History of Paradoxe Paris
THE ORIGIN
Paradoxe Paris was founded in 2017 in Paris by Elie Saada and Jérémy Sebaoun.
No narrative. No folklore.
Just a shared obsession with precision of execution and internal construction processes.
We are not stylists. We are not from fashion. We do not design to please. We are textile technicians. What drives us: construction, material, constraint.
Leather is central. It is the most dignified material. For us, a piece without leather is structurally weak. Every design decision begins with the material. And the material begins with leather.
Every detail is pushed to its breaking point. No visual softening. No decorative intention. Only textile decisions. Materials are filtered, not chosen for their look, but for their reaction to cutting, compression, abrasion.
Rigid leathers. Dry denim. Absorbent velvet. Technical selection. Closed application. Paradoxe Paris follows a self-contained method: textile mastery, volume control, rejection of the decorative.
Total execution. Filtered materials. Unsoftened detail.
INSPIRATIONS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
At Paradoxe Paris, we value relentless craftsmanship, detail irritation, and the mental swamp of complexity.
Our relationship with leather and denim is physical, direct. We manipulate them, constrain them, distort them. Not to innovate, but to provoke the viewer’s retina.
Each cut is generated by textile technique. Each form is a blockage, a refusal, a visible constraint.
No fluidity. No pursuit of elegance.
Only execution pushed to its limit.
We don’t aim for beauty.
We aim for controlled imbalance.
