under construction

coming soon

a fashion blog for the beautifully conflicted

soft chaos. quiet glam. vintage pearls on cracked pavement.

this is a space for lovers of contradiction : where old hollywood meets underground rave, where we romanticize runways and thrift store racks in the same breath.

paradoxe étoile isn’t about trends. it’s about feeling.

moods, textures, silhouettes that say something without trying too hard.

archives, inspiration, outfits, late-night thoughts dressed in silk and safety pins.

curated imperfection. curated emotion.

welcome to the star-crossed side of fashion.

workshops & events

we’re not here to sell you a dream

we’re here to build it from scraps

thread, theory, late-night obsessions, a thrifted blouse that made you cry

this isn’t school

but it’s not not school either

we deconstruct in public

we talk about silhouette like it’s survival

we turn fabric into feeling and feeling into something you can wear out

no rules. just rhythm.

bring scissors. bring questions. bring whatever’s been sitting heavy in your sketchbook.

shopping (coming soon)
thrifted finds. small designers. pieces with stories.

curated for feeling, not trend.

wear what lingers. collect what speaks.

workshops (coming soon)
learn a new hobby or skill from an expert, a fellow participant or by yourself at your own pace. slow fashion, fast feelings.

eating (coming soon)
seasonal drinks, small bites, and whatever you bring to the table.

food is shared, stories too.

come hungry : for more than one thing.

wine tastings (coming soon)
sample some of our favorite natural wines.

we also offer “sips for the soft-hearted” which is a non-alcoholic menu you can sample instead.

located in Troyes, France.

exact address? hidden for now. revealed when the stars align.
