Last Saturday, Julian Zigerli took over Zürich’s Gessnerallee—a space usually reserved for concerts and theater—and turned it into something else entirely. The Limit Does Not Exist was a collision of clothes, music, and performance, all vibrating at the same frequency.
Two collections were presented. The first, The Limit Does Not Exist, was a collaboration with Berlin artist Andi Fischer. The second, Tom All Over My Body, worked with the Tom of Finland Foundation, and it wasn’t just a runway. Models cruised through the park like a slow, sexy parade. Someone in the crowd called it “horny and emotional,” and that felt right.
Julian’s sister and her five friends from Werkheim Uster, all living with disabilities, brought a kind of energy that no professional model could replicate. Backstage, onstage—they were the heart of the show.
The music didn’t let up. Ramon Oliveras drummed for 40 straight minutes, a heartbeat for the whole thing. Gregory Tari Hari’s version of Almost Heaven twisted the room into a dark, cowboy dream. Samuel Schneider took over, moving through the crowd, making the set design (by Studioforma Design) feel alive.
And then there were the underwear boys. Seven of them, nearly naked, in black and white briefs, thongs, jockstraps—all with Zigerli’s new pink elephant elastic waistband. A sneak peek of the Underwearli line, coming later this year.
I was there, and the energy didn’t stop when the show ended. The afterparty kept us dancing until morning, drinks in hand, music blaring, the kind of night where you lose track of time because no one wants it to end.
