Paz Explores Time and Patina in Paris Fashion Week Debut

Paz made its Paris Fashion Week debut with Beyond Our Time, staging its Spring/Summer 2027 show inside the medieval halls of the Collège des Bernardins. Overgrown with climbing vines, exposed roots, and scattered leaves, the historic space framed a collection built around the idea of clothing that changes with its wearer rather than remaining untouched by time.

 

Without a public-facing designer or social media presence, Paz arrives after two years in development. The label’s anonymous founder is mentored by Guram Gvasalia of Vetements and Colm Dillane of KidSuper, debuting a collection of Italian-made garments built around longevity.

Leather led the runway in sculptural jackets, harness-inspired details, and corsetry before the collection introduced cable knits, sheer layers, and open-back dresses. The tension between soft and hard continued to manifest as crocodile-embossed leather came up against washed cotton and textural knits, while distressed finishes and exposed construction gave many of the garments the appearance of having already lived a life. Custom sterling silver hardware, chain details, and barbed wire-inspired motifs lent a hardened finish.

Produced in Milan, the collection emphasized craftsmanship without feeling precious. The materials were intended to crease, soften, and wear over time, revealing the beauty of patina.
