Zurich, 11 December 2025
Brown journalism at its finest: If you’re anal about facts, you’ve come to the right place. Feral regular Pedro Vasconcelos gets to the bottom of things (i.e horny new butt calendar from Julian Zigerli) by conducting an in-depth, penetrating interview with the Swiss designer’s asshole. Literally. His actual asshole. We asked Pedro to probe Julian’s backside and to drill deep, really deep, and spread wide open the secrets usually hidden from daylight. This exclusive sit-down (bend-over?) takes the backdoor approach to fashion reporting, opening up a candid conversation about what it means to be a working hole in the fashion industry. Our man ventures where no reporter has gone before (actually, plenty have gone there, just never with a tape recorder). Sometimes the best way to get a satisfying result is through the back entrance.

What’s in an ass? That which we call a hole by any other name tastes as sweet? Just ask Julian Zigerli. The designer has turned his butt into the muse of 12 artists. Whether photographed or painted, Zigerli is the star of a new calendar that features visual interpretations of God’s gift to the world: hole.
This butt-centric vision came straight from one of the Swiss designer’s heads. It’s not that surprising coming from Zigerli. For over a decade, he’s been toying with the line between absurdity, earnestness and horniness. This time around, he brought along 12 visual artists to play with him, or rather, his ass.
Apropos of the release of the 2026 calendar, one we’re sure to put on our wall (even if it’s not the date we’re looking at). Below we interview the designer’s ass. It’s the star of the show after all. From skincare routine to the ultimate question (girth or length?), Zigerli’s ass gives us a rare glimpse into the psyche of a pair of cheeks suddenly thrust into stardom.
Fame, it turns out, sits differently on everyone, but especially on those who are literally built to sit.
Ring-ring… The call starts
Pedro: Hello! How are you?
Asshole: I’m good. I was knocked out for three days, I’ve been running around.
Before we go too deep, what is your favourite type of underwear?
I actually like all kinds. I love what I’m wearing right now, a jockstrap. It gives me the freedom to breathe. I also like thongs. Having it touch me is really nice. But I don’t mind a loose boxer. I’ve done a brief. I’m easy.
Speaking of, for the occasion of a hookup, what are you wearing?
It’s this… [shakes] a jockstrap. It makes me feel… loose. I think because I’m not American, thongs are just not a big thing here yet.
I’m a big proponent of thongs, I just bought enough pairs to replace all my boxers.
That’s good. I am a big fan too. My top half is a designer, so I get to try on a lot of stuff. What I’m wearing right now is a Julian Zigerli sample piece.
What’s your secret talent?
I’m also a good top. It’s all in the power of what’s in the back. It “thrusts” me forward.
What’s your favorite thing to sit on?
A dick, to be honest.
Do you like toys? Do you play with yourself?
I have a pink dildo, which is very beautiful. Sometimes I use it, but not much. I prefer the real thing. I used to be really into sexting and video play, but not so much as of late. I prefer to just go up and down on someone.
What’s your preferred lube?
I have to mix silicon and water. I like to mix them up so I get the best of both. Which one do you like?
I just use coconut oil.
Oh interesting. I’ve never tried that.
In my head, it’s the most natural thing you can use. Plus, it’s very viscous and tastes of coconut, which is always a nice surprise for a top.
Do they like it? I have to try it out.
Yeah, plus I put just a tiny bit of sugar after I’m done, so it gives a coconut candy feel when they go down. Do you have any kind of tricks of that type?
No, but I need to learn from you. I’m going to try that out.

You said the first time you bottomed was outdoors. Were you cruising?
No, I had met this guy already, but neither of us could host, so that was our only option.
Do you enjoy cruising?
I enjoy it more now. My libido has only gotten bigger as I have gotten older. In the last few years, I have discovered cruising. I never really did it before.
When was the last time you had a stranger check you out?
I was in the swimming pool showers and I realized this guy was basically having sex with me with his eyes while I was showering. Afterwards, he followed me into the toilet area.

Favourite position + jiggles for added seduction
What’s your favourite position?
Kind of how I am right now. Lying on my belly.
What’s the best sex you’ve ever had?
I think it was when I was getting spitroasted. It was the first time I ever did it. I was blown away. It was so intense and amazing. I loved it.
Do you have a lot of threesomes since that epiphany?
They can be hard to find. But I’d say once every two months. I love them. I’ve been single for a year, so I’m a lot more out there now.
How often do you have sex?
Depends on the month. October was really good for me.
What qualifies as a good month versus a dry one?
This year I did a list. January and October were really fucking good, quite intense. This was the year when I was freshly single, so I kind of wanted to figure out how my sex life would work. That’s why I started that list.

