Since its founding in 2015 by Alex James and Vlad Elkin, Los Angeles-based brand PLEASURES has crafted its identity around SoCal street style with a strong focus on graphic design. Known for its collaborations, PLEASURES has previously teamed up with brands like Reebok, Joy Division, PUMA, and Moose Knuckles. Now, the brand adds the iconic anime series Evangelion to its impressive roster.
