Fashion label 3.PARADIS launches its latest collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2019 season entitled 'CALAVIÑAS' showcased in a lookbook shot by Nigerian photographer Stephen Tayo. It boasts eclectic design elements and the campaign took place in Lagos.
The artistic direction was led by Emeric Tchatchoua, the brand's founder and creative director, honoring Africa through a collection of photographs that fall in the backdrop of unfiltered city background. The seasonal capsule turns its attention to tailored cuts and utilitarian streetwear silhouettes that take on a relaxed element of formal clothing. Some standout pieces in the capsule include washed hue button-up coats, roll-neck sweaters, utilitarian corduroy pants, and a series of tees that feature motifs that nod to the city of Lagos.
