Coding Paradise

Coding Paradise is a transformative collection that ensures its wearer is prepared for any weather and any situation. Inspired by the subculture of hackers, one side of the garment is muted tones and technocratic peculiarities - until it is changed: turned around, flipped. Then there’s another piece of clothing; a style characterised by the diversity of Hawaiian nature, culture and colour. The collection reacts to the wish for a quick change in style and functionality along with durability. Romana used second-hand clothing to develop prototypes and mainly deadstock fabrics and yarns for the final collection which also includes some hand-dyed fabric.
