Q.
How would you describe Deuxième Chance?
JC

Deuxième Chance is a Paris-based fashion brand combining archival pieces and ready-to-wear. We explore the relationship between past and present through hand-picked selections of archival pieces while developing luxury ready-to-wear. All of our collections are limited and locally produced.

Q.
What inspired the brand, and how did it begin?
JC

Founded by Juana Casares, it began as a personal exploration shaped by an interest in history, culture, and craftsmanship. It grew from a desire to bring these two worlds together, not only to inspire one another, but to exist as a unified language. The brand exists at the intersection of history, culture, and contemporary expression.

Q.
Your collections combine archival pieces and ready-to-wear. How do those two worlds come together?
JC

The collections bring together collectible and created pieces within the same visual concept. Both are developed from a shared point of inspiration, where color, texture, and materiality are in relation to one another.  We create a cohesive dialogue between the two, giving both the space to evolve.

Q.
What values guide the way you approach clothing and the pieces you select or create?
JC

Guided by quality, intention, and individuality, the approach balances preservation and creation. Each piece is selected or designed with care, with the ability to exist beyond a single life. Through this, we encourage a more considered approach to clothing.

Q.
How do you see Deuxième Chance evolving as a brand over time?
JC

Deuxième Chance continues to evolve as an ongoing conversation between past and present. Expanding its ready-to-wear exploration while deepening its research in collectible pieces, the brand positions itself within a broader cultural dialogue. Approaching clothing as a medium, we move beyond fashion, becoming a space for interpretation and personal exploration.
