do you feel it? Paolo Gelb


In the year 1966...

...a little boy saw the light of the world for the first time. From the proud mummy Gelb he got the melodic name Paolo. Paolo Gelb, a name which reminded his mummy of sun, warmth, the south, love and temper.
Paolo opened his eyes and saw his mother and… one heard his first cry. A cry… so penetrating, so desperate and so shocking! Just because mummy worn something, which was not bearable... Trousers of cord... Cord trousers! In bright yellow colors! Can that be possible? Cord trousers!
Paolo's desperate view lowered and moved down. Suddenly his sweet baby head blew up like a balloon, became fire red and he recognized that he lay packed in a woollen mesh tangle in the cradle, which emerged as trousers of cord... yellow cord trousers! And Paolo cried still more.




This shock, this experience, everything what he saw, the cry... should shape him from now of. Many years passed, but the memories remained. In a time, in which one has the impression, the colors of fashion were limited to black, brown and green; and humans wear their bored and hopeless emotions like dress bags to light, fear overcame Paolo and he began to ask himself... "Where are all the colors, the bright yellow one´s and the courage for new creations? Where is the longing to express the warm sun, the south, love and temper in fashion?" Paolo Gelb thoughts walked back to the moment when everything began; when he saw himself and his mother the first time... with yellow cord trousers... and he cried. A cry of easement, a feeling of release... And a miracle happened. An inspiration roused in his heart which changed everything. Do you feel how you can create colors, samples and motives of unlimited possibilities and in an unimagined variety? Do you feel the warm nativeness of wool and the strength of bright colours combined with classical Jeans? Do you want emotions and creations, which nobody can wear but which are wanted by everybody?
