Launched in 2018 by its Spanish-born founder after graduating from Central Saint Martins, Paula Canovas del Vas is a Paris-based label recognized for its experimental and research-driven approach to fashion. The designer, who honed her skills at Gucci under Alessandro Michele and Maison Margiela under John Galliano, challenges conventional garment construction with sculptural, three-dimensional silhouettes and a vibrant, often unconventional, color palette. The brand is defined by its use of deadstock and recycled materials, transforming them through artisanal techniques that often nod to the founder's Spanish heritage. Signature pieces include the horned 'Diablo' shoes, which have become a cult item, alongside ruched and distorted ready-to-wear that explores the line between the beautiful and the grotesque.
