Auralee
Tokyo-based fashion label Auralee made a case for classic style at their sophomore show at Paris Fashion Week Mens Spring Summer 2025. Growing its popularity in Europe, the brand displayed a collection of relaxed silhouettes in terms of office wear and smart casuals in an array of unexpectedly bright tonal colors. The color palette saw varying hues such as red, beige, pale green, khaki, denim blue, buttercup yellow, and the likes.
Louis Vuitton
Pharell Williams presented his third consecutive collection for Louis Vuitton as the brand’s creative director and it was the perfect representation of current day cool style. The collection featured everything from workwear to sportswear and most of the pieces featured pixelated graphic prints which made for a very meta appeal.
Paris Fashion Week Mens: Lemaire
The garments in the Lemaire show are anything but ephemeral trends. Each of the pieces are crafted to last years which therefore enables the wearer to build on a sustainable lifestyle and wardrobe. The collection features durable fabrics, high quality tailoring, and a neutral color palette for truly versatile menswear offerings.
Dior Men
Inspired by artworks from South African artist-potter Hylton Nel, who happens to be a dear friend of the designer behind the Dior Men’s collection, creative director Kim Jones, the showcase was an absolute delight. Kim paid homage to Nel’s work by featuring Nel’s hand drawn motifs like cats, dogs, and birds, onto buttons, badges and embroidery throughout the collection. The color palette was also full of life as hues of blues and pinks made the garments even more vivacious.
Loewe
Couture-esque and utterly singular in style, Loewe presented a captivating collection that represents artistic perfectionism and individuality at its finest. Some of the highlights from this unique collection are a stark black suit with sharp tailoring and an equally opposing gold gilded headgear, a cable knit top and shorts set that was made from hand painted fabric, elongated dress shoes, shiny garments made from shell and metal pieces and more such extraordinary designs.
Hed Mayner
Exploring roomy menswear through wide shoulder tops and baggy bottoms, Hed Mayner presented a collection that used craftsmanship and innovation to make relaxed fit clothing seem structured and refined. Rich in texture, the fabrics used and created were the real stars. Shiny coated cotton, intentionally creased fabrics, distressed textures, multi-textured gloss and matte fabric components, are some examples of the materials used for various designs within the collection.
Homme Plissé Issey Miyake
The Japanese fashion label showcased a collection inspired by the nature of wind which translated into clothing that embodies the nature of wind, airy fabrics, clothing that reacts to wind,and designs inspired by wind crafts, kites, and the likes. The designs featured lots of layering, the fabrics were breezy, and the colors were uplifting with shades such as yellow, orange, and red.
Dries Van Noten
Belgian designer Dries Van Noten’s last show after a four-decade-long career with his eponymous fashion label proved to be one of the most recognizable menswear showcases at Paris Fashion Week. Garments in shades of lime green, turquoise, and pinks, made with candy-wrapper sheer fabrics were testament to Van Noten’s mastery of texture and eye for using colors to make an impact. The collection also featured designs created with Japanese marbling techniques and other treatment methods to make clothes look more lived-in in order to signify the passage of time.
Junya Watanabe
Exuding a rebellious vibe that screams punk yet pushing the boundaries to formal attire, this collection is here to shake things up. The designs featured tuxedos layered with denim jackets, patchwork fabric garments made up of tartan, pinstripe or checkered cloth, sunglasses with attached earrings, band t-shirts like AC/DC, brogues, and baroque silk scarves.
AWGE
The new fashion label by A$AP Rocky debuted its first show at Paris Fashion Week and the theme was ‘American Sabotage’. The show had models walk with their heads covered in American eagle flags and plastic bags full of cash, while the clothes were in line with the street style aesthetic that gave off a dystopian vibe.
