“POP,” From Restraint to Release: Chrishabana’s Debut Runway Show Presented by Pornhub

In Collaboration with Pornhub, Designer Chris Habana makes his runway debut with “POP,” an autobiographical exploration of the space that exists between restraint and expansion.

NEW YORK – (Spetember 15, 2025) – In partnership with Pornhub, CHRISHABANA’S Spring/Summer 2026 collection parlays the brand’s signature sculptural jewelry into 18 standout looks. Habana calls upon sci-fi futurism, punk, and global influences with a reverent nod to structure, dominance, and submission.

Wet-molded leather mixed with silicone forms body contouring pieces that challenge silhouette and proportion. The technique of “crushing” is featured throughout the collection, where the metals, mesh, skins, and fabric come together to alter body proportions — from compression to exaggerated expansion. BDSM themes are transformed by sickly sweet, icy pastels delivering alluring, highly sensual, and provocative looks.

“We have been creating so many culture-defining looks for other trailblazers in the world, so the chance to be able to express our studio’s distinct point of view is a dream,” says Chris Habana. “We want to challenge, provoke, and above all else introduce the world to new ways of thinking about aesthetics and fashion.”

“We began our partnership with Chris Habana earlier this year, when he designed stunning custom looks for our Brand Ambassadors at the 7th Annual Pornhub Awards. We’re especially proud to support Chris as he makes his runway debut at New York Fashion Week,” said Alex Kekesi, Pornhub VP of Brand and Community. “At Pornhub, we champion discovery, and we understand the challenges creators face in gaining exposure. We believe in providing online and real-world support to artists like Chris, who boldly merge sex and art in innovative ways, truly reflecting our core values. We are proud to help bring his vision to the show. We’re thrilled to see our Brand Ambassadors Asa Akira, Natassia Dreams, and Queenie Sateen, alongside Pornhub Model Amanda Riley, bring his unique, boundary-pushing designs to life. This collaboration is a celebration of diversity, creativity, and authentic self-expression, which are the qualities that define our brand.”

This may be Habana’s first runway, but he is not a newcomer to the fashion world. Habana has created looks for some of the world’s most celebrated talent, including Beyoncé, Madonna, Zendaya, Lady Gaga, Doechii, Doja Cat, Erykah Badu, Shaboozey, Tyla, and many more.
