With the help of 10 iconic queer New Yorkers, Nasty Pig  is celebrating 30 years of queer sexual positivity with a bold new campaign entitled “Real Nasty Pigs of New York” captured by Nasty Pig’s art director and photographer, Sam Waxman.

Nasty Pig is starting off the year with its new campaign, “Real Nasty Pigs of New York,” celebrating queer culture, self-expression and sexual positivity.

Nasty Pig's Founders David Lauterstein and Frederick Kearney were honored this year in Out Magazine's yearly list of the 100 most influential queer people. Read the full story here.

For 30 years, David Lauterstein has been making jockstraps, harnesses and other gear with his partner. In a new memoir, he paints a (very) colorful portrait of gay New York in the 1990s.

Thank you Andy Cohen (@bravoandy) and @bravowwhl for having our founders David Lauterstein (@sweetdavenyc) and Frederick Kearney (@frederickkearney) on Watch What Happens Live last night to talk about David’s new memoir “Sodomy Gods” and the 30th Anniversary of @nastypig. David and Fred had a great time bartending and showing off pieces from Nasty Pig’s new FW24 collection.

Nasty Pig is not interested in subtlety. From its founding in 1994, owners David Lauterstein and Frederick Kearney have been all about being shame-free in their celebration of gay sex positivity.

For thirty years, Nasty Pig has been fusing high fashion and streetwear with the collars, harnesses and accoutrements that typify the fetish lifestyle.

Back in 1993, when Chelsea was the gay epicentre of New York City, Frederick Kearney and David Lauterstein met over $1 margaritas at the Break bar on 8th Avenue in Manhattan, and soon fell in love. A year later, the future husbands co-founded what would become one of the world’s most iconic gay culture brands,  Nasty Pig, with David as CEO and Fred as artistic director.
