rather than shout.

Leather, exposed hardware, and fragments of underground culture become vehicles for a new kind of masculinity: one that is playful, vulnerable, and unapologetically sexy. Worn by figures such as Troye Sivan, his work exists somewhere between fashion object, personal fantasy, and cultural commentary.

Sexy—but never literal. That tension lies at the heart of Diego Tarabal's practice. The Spanish designer dismantles the conventions of menswear by filtering the aesthetics of fetish through a more nuanced and fashion-conscious framework.

What emerges are garments that flirt with taboo while remaining rooted in wearability: leather constructions that resemble neither harness nor costume, but something altogether more ambiguous. Through references spanning queer culture, internet ephemera, and contemporary desire, Tarabal proposes a masculinity liberated from rigidity—one that embraces pleasure, vulnerability, and self-expression in equal measure.
