We are small new fashion label. We are based in Warsaw and all our clothes are made here. The main creative talent behind all the designs is Joanna Paradecka - designer and painter, one of the finest graduates from Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts and Design, which she had finished in 1999. Her collections were presented on catwalks in Italy Mittelmoda Fashion Award shows and Milano Designers Exchange, Scandinavia as well as numerous Polish fashion contests including the ever-famous Złota Nitka. Joanna's graduation collection swept 8 prizes during the Graduation Gala at the Academy. Since finishing her education Joanna has created designs for brands like Davidoff and Mars International and their marketing campaigns. She designed entire line of clothes for a Danish Asian company based in Copenhagen and presented her designs in Denmark and Sweden. In 2001 she left for London where she had lived for six years. Joanna is back to Poland in 2007. She starts looking around and prepares for another take-off with the new label and an entirely different approach to fashion design. However talented, Joanna would not be able to bring her ideas to life without the invaluable help of our designer pattern cutter Gabri Kotyla whose outstanding knowledge of textiles, pattern design and garment construction makes it possible to move Joanna's ideas out of her imagination into the real world.
All the designs in the current line are created by Joanna and are based on the textiles derived from existing pieces of clothes. This is the new approach to recycling of what was previously regarded as unrecyclable. We recycle glass, paper, or metal so why not textiles. It is important to understand that we do not recycle rubbish but we re-use complete pieces of fully valid clothes. Sometimes they need to be slightly deconstructed sometimes seriously cut up and on some occasions a larger amount of similar pieces is necessary to create a canvas out of which one can then cut completely new patterns to make the final piece - the piece that in no way can be tracked back to the original shape. We have made skirts out of scarves, scarves out of shirts, coats out of jackets, jackets out of trousers and trousers out of cardigans. Actually there is no piece of garment that could not be remade into completely different piece. If you are not convinced please check the photos section and while you are looking at them please mind the fact that that everything you look at used to be something completely different. 95% of all the materials used in production of our clothes have been recycled thus helping us to leave minimal ecological footprint on our planet.
All clothes are made in our little studio/workshop on Z±bkowska Street in North Praga in Warsaw. We kindly invite you to visit but we advise you to make an appointment by phone number or email address given in contact section.
We believe in people's individuality and we want to pursue everybody's need to dress originally. We also believe in things like look, color, taste, style, design and quality. Especially when they are amalgamated and manifested as high quality fashion. We can guarantee that due to our exclusive production process all garments created by Paradecka Hand Remade are unique and future-proof. By that we mean that there are no two identical pieces that leave our shop so you will never meet anyone dressed exactly the same. Never.
