A Print That Defies Double Standards and Celebrates Female Power at Eurovision 2025
At Andro Maria, we don’t just make prints. We craft declarations. Our latest creation is a tribute to Erika Vikman—a fearless icon, a voice for unapologetic femininity, and Finland’s electric entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. When we saw the conversation—no, the controversy—around her Eurovision performance outfit, we knew one thing: this moment needed to be immortalized in art. And so we created a print.
A manifesto in shape and silhouette. Acceptance and appreciation of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, gender, or physical abilities
A celebration of Erika, of body positivity, and for every woman who has been told to “cover up”.
“Ich Komme” – A Bold Song on Europe’s Biggest Stage
Erika’s Eurovision song “Ich Komme” isn’t shy. It’s not demure. It’s a raw, sensual anthem about female sexuality, desire, and ownership of one’s body. And on the stage in Basel, she didn’t hold back. In a culture that still polices women’s expressions of power, Erika dared to come forward and say: this is who I am.
Naturally, the backlash came. Not because of her lyrics. Not because of her vocals. But because her outfit—a daring stage costume—was called “too revealing” by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
Let’s ask the obvious:
Why is a Eurovision performance costume, no more revealing than a swimsuit, considered scandalous?
Why can grandmothers wear bikinis on the beach, but when a beautiful, confident woman wears a bold outfit on a stage—she’s labeled “too much”?
This isn’t about fabric.
It’s about double standards, control, and the discomfort society feels when women own their sensuality.
Body Positivity Is Not Optional—It’s Essential at Eurovision Too
Erika Vikman is more than a performer. She’s a body positivity advocate, and by extension, a threat to a culture that thrives on female insecurity. By celebrating her body and her identity on Europe’s biggest stage, she challenged the very core of aesthetic conformity.
At Andro Maria, that’s exactly what we stand for. We exist to amplify voices that challenge the mainstream. Our designs celebrate queerness, neurodivergence, nonbinary expression, and all bodies—not just the ones that fit the mold. Our Erika Vikman tribute print is a manifesto of visibility. Of pride. Of unapologetic beauty in all its forms
Eurovision Is a Stage for Diversity—But Are All Bodies Welcome?
The irony is hard to ignore: Eurovision has always been celebrated for its flamboyance, inclusivity, and creativity. In Basel 2025, we saw it again—bold voices, fearless performances, and messages that cross borders. But even in this famously accepting space, a woman’s body became a battleground.
Why is a queer man in mesh celebrated, but a woman in a bodysuit is censored?
Why are empowerment and sensuality still seen as dangerous when they come from a woman? This is not just about Eurovision. It’s a global pattern—where sexual empowerment is tolerated only when filtered through the male gaze.
Erika flipped the script. And we’re here to celebrate her for it.
