Mornings that turn into days, turn into nights. Where boats cruise right and left in front of your eyes. Kids get the sea salt on their skin earlier than I have my first sip of coffee. Waking up in paradise and finishing the day in the local trattoria with the best pizza, where the best pizza is your next pizza. It’s the Italian dolce vita that has moved me for the photo story. The shores of Positano, Capri and Amalfi. And my own kids who just know how to make the best out of doing nothing. 

Catching the wind with PAADE MODE SS22 captured by SANTA PILENS

catch the wind

Summer boredom is the greatest source of inspiration.
And this summer we are going to get bored. For real and for long.

Countless times, we will shout out that we have nothing to do and that will spark
us to play rhyme creating game – where one starts the first part of the rhyme, and the second must finish it.
Or an alphabet game – calling as many words for each letter as we know, both existing and non-existing.

Then play hand finger football, roll in the lawn and make each other many braids with wildflowers in them.
Bury each other in the sand and lay in the grass so quietly that butterflies will fly and sit on our knees.
And splash in the water until we are going to find our own rainbow.
We are going to get sooo bored to be able to catch the wind.

WILDBERRIES SECRET

Those long winter months are perfect for cozy family evenings with tea, home baked pancakes with a special jam. This homemade wild berry jam took me to a magical place, full of inspiration and wonders.

What is the secret of wild berries?

We, humans are like wild animals, we belong to nature. I have come to realize that my true home is by a campfire in the forest under the stars (Christiana Diamesi, yoga teacher)

Paade Mode’s home country Latvia is unique for its forests that are welcoming everyone to take a walk, explore nature and search for treasures of nature. Each summer we disappear into the woods, enjoying its rhythm and ease, picking up berries and mushrooms and teasing each other about our blueberry-colored mouths and teeth.

These wild berries – strawberries, blueberries, rowanberries, cranberries and many more. Healthy, smooth, sweet and sour, juicy in every bite. Bold colors, ideal shapes. Food for the soul. Bringing rich flavors and textures to our modern life.

Small, tenacious, special, delicious and super healthy. The harsher the conditions, the more valuable they grow. These berries are able to make you more organized, cure your headache, brighten your smile, reduced risk of cancer, serve as antioxidant and provide you with many more things.

And especially in conditions of uncertainty we can learn a lot from this wild part of our nature, taking strength and optimism from wild berries. Keeping in mind that both, humans and berries, can grow even stronger when harsh environment surrounds

miilu

Miilu. Love you.

Like a touch – the most gentle dance of the wind. Like a glance – deeper than the universe. Like an accidental note found in Mom’s book, a drawing left on a pillow, a secret snowman in dad’s suitcase.

‘Love you’, when leaving for work or school. ’Love you’ when ending a phone conversation. ‘Love you’when settling down for the night.

That seemingly almost invisible, just about audible, quietly uttered whisper of ‘love you’ to the dearest, most special. That ‘love’ between the closest and significant loves of your life.

 

Paade Mode SS21 collection ‘miilu’ has been carefully and lovingly created at Paade Studio laboratory paying attention to every aspect and detail from the first drawings and patterns to sustainable and ethical production cycle.
