VENUS<br />
“What<br />
are society’s beauty<br />
standards and how can one free<br />
oneself from them?<br />

Even before humanity was hit by<br />
the COVID-19 pandemic, there<br />
was a trend of people increasingly<br />
escaping into virtual worlds and<br />
alienating themselves from reality.<br />
Much like various other trends,<br />
social media is also reinforcing<br />
this escapism and the creation<br />
of virtual realities and false<br />
personalities.<br />
Arabella Romen is a Berlin-based<br />
fashion designer who graduated<br />
2021 from Akademie Mode &<br />
Design (AMD) in Berlin. Fashion<br />
has always been one of her biggest<br />
inspirations.<br />
<strong>In</strong> a time when everything seems<br />
possible, it is even more important<br />
to ask what fashion actually still<br />
stands for. It is the reason why she<br />
often deals <strong>with</strong> socially difficult<br />
topics in her work in order to<br />
create added value.<br />
<strong>In</strong> her final collection “Birth of<br />
Venus”, the liberation from social<br />
stigmatisation is shown. She takes<br />
up escapism in fake realities and<br />
plays <strong>with</strong> sexuality in her own<br />
unique way.<br />
The birth of Venus serves as<br />
a stage to celebrate the new<br />
beginning of a visual release<br />
of stigmas. <strong>In</strong> the collection<br />
itself, sexuality is explained in<br />
a different way through various<br />
transmitters such as the optics of<br />
a birth through slippery designed<br />
prints and sexually represented<br />
flowers. The idea is to combine<br />
human needs and virtual<br />
dimensions to create a mental<br />
safe-space.”<br />
