New stores are opening in and around Boston, even as closures pile up

"'I was scared for everybody, especially being in Beacon Hill; there are a lot of older, at-risk individuals,' she said. 'There was so much unknown at that time . . . Yes, it was a hard financial hit, but it was the right thing to do.' With the Newbury Street pop-up, Daroie said, she’s trying her best to find a silver lining: A wave of corporate closures on the street could attract more independent businesses. 'Being a business owner, you have to remain resilient and be positive,' she said."

Allison Daroie, Paridaez

"How to dress for a day that includes a corporate meeting, a yoga class, and drinks with friends? This common conundrum is what led Allison Daroie to create her line of transformational apparel. Each piece in the collection transitions into a completely new article of clothing: One wrap dress, for instance, triples as a cardigan and a boatneck frock with a plunging neckline in the back. Sold at Daroie’s adorable shop on Beacon Hill, the minimalist styles are all made in New England in a premium blend of rayon, nylon, and Lycra, and come in a basic color palette for easy mixing and matching."

2018 Winner: Paridaez

"The power of fashion is transformative, especially at Paridaez, where the majority of owner Allison Daroie’s pieces can be worn multiple ways. Take the Albatross design, which works as a pencil skirt, dress or tank top, or the Hummingbird, a five-in-one skirt, shawl, scarf, hood and top combo. Made in Massachusetts, the neutral and blush-toned garments are ideal for women with limited prep time—including when you’re trying to pack a carry-on for a last-minute getaway."

Beacon Hill Extended

"What I love about the style of Paridaez pieces is that they are minimalistic, clean and sleek. You really can dress them up or down. Wear them all together for a mono-chromatic statement look, or mix them with other pieces in your wardrobe."

Allison Daroie: Paridaez

"Women today live life on the go. I remember when I lived in New York City last year, I had to carry a backpack with me to change clothes right after my internship. Thankfully, Allison Daroie created Paridaez (Pah•reh•deez) to fix this problem. The Paridaez line transforms into completely different articles of gorgeous minimalist clothing that will satisfy your minimalist taste buds. It was most certainly an honor to interview Daroie and learn more about this brand."

Boston Travel Guide

"As someone who lives, works in, and truly loves, the city of Boston, putting together everything to see as a visitor is really hard– almost impossible– to narrow down. The number of restaurants that I would suggest alone could keep you here for a week at least. But, that just means there’s a little something for everyone on your next weekend or extended stay in this New England city. Charles Street –Follain, December Thieves, Paridaez."

Local Love: Paridaez

"Allison Daroie, the founder and CEO of Paridaez, knows what it’s like to live a nonstop life and wanted to create clothing that could travel seamlessly with her from a workout class to a business meeting. The pieces in the Paridaez collection can be worn multiple ways, allowing for each garment to shift for various occasions. Daroie opened the first Paridaez shop in Beacon Hill in 2018 after showing her clothing at different pop-ups around the city. Paridaez garments, which are designed by Daroie, are created and produced in New England. Prior to starting her brand, Daroie worked at Karmaloop, taught yoga at studios around Boston, and is a non-practicing lawyer. We spent a morning with Allison in her Paridaez shop and tried on some of her pieces. Talk about versatile."

"Always up for a creative challenge, Daroie decided to draft her own designs. With a vision to move beyond the fitness-to-leisure concept, she sought to create innovative apparel that fully meets the needs of our robust lives."

Who's That Gal: Allison Daroie of Paridaez

"'My day was just beginning and I felt exhausted trying to get ready amidst a huge mess of failed outfit attempts. I realized life would be a lot easier and I would be less restricted if I had clothes that transformed into different articles of clothing so I could be appropriately dressed for any setting.' ~Founder, Allison Daroie"

JULY 3, 2015

"For the woman on the go, deciding what to wear can be a debilitating challenge... there is nothing worse than sprinting between commitments with 16 thousand bags that include your laptop, a change of shoes and assorted outfit options. Throw you workout gear into the mix and you might as well give up before you start."

Allison Daroie, Paridaez

"As a female, too often have I been in the situation where I have the clothes I wear to work, clothes for a workout class afterward, and then do I wear the same clothes I wore to work for a dinner commitment with friends? Or, do I bring another change of clothes and if so, how do I carry it all? Enter Paridaez. I met with Allison Daroie, founder of Paridaez, who had this same dilemma, which was the impetus for creating the minimalistic transformative clothing line. The Paridaez line transforms into completely different articles of clothing, allowing for flexibility throughout the day. All of the designs are timeless and seasonless, so they become wardrobe staples. Allison wants women to achieve their dreams, while also balancing health and wellness, to maintain a fulfilled life. The shop in Beacon Hill is gorgeous — it’s a must see!"

Top of Mind: How Do You Wake Up Your Creative Side?

"I design clothes with multiple functions so women can seamlessly shift from work to yoga to a night out. So I’m inspired by classic, timeless looks, such as a “little black dress” you can wear almost anywhere. Products like the Swiss Army knife also inspire me; they’re multifunctional and provide you with more space in your homes and bags, while allowing greater peace of mind."
