Love Story
|Song by Taylor Swift |
''We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standin' there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello"
Little did I know''
This small capsule was designed for concerts, for festivals, for summer, for love.Most of the fabrics in this collection are dead stock from big industries and some others are our own leftovers, we tried as much as we could to upcycle and make everything match, so you could mix and match as much as possible.
Of course our newest muse Inês had to make everything even better, she’s an absolute inspiration, and with her own personality and salero, she made this the funniest collection ever.
So this one is dedicated to all of TS fans out there, hope you live lots of amazing moments in these pieces, they were sure made with love.

Sapori di Sale
|Song by Gino Paoli |
This collection is inspired by the song of Gino Paoli and was dreamt during the cold month of January.
Many were the prints developed by me and Inês, and we still couldn’t find the right style, the right color. Color has been what defines me and of course my own brand Paparina for a long time now - when you think of Paparina, you definitely think of bold colors and prints. But since last year I wasn’t feeling myself, and was struggling of how to put what I was feeling into my soul mirror that is Paparina.
It had to be my sea and my Italy in my favourite colors - oranges with a bit of red, purple with a bit of lilac, a splash of butter yellow here and there and puffs - Sapori di Sale was born.
New fabrics and new styles are here too - our tropicália linen and our Inês relaxed jacket, the perfect jacket for a summer night.
Unfortunately and fortunately this collection almost sold out at Spring Market Stylista last weekend, so here are the last pieces of my favourite collection ever.
Hope you like this collection as much as I do.
Mom, this one is for you, because you love the sea as much as I do.
floribunda.
(Latin for ‘‘many-flowering) known as grandpa’s rose
Last year we lost grandpa E., and what's the best month to launch a collection dedicated to him? The month of love of course, dear February.
He truly loved books like I did, and last year, I was searching for books of flowers for our collection ''The Garden of live flowers'' when I came across the most beautiful roses, I picked one and Inês designed a drawing version of this rose. We made the ''rosa del nonno'' print with my favourite of the best selling colours at Paparina - lilac and pink, with a touch of yellow. Then we found the perfect match for this collection, a soft liberty cotton printed with the same color scheme, a french jacquard full of flowers and a soft violet glitter to match everything together.We decided to shoot this collection at Vale dos Barris, and my surprise was: when we arrived the fields were full of yellow flowers, according to grandma, it was his favourite color, so I like to think that he placed the flowers there just for us. So the photos look like a romantic painting, with mysterious clouds and a field full of my childwood's flower.Hope you feel all the love that i put in this collection.Avô, esta é para ti.
