Spread your fingers across the pages of BUTT 36, and feel the electric pulse of a magazine reborn. This collaboration between BUTT and Bottega Veneta isn’t just a publishing moment—it’s a profound cultural dialogue that challenges expectations. Imagine a publication that has always lived on the razor’s edge of queer expression, now supported by a luxury fashion house that understands rebellion isn’t about conformity, but conversation.
Founded in Amsterdam in 2001 by Gert Jonkers and Jop van Bennekom, BUTT has carved its legacy through unfiltered storytelling that refuses to whisper. After a decade-long silence, the magazine resurfaces, with Bottega Veneta standing not as a corporate overseer, but as a cultural co-conspirator.
Rebellious Roots, Luxe Wings
Queer culture has never been about fitting in—it’s about standing out, speaking loud, creating space. The partnership between BUTT and Bottega Veneta embodies this spirit. Their collaboration feels less like a marketing strategy and more like mutual recognition: two entities that understand the power of authentic expression.
Flip through BUTT 36, and you’ll find a universe sprawling with narratives. An intergenerational dialogue between conceptual art icon AA Bronson and “porn dad” Joel Someone sits alongside a revealing portrait of director Lilly Wachowski. Omar Ayuso graces one of two covers, a visual manifesto of diverse queer representation.
Raoul de Jong’s reimagining of a seventeenth-century anti-sodomy narrative transforms historical silences into vibrant storytelling. This isn’t documentation—it’s resurrection. Each page becomes an act of cultural defiance, a statement that queer stories cannot be contained, controlled, or quieted.
Bottega Veneta’s involvement reads like artistic patronage rather than corporate intervention. In an era where queer narratives risk becoming shallow commodities, BUTT maintains its razor-sharp integrity. The magazine amplifies voices from underground activists to international performers, creating a global queer dialogue that refuses to be simplified.
Beyond Ink and Paper
BUTT 36 transcends its physical form. Launch events in São Paulo and Madrid, digital interviews, mixtapes, and artwork transform the magazine into a living, breathing cultural platform. It doesn’t just document queer life—it creates a dynamic, evolving conversation.
Can luxury embrace rebellion without diluting its edge? BUTT 36 boldly answers by crafting a narrative that pulses with uncompromising queer authenticity.
