RESISTANCE

Designed by Stephan Rabimov

Stephan Rabimov’s menswear designs for EXPATS imagine a future where a queer army rises – not of violence, but of visibility and unity. In this world, fashion becomes the uniform of a resistance fighting for dignity, identity, and the undeniable right to exist. The collection draws from the structure of uniforms and the adaptability of sportswear, blending technical fabrics, modular silhouettes, and utilitarian detailing. Each garment is built with deep intention – designed for bodies in motion.

“These clothes are for those unwilling to be erased,” says Rabimov. “They’re designed to empower wearers to stand their ground in a world that increasingly demands LGBTQIA+ silence. We are living through dangerous times, but the future is still ours to define.”

Through fluid draping and luminous textures, Tillges crafts a vision of the future where humanity finds optimism and light despite chaos. Tillges’ pieces suggest that softness can also be powerful and that hope remains a radical act.

“The world feels heavy, but I believe in beauty as a reason to keep going,” says Tillges. “This collection is my way of saying not all is lost.”
