Paris Men’s Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2014, happening Jan. 15-19 – is always an exciting mixed bag. London nurtures and attracts new talents pushing the boundaries of what men can wear, while Paris showcases fashion houses that have been around for decades… mixed in with a slew of designers who love to capitalize on the city of fashion.
There are the designers that have been stitching similar luxury pieces for the main fashion houses, and we know what to expect: Valentino, Givenchy, Lanvin, Dior Homme. There are the brands that have equal history to their names but aren’t quite so predictable: Saint Laurent, Balmain Homme, Dries Van Noten, Hermès. And then, there are the contemporary designers who always have something up their slim-fitted sleeves: Comme des Garcons Homme Plus, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Kenzo Homme, Thom Browne and the now-designing-again bad boy John Galliano.
As the last stop on the men’s fashion week circuit (London and Milan come before), most trends will have already been scouted, reported, photographed, tweeted… But things always seems to culminate in Paris, bringing everything together and often adding a twist of its own. For the full schedule, see below.
