Aariana x Submission Beauty : we’ll b ok, tgthr
Last night, Submission Beauty and Aariana Rose Philip took over Rogue on Allen Street to celebrate the launch of our new collaboration. As DJs Dylan Ali and Jooieworld spun tunes, the store quickly filled up, the mood settling almost instantly into something that felt like a family affair. Friends found friends, people stayed much longer than planned, and there were smiles all around as we finally watched the collaboration move through the room on actual bodies.

THANK YOU OWL'S BREW @theowlsbrew
Friends, family, strangers and lovers gathered at Rogue in downtown New York to celebrate the limited-edition products we created with Aariana — for the evening Rogue became an out-of-this-galaxy Andromeda experience.
Aariana was there in the middle of it all, surrounded by our shared community that has grown around her and Submission over the years. Andromeda glitter made its way across faces, bodies and clothes.
For a collaboration built around recognition, connection, hope and love, this felt exactly right. Aariana’s relationship with Submission started long before we began working on this collaboration together, and while the night was about unveiling our newest baby, it felt less like a launch party and more like a family reunion.

“I tend to feel like an outsider in the fashion industry, in spite of my career and all the stuff I’ve been able to do. But the way I’ve been treated by everyone at Submission Beauty has always been so respectful and kind. They genuinely believe in me and understand that I am their contemporary, and that we can do something together because they meet me where I’m at, and I meet them where they are. Most people don’t take that chance on me. I feel like they all have always seen the potential and possibility within me. That is the relationship: I love them, they love me, and I’m so blessed.”

At the center of the collaboration are two pieces shaped closely with Aariana:
Andromeda a plant based, plastic-free and biodegradable glitter with holographic black shifting through midnight blue and deep purple tones and delivered in zero-plastic packaging.
The tank, made of 100% cotton and printed with water-based ink, carrying her message: “icu i undrstnd u i<3 itl b ok.”
Last night, that message was everywhere.
Our favorite part of the night? Watching something we spent so much time making together become everyone else’s - finally seeing Glitter Andromeda and the Aariana Tank IRL.
Thank you to Aariana, to Rogue for having us, and to everyone who came through, stayed late, wore the glitter, took home a tank, danced, hugged, laughed and made the room feel exactly as it should.
