3.PARADISby Emeric Tchatchoua

Born in 1988 in a working class neighbordhood in Paris, Emeric Tchatchoua is the founder and creative director of 3.PARADIS.
Growing up in Paris during the early 2000's, he discovered Japanese fashion through internet in 2004. For the first time, he found in fashion a language and aesthetic he could relate to. This was at that time that his interest in fashion turned into a passion. This era really shaped his vision and heavily inspire Emeric’s work.

In 2008, he moved to Montreal, Canada and attend ESMM Fashion School two years later in 2010. In 2013, after three years, he decided to pursue the launch of his own label 3.PARADIS, a menswear ready-to-wear fashion label that produces finely crafted clothing pieces bringing a refreshing aesthetic with a modern interpretation of collaged silhouettes and fashion story telling explored from a unique realistic perspective.
