Scars of Renaissance 2025|
In moments of transition and deep transformation, when everything seems to fall apart or freeze up, we find ourselves forced to reconstruct ourselves with whatever is left. Scars of Renaissance 2025 reflects this rebirth journey, where pain, fragments of our identity, valuable and priceless memories, wisdom, and determination become the components of being born again. This collection invites us to hug the scars not as traces of brokenness but as symbols of resilience. Through this process, we understand that what we consider lost, sometimes insignificant or small, is, in fact, the most valuable thing we own, and it is with this perception that we come back stronger.
Developed with a perfect and delicate craft, the collection shows deconstructed and handmade pieces made by Paloma. The silhouettes, inspired by corsets, evoke disarmed and reconstructed dresses. Meanwhile, the scraps of raw leather, unfinished details and edges, and patched and upcycled pieces represent that what was once lost and discarded can be transformed into beauty. Every piece of clothing manifests the philosophy of creating something new from the forgotten, a visual and tactile rebirth through art.
The collection is divided into two emotional spectrums. One side explores romanticism through delicate and soft

colors, white and pink, representing this part of us that lives on despite the pain and suffering we’ve been through. The other side shows a braver and daring aspect that emerges and symbolizes the renewed strength and security that grow from rebirth.
The prints of visual artist Cyborgypo, merge with the inspired graphics of tattoo artist Armicc, manifesting these scars over canvases that play within colorful and playful, are intense and evocative. These same motifs are engraved in leather and denim, taking each garment to a higher level as an emotional expression of individualism.
The corsetry details, metallic eyelets, straps, and fabric- covered buttons are everywhere, reflecting the deepness of Paloma's artisanal work. Scars of Renaissance 2025 is her most deep and sentimental work until now: a tactile and visual story of rediscovery and transformation.
