Second Skin Starts Here: Chapter One, Intimates
Every world needs a starting point. For Second Skin RTW, it's the layer closest to the body.
Second Skin RTW is the diffusion range of the ERIK-YVON Collection, tactile, wearable pieces that carry the same design language as the main collection into something built for daily rotation. It launches in chapters, not all at once, and this one starts with what sits closest: two mesh 3-packs and a printed sock with more history than a sock usually gets.
Chapter One
Three pieces, one shared colour story: black, lime and lavender running through the underwear, aqua and pink carried separately by the socks.
It's a deliberate way to open the range. Before the hoodie, before the bag, before the cap, there's what's underneath. Second Skin RTW starts at the base layer and builds outward from there over the coming months.
Mesh Thong 3-Pack
Three mesh thongs, one in each colour, sold as a set. Semi-sheer, low-profile, finished with the ERIK-YVON wordmark woven into the waistband and a small embroidered flower motif at the hip.
It's the easiest, lowest-commitment way into the range: three colours, one purchase, no styling required to get the full Second Skin colour story into rotation.
Mesh Brief 3-Pack
The fuller-coverage counterpart, same three colours, same wordmark waistband, cut with full seat coverage and a high leg instead of a minimal one. A different silhouette, not a lesser one, built for anyone who wants the colour and the branding without the minimal cut.
Textured Print Crew Socks
The socks break from the black/lime/lavender story deliberately, aqua and pink, with a textured print carrying more history than it looks. This particular print traces back to an actual award: Erik Yvon was named the inaugural winner of Toblerone's Never Square Designer Award, presented in partnership with Vogue Australia. The full story is coming next week.
Where to wear it
Mesh underwear does more work than people give it credit for. It's not just what's underneath, it's part of the outfit, whether anyone else ever sees it or not.
For a night out, the thong 3-pack sits well under anything sheer, low-rise, or cut close to the body, mesh clubwear, sheer skirts, low-slung trousers, without adding visible lines. Lime or lavender under black is a small, private detail that changes how the whole outfit feels, even if it never gets seen.
For a date, it's less about what shows and more about what it does to how you move through the night. The brief 3-pack's fuller coverage works under jeans or tailored trousers for daytime-into-evening plans, while the thong stays the better call under anything more fitted.
And on an ordinary day, they're just good underwear in good colours, no occasion required. That's really the whole idea behind Second Skin RTW: pieces built for regular rotation, not just the nights that need dressing for.
What's next
Chapter One is intimates. Chapter Two, arriving in September, moves outward: the Laser-Cut Floral Hoodie, the Serpan Handbag, and the ERIK-YVON x MAMSIR Distressed Cap. Second Skin RTW keeps building through October from there.
