A little full-circle moment this year: I’m officially a trainer, giving two lectures at the Design Academy SIZE, co-hosted by Zalando and VORN – The Berlin Fashion Hub.

Why this is so special to me is because over the past two years I’ve shifted my artistic practice quite a bit. I went from being fully hands-on with the handcraft of my fashion brand to also spending much more time on research and theory.

I really enjoy observing what’s currently going on across different fields like fashion, wellbeing, psychology, but also pop culture, and connecting them all.

After being in this industry for 10+ years, more and more people have started coming to me for my experience and opinion. Sharing knowledge has turned into a real passion because every time I give a lecture, I realize how much I’ve actually learned over the years.

Being invited to teach alongside a group of OG lecturers in the fashion world honestly feels like such an honour!!

What makes this even more special is that I always thought I wasn’t smart or well- spoken enough to teach 🙈

I grew up in a family of intellectuals, and I remember writing a story in my early teens and presenting it to my parents. They barely reacted, and although they obviously didn’t mean anything by it, I interpreted it as: my writing isn’t good enough.

Funny how long I believed that 🙃

Turns out I’ve learned a lot more than I thought.

So if you’re looking for someone to give a lecture, consult on a project, connect ideas across disciplines, or simply offer a different perspective — I’m your girl!

La Biennale di Venezia !!

First things first: this was my first Venice Biennale, and I’m definitely not an art critic—everything here is based on my own impressions and information gathered from various sources.
I was curious to see how the current state of the world—with its polycrises and wars—would show up in the Biennale and how artists would respond, since art shouldn’t exist in a vacuum.
The resignation of the jury—which had announced that it would not include Russia and Israel (understandable!) in the prize selection—made these political tensions especially visible. A form of protest I appreciate, but one that also raises questions about what symbolic resistance can ultimately achieve.

My absolute highlight besides the Austrian pavilion:

The Only True Protest Is Beauty at the Fondazione Dries Van Noten (former Palazzo Pisani Moretta) was a magical experience. Across two floors, Dries Van Noten brings contemporary art and fashion into dialogue in a poetic and highly refined way. All the antiques are original to the Palazzo; only the artworks were added.
You see close-up presentations of Comme des Garçons and Lacroix alongside contemporary art in a powerful, subtle dialogue.
Downstairs, the exhibition “Glazed Trays” by Xavier Mañosa had just opened, which is also why Dries himself was present during my visit—a slightly starstruck kinda moment.

Things I wanted to go to but didn’t make it to because I totally underestimated how prepared you need to be, and how each palazzo has its own opening hours:

Anish Kapoor at Palazzo Manfrin

„Helter Skelter: Arthur Jafa & Richard Prince“ at Fondazione Prada

LAS at Ateneo Veneto

„The Dreamer“ at Fondazione Querini Stampalia

„Shy Society“ by Studio Drift at Palazzo Balbi

„Transforming Energy“ by Marina Abramović at Gallerie dell’Accademia

„Screen Melancholy“ by Li Yi-Fan at Palazzo delle Prigioni

Erwin Wurm at Palazzo Fortuny

I spent the past year working on a new business called BONDYWORLD, and I didn’t want to keep the results from you. Together with my partners and .cordova we developed an educational platform focused on mindful consumption (specifically around fashion and fashion items), where every non-purchase is rewarded with a lesson on topics like the psychology of consumption, personal stories, podcast episodes, or even digital fashion via Avatar dress up.

It’s been an exciting year of research, building the business, and co-creating content with some of the most talented people in the industry (listed down below). It wasn’t just a joy to collaborate with Berlin creatives and our wider network, creating opportunities along the way, but also working with our numerous coaches on team development and refining the business model was incredibly special.

Of course, building a startup also means creating business and financial plans. After weighing the risks—and considering how much the technology market and the digital fashion space have shifted over this past year—we’ve decided not to pursue the startup further for now.

The learnings and the topics we explored have prepared me for my new career path and reassured me that the direction I’m now taking is truly the right and most fitting one for me.

Still, we wanted to share what we created and give a huge, personal thank you to everyone who was part of this journey:

Not for Sale 🥀

Over the past years, I’ve been craving more depth and intention – not only in my personal life, but also in my work.

What am I doing, and why?
What do I genuinely want to contribute to other people’s lives?

Fashion has always been my way of expression and communication.
But slowly, its role in my life has been shifting:
from designing products to exploring meaning, identity, embodiment, and intention.

What we wear, why we wear it, how it makes us feel – and how that feeling shapes the way we move through the world.

Creating with my hands has always been my most meditative state.
Through BONDY, I built a visual universe deeply rooted in my childhood imagination.
It connected me with likeminded creatives – and quietly healed parts of my younger self.

Still, my gut kept telling me that selling products as the main source of income never felt fully aligned.
Especially in a world of overconsumption, my responsibility as a designer feels less about producing more – and more about reducing harm, questioning systems, and creating with intention.

I explored many paths: rentals, digital fashion, collectives, art contexts, mentoring.

Through years of inner work, coaching, and reflection, I realised that besides creating, I deeply enjoy directing, questioning, and holding space for others – supporting them on their own unique paths.

So for now, I’m closing the webshop on 7th March 2026.

Releasing the ROSIER bag – double-sided, pierced, translucent red – created some time ago and shot in Paris by my dear in November 2025 – feels like the right moment to mark this shift.

It’s part of my series “NOT FOR SALE!” – a piece without the intention of scalability or commercial production.

BONDY remains – not as a webshop, but as a creative universe in transformation.

Rental stays.

The rest will unfold naturally.

Thank you all for staying with me 🌹♾️

Hi guys,

For everyone who’s new here – and for those who might have been wondering what’s been happening lately:
I’m Judith, a Berlin-born and based creative entrepreneur driven by aesthetics, depth, and purpose.

I founded BONDY in 2018 as a fashion label – an experiment. Bold, playful, extravagant. It opened many doors, connected me with inspiring people across Europe, and taught me more than I ever expected.

Over the past years, something shifted.
Creating collection after collection, selling products for the sake of selling, no longer felt aligned – even though I was good at it. Especially in a world of overconsumption, I started questioning what I truly want to contribute.

So I took a step back and started exploring what else is out there. Offline life became my focus. Growth happened quietly, behind the scenes.

2025 has been the most fulfilling and successful year so far – just not in the way I once imagined.
I’ve learned to allow myself more ease and to trust the process.
I’ve let go of everything that no longer fits my path.

The next chapter isn’t set in stone yet.
But I can already feel it coming ✨

Thank you for being here, for growing with me, and for staying curious — especially in quieter times. I’m definitely not taking your support for granted.

Happy Holidays, everyone — be kind to yourself and rest up.

See you in 2026 ❤️‍🔥
