Happy Birthday to the Legend @ladygaga 🖤
At the end of each Mayhem Ball show, there’s a quieter moment that we are so thankful to be part of.
Gaga removes the makeup and the costumes, and returns to the stage simply as herself. She then brings her team forward together—sharing that moment with the people behind it all.
Seeing her in that space, stripped back to her true self and fully present, wearing VENIA is incredibly special.
We have always tried to approach our work with honesty and care—being intentional with each step of the creative process and the people involved in it. This is why this moment means so much to us. Being part of the Mayhem Tour for the moment that reflects that, even in a small way, means a lot.
A big thank you to @hunterclem_ and @gorgevillalpando for matching us up to this part of the show. Forever grateful. 🤍🤍🤍

The Fire Horse, long regarded as a symbol of passion and untamed spirit, embodies an elemental force — instinctive, courageous, unrestrained.
To encounter the horse is to confront something wild within ourselves. To be truly 自由 — zìyóu — is not to silence that force, but to face it. To recognize that what feels unruly is often the very source of our power. The horse and the human, the masculine and the feminine, mirror one another — in their independence and in their camaraderie. They stand apart, yet they move alongside.
As the winds of change gather, each looks to the other with both sovereignty and trust. Only by recognizing their strength together is balance achieved.

自由 (zìyóu) — Free.
In Mandarin Chinese, the word carries both lightness and weight — an inheritance of our eastern heritage, and a meditation on what it truly means to move. For us, 自由 is not simply freedom in motion. It is the moment of reflection at the start of momentum. The breath held before the first step. The tension between leaving and staying. The quiet suspension before change becomes real, the space where the journey unfolds.

Featuring our Deckard Fish Leather Jacket.
Each jacket is hand crafted from 58 Fish Leather skins, each individually hand placed, mirrored, and pre-fabricated prior to stitching together the entire garment.
Fish leather is an age old material that dates back thousands of years to the indigenous groups such as the Inuit, Yup’ik, Athabascans, and Ainu. Highly regarded for its durability and water resistance, many groups created boots, clothes, and bags to help with their daily lives.
Like many other VENIA pieces, the Deckard Fish Leather Jacket celebrates the fusion of modern technique with traditional craftsmanship— reimagining what was with what could be.
