MY OWN WAY: Parajumpers x Fucking Young!
by Adriano Batista
Parajumpers and Fucking Young! magazine have teamed up to create a fashion editorial that’s all about being yourself and having fun with fashion. The collection features bold designs from the Summer collection, with a mix of vibrant colors and unique prints that stand out.
“Follow your gut” is more than just a phrase. The series photographed by Spanish photographer Manu Jaime reminds you of the importance of trusting yourself and your own decisions. In a world full of distractions and other people’s opinions, following our instincts becomes a beacon of authenticity and direction. It is a reminder to trust our vision, to listen to that inner voice that often guides us towards what is truly important to us. In life, this may mean taking paths less traveled, pursuing seemingly impossible dreams, or simply acknowledging our deepest emotions and needs.
What does it mean to dream the impossible? To choose your own path, regardless of others? To embrace the joy of the unknown? MY OWN WAY, Parajumpers’ editorial collaboration with Fucking Young! magazine, is a quest to discover answers to these questions – only to find them in the journey itself. A biannual print publication with a youthful take on fashion, FY! is the perfect match for the playful and adventurous spirit of the Parajumpers’ summer collection. Think mischievous exuberance combined with effortless cool: surreal imagery, bold shapes and fresh prints.
For guys, it’s all about giving classic styles a new twist. The Techno Puffers series adds a shiny, colorful update to the usual puffer jackets. The Rayner jacket mixes in some cool military details for a new take on old-school uniforms, and the Pararescue series offers a laid-back version of the classic bomber jacket. The Zander pants and Chip shorts are made with soft Pima cotton and have a relaxed vibe, perfect for easy-going days. And for those chill moments, the Cairo sweat shorts are your go-to, made from a comfy cotton-blend fleece.
For women, we find items with playful, sculptural depths. For instance, the ultra-glossy, down-filled pieces of the Moonshine series include the Petronel jacket, with its zip-pocket details, and the plush, hooded forms of the Melua jacket and Karissa gilet. There’s also the matte taffeta of our Super Lightweight puffer Geena, as well as our Olivia hybrid, which marries quilted shiny taffeta with a honeycomb knit for a reinterpretation of the classic light puffer.
Oversized silhouettes also feature, seen in the breezy lines of the Parachute jacket or the double-layer bonded Rica, available in a bright, zesty pink. Match with the brushed-cotton Space Fleece sweats in an off-white tone for maximum impact.
Each item in the collection is inspired by the spirit of adventure and the joy of exploring fashion in your own way. The designs, especially the tees with prints of the Dolomites’ highest mountain, Marmolada, are all about celebrating the journey of life and the paths we choose to take.