Image: Luis Venegas
Do you find that the more you fuck, the more you want to get fucked?
Sometimes. One time, I had three guys in one day because I just kept wanting more. That can happen, that hunger sets in. Actually, I had sex today just before this.
And how was that?
Amazing, I was the top. I was saving my ass for you.
Do you prefer to be smooth or hairy?
I mean… Have you taken a good look at me?
There’s no way not to… So you don’t like any hair?
This is just how it is naturally. Sometimes I get a bit of hair in between my cheeks and I’ll trim that, but everything is super peachy otherwise.

What’s your self-care routine?
So, my beauty routine is quite simple. Every now and then, I trim my hair a little bit. I have myself a nice ass mask. I like a good bit of lotion…
Do you use some kind of scrub?
The mask I use is exfoliating. But I’m only using it once, maybe twice a month. But I don’t really need it. I’m always smooth and ready to go.
How would you describe your perfect match? Are you more of a length or girth type of ass?
What would be the perfect one for me? [Takes a pause] I like a combination of length and girth. Too girthy can be problematic, it can take a while to fit. Too long isn’t great either, is it? It needs somewhere in between. In this perfect middle point. But I’m not super particular, it doesn’t need to be huge. I’m not a size queen.
Have you ever met a dick you couldn’t take?
No. [Laughs] Even the biggest challenges I’ve faced, I’ve found a way to manage. It might have taken me a minute. But, one way or another, they all fit in.
Do you remember the first time you ever had something in you?
Hmmm… When was that? That’s a good question. I’m thinking the first time I’ve had sex. Did they fuck me? I think the first time I had something in me I was outdoors. Here in Zurich, next to the river, it’s quite popular.

Image: Luis Venegas

Image: Steve Marais
Do you like the feeling of a cold breeze?
Why do you think I’m wearing a jockstrap?
When did you figure out that getting fucked was something that gave you pleasure?
Oh, quite young. I think 16, maybe not that young. I was not so sexually active in the very early stages. I was a bit more just wanking with neighbors and friends. Butt stuff came a bit later than that.
What’s your go-to move to seduce someone?
Honestly, just this. [Jiggles cheeks] It’s very subtle, but it usually convinces everyone.
I can see why…
It even turns bottoms into tops. That’s my special skill. It’s my magical attribute. I waltz in and they’re hypnotized.
God knows I am. What do you think makes a perfect ass?
I think it’s all in the shape. It doesn’t need to be huge. It’s all about how bubbly it is.
Are you naturally voluptuous, or do you work out?
I play soccer. I do ballet. I go diving. Nothing is quite as good for the ass as soccer. But honestly, don’t focus on it too much. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gained weight and I’ve grown bigger. I was really fucking flat when I was a teenager and then I just filled out.
Do you have a pair of pants that you prefer?
I don’t like low-rise. I do a pretty high rise and I pull them up. It needs to hug me.
What’s your favourite Julian piece to wear?
Well… This one. It’s probably going to be produced next year. Probably around springtime. We’re just waiting for the right moment. We’ll also do a thong, a brief and a boxer brief.
Do you get to test all these samples out?
Yes, I mean this is a good example of what I’m testing out every day. I’m the guinea pig. In these, you can see all the little elephants around the rim.
Is that some sort of manifestation? Are you looking to attract a big trunk?
It’s more than that. In the drawing, the elephants are holding each other’s tails. I guess I’m manifesting something a bit more romantic.
Who’s the biggest asshole you’ve ever met in the fashion industry?
It’s hard to tell. I work independently. I have my own brand, so I don’t really work for any assholes. The only one would probably be mine. But I’m a nice guy, so I’m a good boss too. Thankfully, I’ve never had to work with any asshole. I do my own thing.
Speaking of yours, do you have a good relationship with your asshole?
It treats me well. We have a lot of fun together.
I’m sure it treats as others well too. Speaking of, how did it feel to be the muse for so many artists for your calendar?
The first time I ever got in front of the camera was a while ago. Actually, for one of the artists from the calendar. I really enjoyed it. It was exciting. I have done it a few times since then, but nothing too major, more so for fun. It’s thrilling. I enjoy showing off.
How did you select the people you wanted to capture you?
Most of them I already knew. We had either worked together or interacted before. It was a good moment to get everyone together. I think I only met one for the first time on the calendar.
Had they seen you before?
A few of them, yes.
Does it turn you on to be the subject of a camera?
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. It really depends on the situation, but it’s happened before.
How did you first think of being the star of a calendar?
It was Julian’s idea. He was hungover. He has the best ideas after a night out. Somehow I’m always being photographed. Like always. And I’m always being posted on Instagram…
And thank god for that.
Everyone comments that I’m so bouncy and juicy, even straight people. There’s a girlfriend of mine who always comments and tells me how great it is that I don’t have any blemishes or cellulite.
I will gift her a calendar for sure
