ROUMANS is a interdisciplinary atelier based in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Founded in 2018 by designer, artist, and curator Sophie Roumans, the label embodies a refined synthesis of craftsmanship, innovation, and societal reflection.
 

Each ROUMANS garment is created with the highest sustainability standards, crafted from the finest surplus fabrics, alongside recycled and certified materials. Every piece is locally produced by a select number of skilled hands, all devoted to the artistry of fashion. By minimizing environmental impact while reshaping contemporary aesthetics, ROUMANS offers more than just clothing—it represents a commitment to a more enduring and inclusive fashion discourse.
 

For Sophie Roumans, fashion transcends mere attire; it is an expression of identity and emotion, a mirror of society. Through her label, she explores the deeper layers of the zeitgeist, weaving spiritual and cultural legacies into a contemporary narrative. In a world marked by transitions and questions of identity, she employs fashion and art as instruments for new perspectives and meaningful connections.
 

Beyond fashion, Roumans works as an artist and curator, creating immersive and interactive installations that challenge perception and invite engagement. Her multidisciplinary approach allows her to merge textile, sculpture, and digital media, crafting experiences that evoke reflection and dialogue. By intertwining fashion, art, and spatial storytelling, she builds environments that explore identity, memory, and cultural heritage.
 

ROUMANS, established in Arnhem since 2023, stands as a testament to sustainability, inclusivity, and artisanal excellence. Each collection emerges from an in-depth investigation of societal developments, interlacing symbolism, historical references, and current themes into a compelling sartorial language. The result is work that is not only aesthetically and technically innovative but also sparks dialogue about the world we inhabit.
 

Sophie Roumans (b. 1990) launched ROUMANS after graduating from the Utrecht School of the Arts and being selected for Lichting 2017 at Amsterdam Fashion Week. Her label has been showcased at Helsinki Fashion Week, Fashionclash, and M-ODE, with collections available at De Bijenkorf.
 

With her work, Roumans contributes to a fashion industry that extends beyond fleeting trends—an industry where fashion becomes a vehicle for cultural depth and social transformation.
