BERLIN FASHION WEEK { DEBUT } @ DOCK 11 ✧ 08/02/24

Mona Cordes is a single person brand with in house production, from her Berlin home studio. Cordes is showcasing her new collection ‘SOOTHEON’.
The collection is about community x unity as individuals and in community. Lives are lived so differently depending on our upbringing, race, heritage, gender, community, education, connections, health ++ +

What is my or our essence of today’s life as a human being on planet earth? What is important to me and to my community? Do I feel mattering + belonging? What drives me, determines my being + living? Where do I stand in life? Am I content and happy? Do I have to be happy? Am I pursuing what I should or what I want to? Can I accept being human? What does it mean to be fulfilled? How do I live freely without worries? Is it ever possible? What is the right balance? What is to live a life + die, how old will I be? What is to last forever? Can we live forever? How is it to die + to live again? Too many questions! Too many answers! Can we take a pause + soothe into the moment and feel gratitude of being here.

It is a path, uncertainty with excitement.
Let’s be thankful for being here, born into the planet earth. Getting to know ourselves and others, experience a whole life, and further. Let’s take a moment - feel grateful, gentle, at ease, SOOTHEON. Take a good breath. Soothe into, new days, weeks, months, years, time goes with us. We go, we lead. Take your lead. Let’s live, however you may. Remember to ‘SOOTHEON’. Soothe in, feel content, gratitude, mattering. Life is precious, as individuals and as a community. Let’s create peace + love + community + unity and fulfil our lives with belonging + purpose. Let’s fuel each other with love, with passion, with strength + with energy + with connection + with a few warm words. Support each other, burn for yourself + for the ones close to you. In this uncertain world we have to take action, use our voice, take courage, recognition, will, strength++ +++ the list is indefinite ∞
