At Paloma Wool, Playful Materiality and Cam-Inspired Performances

Runway Redux is a fashion column in which we ask a designer to reflect on a new collection; this week, Surface reports on Paris Fashion Week.

Three words to describe the collection: Playful, intimate, and fresh.

Which look is your favorite? The knitted bandeau dresses that resemble a sweater casually tied around your chest.

What was the inspiration? It’s an evolution of our previous collections, continuing the balance between effortless styles and sophisticated designs; feminine and masculine. We also experimented with jewelry through a collaboration with Anna Santangelo, who specifically designed a fine line for the show.

Any favorite parties or events from the week? I’m back in Barcelona already and enjoying spending more time with my family.

You have a pop-up in New York and Seoul, and are bringing more to cities around the world. Why show at Paris Fashion Week instead of another global city? Paris feels like home to us. While we love bringing our collections directly to different cities through pop-ups, Paris is where the global fashion community gathers, and it offers an unmatched platform to share our evolving vision on an international stage.
