Second Skin

The Second Skin collection redefines material fetishism, transforming tactile surfaces into classical studies of light, texture, and form. In this series, the heavy, organic grain of aged leather, the liquid-like sheen of latex, and the stark, protective shield of rubber cease to be merely garments—they become extensions of the human canvas. Under Victor Hensel-Coe’s lens, these materials act as secondary armor, catching highlights like poured obsidian and reflecting the raw energy of Berlin’s underground counterculture.

This collection is a masterclass in texture. High-contrast key lighting accentuates the matte crevices of hand-crafted harnesses, the flawless, wet-look curves of rubber hoods, and the deep, rich folds of leather trousers. It explores the tension between exposure and concealment, vulnerability and absolute dominance.
