Welcome to Episode 007 of The Venus Guide with Angelina Gergenreder, Founder and Creative Director of women’s wear brand EDARA.
“EDARA caters to women seeking a blend of elegance, sophistication, and contemporary style, with an emphasis on quality and timelessness.”
Angelina and I met at a longevity summit, that funnily enough, wasn’t necessarily in our “niche”. It had nothing to do with fashion. In this conversation, we explore longevity from a different angle. It’s precisely this timelessness, EDARA has built it’s foundations on:
We talk about the emotion of beauty, the way clothes and spaces feel on the body, and the desire for true belonging – feelings that linger, beyond time.
As we touch base with her brand’s launch in Milan, to her creative practice in Munich today, one idea kept crystallizing,
Desire is in the Details.
and it’s also where Angelina’s inspiration begins:
“Everything happens when I walk.”
From the tiniest details to the big questions of fashion, we talk about the importance of scent in a showroom, as well as the dynamics of deadstock and overproduction.
In this unedited conversation, we find single-word definitions for the cities that shape us, and the timeless traditions that keep us sane, while building a brand.
As I’m finishing up this little sneak peak, it dawns on me that building something real is an embodiment of desire – a constant gestation:
Desire is about movement, not arrival.
