Well, Paris Fashion Week--and the entire fashion month--for men wrapped yesterday (London was a bust so it's really down to the week at Milan and the week of Paris). Here are some miscellaneous elements that caught my eye from PFW for Spring Summer 2024.
Burç Akyol continued this season's trend of sheer tops (extending it to pants and bodysuits!), exaggerated suiting, and sensuous wrapping with some exceptional pieces...his site biography says he: "FOCUSES ON ELEVATED ESSENTIALS OF THE WARDROBE, ADORNED WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SILKY REVEALING DETAILS AND BLACK SATIN FRAMINGS."
Yep.
Paul Smith had a fun trompe l'oeil moment...pants and vest were printed with sunlight slicing through Venetian blinds while a shirt was printed with a jacket!
Speaking of prints, Comme des Garçons SHIRT paired with the Andy Warhol Estate to put some of the artist's silkscreen paintings of celebrities on button ups, tees, and sweatshirts. You can see Elizabeth Taylor, Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe, and of course the King of Pop Art himself.
Jun Takashi of Undercover said men’s and women’s fashion was getting ever closer, although his approach to design remains the same. "Fashion should offer hope in the darkness, and make us dream." His eclectic collection featured fabric that looked like antique tapestries, Aubusson carpets, and upholstery fabric from the 50s. But check out the studded tops on those amazing ankle boots!
Speaking of shoes, Armani showed some really beautiful sandals, a cross between a classic T-strap and an espadrille with knotted rope detailing on the side. In white and navy. *sigh*
And just like last SS '23 when Dolce and Gabbana and Armani showed wonderful double wrap belts (
here), Hermès showed their version.
