PARADI$3 is an amalgam of Sean Pablo's every day experiences presented in the material form of clothing. Raised in LA, his influences are largely based on his surroundings and the culture it contains. Sean is probably best known for his skating, who was given international coverage from his affiliations with Supreme and Fucking Awesome. 

Recently turned pro by Fucking Awesome,  Sean has been dividing his time between skating and coming up with new designs for PARADI$3. We caught up with Sean and also asked him about what kind of music he's been listening to lately.

Hey Sean, what have you been up to lately ?

Hey guys… nothin much. Missing the beach in Sydney. Im definitely coming back soon.

Aside from riding for FA and Cons, you started PARADI$E, how long have you been doing that for now ?

About 2 years now. It started out with a shirt with my friend Aidan on it with like a bishop or something next to him… its the funniest photo, I was like damn this would make a sick shirt… Next thing you know I started getting all these other ideas for shirts, and that's basically how it grew into the company. 

I think you have the best promo clips, do you edit them yourself ? That "bleachers and teachers" clip is all time… 

Haha yea, my dad and I work together on those. Yea that ones amazing. My dad and I have been following those guys for a while, and the vibe fits well with the clothes I think.  

Is PARADI$E an extension of the stuff you make or do you treat it separately from your art ?

I mean, it's all in the same. I guess to run a business you have to make certain artistic sacrifices, but we basically just do what ever we want…

Do you ever trip out when you see people like Kim Kardashian wearing PARADI$E ?

Definitely. Its a pretty funny to think like 'she has no idea whats she's wearing.' People hit me up the next day after she posted it like 'Dude you made it.' Ha ha shit is hilarious…

You've made a zine previously called, TEEN STABBING, do you have plans to release another zine in the future ?

Yes. Always. Shooting photos is something I'm always doing, so when I have time I'll make a new zine.

 

Do you have any upcoming collaborations that you are stoked on?

Still waiting to hear back from Moster Energy about our collab, but for the rest, you guys are gonna just have to wait and see… ;)
