PAUL KADJO

DESIGNER, FOUNDER AND MANAGER


Profile


As a young Ivorian-German designer, I will set an example in the diaspora and have an international influence.

 

I believe that there is a better way to design textiles and fashion in the future and that the positive choices we all make, no matter how small, can have a huge impact on our personal health, the health of other living beings and our planet.

Based on the raw material, I have an idea of how sustainable fashion can be designed. Fashion with coolness, style and character. Fashion that is visibly more: PAUL KADJO®.

In

search

of passion.

Born in Germany and raised in Côte d'Ivoire, I have had the opportunity to gain a deep insight into two wonderful countries. Sustainability plays an omnipresent role for me both in the Ivory Coast and in Germany.


For me, craft, art and fashion are tools to visually capture my thoughts and create intercultural exchange. They help me to reflect on social issues between generations and to find a common solution to the problems we face. Fashion in particular unites us in a fundamental way. For me, fashion design is not a profession. It is a means to an end to get my message across.


The search for passion began with my first fashion label PROTOTYPE By Paul Kadjo (2016-2021). The clothes that were created were initially free from commercial purposes and were more of a way to try things out and find my signature style.


In spring 2021, as part of my bachelor thesis at the renowned Academy of Mode & Design Hamburg, I presented the new fashion brand PAUL KADJO®. It was supposed to replace the first fashion brand with a holistic concept and made big headlines with its debut.
