Aesthetics of Triumph, Morodanesque

THE ROYAL DIET

By





Remember when I visited Venera Arapu’s showroom last week no? If you don’t you must have some serious memory problems (or you have better things to do with your life than read “the virtual chronicles of Ana Morodan“).

Anyways, Ioana and I had the honor to be invited to try on the items we love from Venera Arapu’s new collection.
You know I’m not that much of a print lover. Never was, never will be, but every now and then I find that special printed item that gets to me. That’s what happened with these amazing Venera Arapu dresses!
You know, there’s a thing we all love, no matter if you are a hipsterish person or an underground character, we all love stories. And I for one, I tremendously admire the storytellers. That’s why I love Venera, because whether we talk about her public appearances, decoration projects, her designs or her day by day life, we come to the conclusion that Venera is a storyteller.
I bet you think that I started talking pointless again, don’t you? Ntz, ntz, ntz, to think that low of me…not nice people, not nice!
Now, the story behind this collection is the coolness of cool. Each item has a printed version of some of Venera‘s outfits on it, this being in my opinion, the real and most personal interpretation of the “I wear a designer on me” saying.

For me, the little admirer of her outfits, these dresses are the Mecca of Venera Arapu‘s world. I want to sleep/work/eat/go to the gym (if I’ll ever decide to start doing that)/go out/shop/plant trees in them. Did I make myself clear? I want to spend the next 6 months in those dresses! And after that, to wear them again and again, till the end of days.

I rest my case.
Good to know:
  • the pictures were taken at Market 8, a restaurant decorated and owned by Venera Arapu
  • the idea of the post title came from one of Venera’s designs which had “Royal Breakfast” printed on it.
  • we could not have done this without the help of the amazing Maria, Venera’s Pr, who heroically had the nerves to put up with us almost a whole day.
  • these items are part of a preview of Venera Arapu a/w collection and can already be found at her store (Banu Antonache str., nr. 59)
