Gay Bratislava after Tepláreň, where queer life happens now
Gay Bratislava has no district on the map. After Tepláreň, queer life moved into cabaret nights, Open Wednesday at the In centre and independent stages.


BARCELONA
Barcelona, 2006. That is where and when ES Collection began, three years ahead of its noisier sibling ADDICTED, and swimwear has been at the centre of it ever since. Around it grew a wardrobe for the hours when the beach is over but the day is not.
Cut high on the thigh, the ES Collection swim brief draws a completely different line from a swim boxer or looser shorts, even in the same print. A hot Bratislava afternoon, by the Danube or out at Zlaté piesky, is the best way to find out which one feels right.

Next to the swimwear, ES Collection makes shirts, tanks, shorts and trousers that carry on where the beach leaves off. In Bratislava that usually means the promenade along the Danube, with the whole city and the castle in view, and later the sunny waterfront at Eurovea. A shirt and plain trousers cover both.

After dark, ES Collection reaches for net and mesh tops, which change with the light and with whatever is underneath. Its nights have pedigree, too. For Circuit Festival 2026, nine days of parties in Barcelona from 1 to 9 August, ES Collection made the official outfit.

For a Bratislava summer, ES Collection swimwear and the label’s shirts and shorts are at addictedshop.eu, next to every other kind of men’s swimwear.
