Dear Shaded Viewers,
PAZ made its Paris Fashion Week debut with Beyond Our Time, presented inside the Collège des Bernardins. The setting felt like a natural extension of the collection. Ancient stone walls, climbing vines, exposed roots, and scattered leaves created an atmosphere where architecture and nature seemed to have evolved together over centuries.
The collection explored the passing of time through clothing designed to change with the person wearing it. Sculptural leather coats, corsetry, harnesses, and elongated tailoring gradually gave way to softer knitwear, fluid silhouettes, open backs, and transparent layers. Distressed finishes, washed fabrics, and visible construction suggested that wear is part of a garment’s story rather than something to conceal.
Leather remained at the heart of the collection, accompanied by crocodile-embossed textures, washed cotton, and knitwear developed to age naturally. Solid silver hardware replaced conventional trims throughout, while chains and barbed wire appeared as recurring details, adding another layer to the collection’s visual language.
Produced in Milan, every piece reflects careful craftsmanship and an interest in longevity. For a first runway presentation, PAZ introduced a clear point of view. The collection asked a simple question that lingered after the final look: what makes a garment worth keeping?
Yours digitally,
Pedro
