Concorde is a new brand of high-quality, eco-friendly clothing, footwear, leather goods and accessories. The aesthetic of the Concorde wardrobe is oriented towards the idea of travel, escape and movement. This means pieces chosen for a certain destination, a certain scene, or for a certain type of transport. Concorde creates garments inspired by vintage or even retro cuts, combining art, finesse and elegance, then brings an avant-garde edge to colors, cuts and materials.
Alexandre Belzacq, 28, is the creator of Concorde. He grew up in a family for whom travel was essential. His parents and grandfather worked for a French airline, enabling him to discover the world with his brother. This spirit of adventure was deeply rooted in his family. Brought up in the world of aviation, Alexandre dreamed of becoming a pilot from an early age. At the end of his engineering studies, he tried to pass the medical tests to become a pilot, but a slight color blindness, preventing him from flying at night, rendered him unfit, upsetting his objectives.
He has always had a creative spirit, which he developed alongside his studies through music, drawing and painting. One evening in Rome, Italy, when he was going through a difficult period, Alexandre remembered the clothes he had been drawing in his notebooks for ten years, without paying much attention to them. This memory rekindled a new dream in him: to tell travel stories through a clothing brand. It was an obvious choice: clothing offered him the opportunity to work with all the art forms he loved, such as drawing, sculpture, music, painting, cinema and event management. Today, he feels a deep desire to bring people together around strong ideas and concepts. Concorde Paris is thus the fruit of his experiences and a tribute to his family, embodying the desire to revive an elegant aesthetic of travel, combined with avant-garde, contemporary design.
Concorde embodies the values of openness and adventure, offering clothing inspired by men’s and women’s wardrobes, designed to be worn by everyone. Choosing Concorde means embracing the colors of joy and love, whether you’re traveling by plane, car, bike or on foot. The pieces are made in France, and some are made from dormant stocks of fabrics from a major French fashion house.
Creating an eco-responsible brand focused on travel is a challenge. To limit environmental impact, responsible travel is encouraged, and campaigns are run to raise awareness of the need to reduce polluting journeys. In the case of flights, it is suggested that stays be extended to limit the number of return trips. Contrary to popular belief, the future of travel is envisaged in a sustainable approach, integrating renewable energies and respectful materials. According to Concorde’s vision, travel will combine ecological awareness with cultural and aesthetic values, with the aim of creating an optimistic outlook and, in the long term, leaving a positive legacy for future generations.
