LGBT rights in Poland after the 2026 partnership veto
LGBT rights in Poland after the July 2026 veto: no civil partnership, foreign same-sex marriages in the register and a hate-crime gap still open.


BARCELONA
ES Collection came to life in Barcelona in 2006, a few years before its louder younger sibling, ADDICTED. Swimwear is still at its heart, with a whole summer wardrobe built around it for long days by the water and the evenings that follow.
The ES Collection swim brief is the piece that ends up in every bag, from a lake weekend outside Warsaw to a week on the Baltic. In Sopot, the longest wooden pier in Europe runs far out over the sea, and a close-fitting brief is the easiest thing to wear on an afternoon like that. Trunks and shorts take over on the days that call for a little more cover.

Next to ADDICTED, ES Collection is the quieter of the two. Its casual side is about cut and fabric rather than slogans: a shirt that works with plain trousers, or shorts that carry on from the beach to dinner without anyone noticing the change. On a warm evening by the river in Warsaw, that is all an outfit needs to do.

After dark, ES Collection turns to net and mesh tops that show a little skin without looking like swimwear, the outfit for a late dinner that might turn into a club night. The label knows that territory well. It made the official outfit for Circuit Festival, which filled Barcelona with nine days of parties from 1 to 9 August 2026.

In Poland, ES Collection swimwear and the rest of the label’s summer wardrobe are online at addictedshop.eu, alongside the full range of men’s swimwear.
