HELLO FW19 // MIXTape

Music is everywhere. Rhythm, melody, lyrics, to each their own style and preference. And yet, it is something that connects us, that we want to share. Be it a list of favourites one gives their best friend or loved one, or just creates for their own pleasure, or an elaborate selection of tunes that brighten up life. What is on your MIXTAPE? Jazz, rock, pop, classical, indie? A mix of it all, or are you a purist? Paade FW19 collection is a mixtape of styles for every occasion inspired by movie soundtracks, chart toppers or even just that song that is forever stuck in your head. Paade is not afraid to seek inspiration in different eras of time, the collection mixes 90s pop, smooth jazz from mid 20s, classical and romantic tones. As usual Paade is a mix and match of romance, edge and trendy lux.

Embrace PAADE!

Our signature mix&match style is one of the key features of our collections. Wool meets velvet, shine mixes with patterns. Layering is a must.

 

 

 

 

 

Careful selection of the best quality materials, colours and textures make the collection stand out and be a perfect balance between modern romance, ideal for both everyday and occasion wear.

 

 

The collection represents Paade’s love towards music and art. The visual story is told and enhanced by the inspirational residence of the internationally acclaimed artist Sabine Liva with a selection of her artworks, interior design and love for music adding to the atmosphere.

PITTI & PLAYTIME & SS20

 

PAADE is a world traveler. With trade show season going strong, SS2020 collection HERBARIUM that was carefully and lovingly created at Paade Studio laboratory paying attention to every aspect and detail from the first drawings and patterns to the sustainable and ethical production cycle was presented in the romantic Florence, Pitti Bimbo and world metropolitan Paris, Playtime. We met our beloved clients, old and new, greeted the press and had the loveliest time.

PAADE SS2020 collection Herbarium tells a story of fragility, beginnings and ends, memories, longevity and mindfulness. The collection wants to remind you of that special feeling of capturing nature in photography and drawings, patterns woven in fabric, perfume and even food, pressed between pages of an old book, meanwhile, keeping in mind that all this beauty needs to be cherished, nurtured and protected for generations to come.

HERBARIUM

Sneak peek into next summer.

Imagine a forest … a dessert … the jungle … a vast meadow … deep sea … a mountaintop. Who and what is there? And who is not anymore? Nature. Plants, animals, insects … humans, roads, cities. Us vs them. Incline and decline.

DESERT Bloom

Let’s talk about PAADE inspirations. One of the things that never escapes the creation of new collections in our Büro is nature. Wonderful, diverse and a neverending source of texture, colour, and form.

Have you ever heard of a phenomenon called SUPER bloom? Also known as a desert bloom, it occurs in various deserts around the world. For this to happen wind, rainfall and warmth have to work together to create the perfect conditions for an incredible amount of flowers to bloom at the same time. Creating garments is similar in a way, the collaboration between the designer, creative team and production – between fabric, form, and silhouette. It has to be a perfect balance.

 

Dress Blanche inspired by hot sand and a scattering of miniature flowers.

The DENIM Edit

It has to be just the right blue. To remind you of the depths of the sea, gentle sway of waves hitting the shore. Or the fabulousness of the cornflower that peeks between the long stems of wheat in sunkissed fields. Snapback to the time when walking in meadows and running your fingertips along the rows of flowers and crops gave you that magical sensation of summer. Playing hide and seek between bees, daisies and the wonderful smell of grass. Paade loves denim for its Spring//Summer 2019. From statement jackets to fun dresses and extra comfortable skirts.

 


Mix Denim Jacket Mer with a pair of summer shorts and vintage-inspired knit jersey top.

 

Denim Dress Mer with over the shoulder bows and contrasting embroidered flounce. Cornflower meadows and the smell of summer evenings mixed with the sounds of laughter.

The ATELIER segment is the perfect finish, brimming with luxury loungewear and the perfect party dresses for festive outings, graduation, baptism, wedding/flower girl.
