About Paravent
Paravent was born from a love letter to Egypt's golden age of cinema — the velvet curtains, the smoke-filled screening rooms, the stars who made an entire era feel larger than life.
Every piece we design carries that same nostalgia — silhouettes drawn from old film reels, fabrics that move like they belong on a black-and-white screen, reimagined for how we dress today.
