PEDESTRIAN POPSTAR
With Pedestrian Popstar, we wanted to explore how clothing becomes a performance of everyday life. How much of a stage do we carry within us when we step out the door each morning? From the very beginning, Pedestrian Popstar was never meant to be a quiet project. It was about presence, courage, and the desire to be seen. Our inspiration came from the queer community—from people who choose visibility even when it takes bravery. At a time when visibility once again means resistance, we wanted to create a collection that says: I am here. I am proud. That’s why we worked with bold colors, expressive silhouettes, and striking materials. This collection isn’t about pleasing others—it’s about existing: loud, visible, and diverse.
PRAIRIE
With Prairie, we wanted to capture a sense of lightness — that hard-to-define feeling of summer, wind on your skin, and the calm that settles in when, for once, there is nothing you have to do. The collection is an homage to the quiet in-between: somewhere between road trip and retreat, between strength and softness, between feminine and masculine presence. We worked with flowing mesh fabrics that drape almost weightlessly around the body, combined with sturdy denim that brings structure — a balance of softness and support. Prairie was designed for bodies that want to feel at ease in the heat of the day and during the golden hour of the evening. The silhouettes are relaxed, like something you quickly throw on to walk barefoot through dry grass. At the same time, each piece is intentionally constructed — like an inner compass that connects calmness with confidence. For us, Prairie is a small escape — and an invitation to feel light in your own skin.
WHISPERS OF THE WIND
Whispers of the Wind With Whispers of the Wind, we consciously engaged with the theme of masculinity for the first time. It was an experiment—a play with form, identity, and movement—but also an attempt to open a new chapter for ARAKNE. We didn’t want to lean into clichés. Instead, we asked ourselves: What could a masculine silhouette look like in the future? How does clothing feel when it doesn’t just protect, but also tells a story? The starting point was a series of face pieces that resemble fabric caught and pressed against the face by the wind. For us, these pieces are more than accessories—they are statements. They speak of tenderness and strength, of what we choose to reveal and what we prefer to conceal. The collection itself is clean, geometric, and almost architectural in its approach. We worked with clear lines, futuristic cuts, and technical fabrics, all in neutral, wind-like tones. Whispers of the Wind is a quiet departure for us—a first sketch of how we want to rethink masculinity, streetwear, and the future together.
