Paris Men's Fashion Week

My favourite looks from the Paris men's fashion week! For those quick to judge, keep in mind that I chose these looks for a variety of reasons. When looking at the outfits that are sent down the runway, one cannot just judge based on face value. You have to be able to see a look and have the ability to disassemble it, appreciating each piece for the contribution that it makes to the overall presentation of that outfit, or the contribution that it could make in another. You have to be able to imagine certain pieces in different settings. Perhaps in a beautifully stylized advertising campaign, perhaps in a whimsical street shot. Fashion and style are never singular formulas. These looks have been chosen for a multitude of reasons and are appreciated for their versatility! I encourage you to think outside of the box when looking at these pieces and try to imagine ways that they work instead of ways that they don't!

3.1 Phillip Lim
Some great contemporary wear.
Balenciaga
Nice clean and classic lines prove that, sometimes, simple is better.
 Band of Outsiders
Amazing. Nothing like combining bad-ass and prep.
Beautiful.
Stunner!
 Comme des Garcons
If this is lace, then.. this is kind of amazing.
Dior Homme
Dries Van Noten
 John Galliano
 Givenchy
A great and vibrant print can do wonders for your look, if done in the right way.
Hermès
 Jean Paul Gaultier
What a sophisticated, classic look!
I am loving the draping of the lapels here! A very subtle form of theatricality that looked so great!
 Lanvin
Louis Vuitton
A great collection from the house of Vuitton. Very wearable, very chic.
 Missoni

  1. Hi, I am a manufacturer of ladies scarves and I came across your blog while searching for blogs about men's fashion. Anyway, the collection is a mixture of classic and very casual wear. I actually like a few say for instance that sophisticated, classic look! Very sexy.
