FINALIST OF THE 2024 LVMH PRIZE

Paolo Carzanaby Paolo Carzana

Paolo Carzana is a Welsh London-based designer. Crafting collections with organic, plant-based and antique materials, Carzana sculpts his clothing, building emotionally driven silhouettes through creative cutting and delicate construction. Vegetables, flowers and spices make up the dyes of his fabrics, while his designs strike a the balance between strength and fragility. An earth-sensitive and inspired colour palette is created to channel the importance of the handmade, with ornate attention to details and finishing. Welsh textiles are carved through tailoring and draping in a romantic and deconstructed approach, to showcase a modern luxury built into a world of hope and fight for change.
