For the first time, Parallèle left France to tell its story elsewhere. Rio de Janeiro, a city of light chosen for its energy and its unique way of blending elegance with spontaneity. Here, nothing is fixed
It all begins with our meeting Kenza Le Bas, a talented photographer whose eye captures light with remarkable sensitivity. A project comes to life: to travel through Rio de Janeiro in search of that particular sensation. A summer that seems to never end.
Sun-warmed stones, deeply hued facades, light sand, cars faded by time. Each location has become a setting for our collection. Woven leathers converse with Rio's mineral textures. Gold tones echo the ocean's light. Vibrant reds meet the city's colorful walls. Blacks come alive on Copacabana's famous sidewalks.
More than a trip, this project marks a significant milestone for Parallèle.
A way to confirm what has always inspired us: creating shoes designed to accompany women in their movements, their discoveries, and their memories.
