Johanna Tordjman collaborated with the fashion label 3.Paradis, founded by designer Emeric Tchatchoua, for the Spring/Summer 2025 collection presented during Paris Fashion Week. The collaboration brought Tordjman’s expressive visual language into the garments, transforming clothing into narrative surfaces where art and fashion intersect.
Working closely with the designer, Tordjman created artworks that were integrated directly into the pieces, hand-painted figures, drawings, and visual motifs inspired by travel and diasporic culture. These images function as storytelling elements within the garments, reflecting shared themes of multicultural identity and cultural transmission central to both the artist’s practice and the brand’s vision.
One of the standout pieces from the collaboration, a trench coat featuring hand-painted figures inspired by photographs taken during a trip to Cameroon, was later exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The garment appeared in the exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, highlighting the dialogue between contemporary fashion, art, and the history of Black style and global cultural exchange.
Through this collaboration, Tordjman extends her artistic practice into the realm of fashion, turning garments into moving canvases where painting, narrative, and cultural memory converge.
