HOW DOES IT FEEL TO WEAR A GPP FLARE?
You know better than anyone what a Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP) flare feels like. What if there was a way to help others understand exactly what it's like?
Now there is.
Introducing The Unwearable Collection™, the first campaign of its kind to reveal the many debilitating effects of GPP, which range from physical pain and social stigma to potential life-threatening conditions.
BEHIND THE COLLECTION
Boehringer Ingelheim partnered with internationally renowned designer Bart Hess to create a fashion collection that conveys the suffering people living with GPP may
endure: a collection that’s impossible to ignore—and impossible to wear. The designer made use of unconventional materials such as paper, plexiglass, and knives to develop The Unwearable Collection™.

Designer
“This outfit captures how the symptoms of GPP keep Christine physically and emotionally separated from the people she loves.”

CHRISTINE
Person living with GPP
“When I was first diagnosed and the GPP was so bad all over my entire body, I could not pick up my daughter. Even if she touched me, I would move away because sometimes just lightly brushing up against different parts of my body hurt so badly.”
