3.Paradis SS26 Collection: Inspired by “The Little Prince” and the Desert
The latest collection from 3.Paradis, titled SS26, is a playful and vibrant take on classic menswear. Drawing inspiration from the beloved French children’s book “The Little Prince” and the imagery of the desert, the collection features unique details and a range of colors that shift from earthy tones to electrifying hues.
Runway Covered in Sand and Guest Models French Montana and Julez Smith
The presentation of the collection was nothing short of spectacular, with the runway covered in sand and the windows tinted in technicolor hues. The venue immersed guests in a desert landscape, perhaps the Saharan setting of “The Little Prince.” The show also featured special guest models, including rapper French Montana and Solange’s son Julez Smith, adding to the excitement and energy of the event.
Shooting for the Stars to Lift Fashion’s Spirits
3.Paradis founder and designer Emeric Tchatchoua aims to lift fashion’s spirits with this collection, describing it as an “introspective collection” that explores “the illusion of time through the imagery of the desert.” The collection features illustrations from “The Little Prince,” Surrealist-inspired design details, and an electrifying color palette.
From Earthy Tones to Vibrant Colors
The collection starts with earthy tones, drawing from the dry hues of desert terrains with shades of beige, tan, rust, and dark brown. As the show progresses, deep shades of blue are introduced, inspired by the star-laden garments in “The Little Prince.” Towards the end, the collection takes a bold turn with electric orange and hot pink, evoking a smoldering sunset.
Classic Menswear with a Playful Flair
3.Paradis puts a playful twist on classic menswear silhouettes, including two-piece suits, leather blousons, elegant shirting, and roomy trousers. Each style is slightly tweaked with unique details, such as twisted wrinkles, multiplied waistbands, and translucent organza accents. Standout pieces include a coat adorned with various watches and a new rendition of camouflage embellished with glistening crystals.
