Paris always sharpens the focus.
Being there during men’s fashion week, surrounded by collections, materials, and conversations, it’s hard not to think about how ideas travel, and how craft moves from place to place, carried by the people who make things with intention.
What stood out most this season was the confidence of British designers working abroad. Not in volume, not in noise, but in clarity. The best work didn’t try to compete for attention. It simply stood its ground. Well made, well considered, and rooted in something real.
That way of working resonates deeply with how I’m building PINTO HERVIA. Small, precise, and focused on pieces that have a reason to exist. Being in Paris made me think seriously about the value of showing work in a context where craft is understood, where materials are examined closely, and where restraint is seen as a strength.
There’s something quietly exciting about the idea of presenting a small collection there next season. Not as a statement, but as a continuation. Taking the work out into the world, and letting it speak for itself.
For now, the work continues at home. The making, the refining, the waiting. But it’s good to know where it might travel next.
