Paris Men’s Fashion Week felt like a painting caught between adaptation and the classic. From custom-built runways outside the Garden of Versailles to Jonathan Anderson’s directorial debut at Dior, the shows carried a heightened sense of intention and precision.
European luxury houses are facing a paradox: soaring price tags with slower consumer growth. Now more than ever, designers are returning to what made high fashion so coveted in the first place — craftsmanship. The result? A fusion of glamour, structure, and uncomplicated extravagance, filtered through bold color palettes, romantic silhouettes and mixed patterns.
This season highlighted suiting, reimagined — layered textures, playful styling, and bold accessories brought a sense of ease to the transition from runway to street, while adding a leveled-up individuality that invites a brand new story. Naturally, my accessory-obsessed nature kicked in, sending me straight into a silk scarf spiral. I’m sharing five standout collections — and how you can take elements from Paris Men’s Fashion Week and make them entirely your own.
Louis Vuitton
Pharrell Williams’ latest vision for Louis Vuitton was a vibrant ode to India artistry and its influence in luxury fashion. Dreamy, Wes-Anderson inspired color palettes elevated commercial staples with an ethereal cool.
