Issey Miyake's rece collection was a poetic collection that was not afraid to play with color and took the viewer on a mesmerizing journey between texture, pleats and art. Miyake's clothes brought Bouroullec's artistic vision io the realm of wearable art, linking still paiings with the tangible and moving nature of clothes; So that in many cases the pleats seemed to bring the paiings to life and create the illusion of moveme in these works of art, even in a still state.
In Miyake's Fall-Wier 2024 collection, the dream of a bold yet harmonious ieraction came true. Bouroullec called this collaboration “a faastic experience”: “I discovered a lot from this collaboration. Our collection originally filled the gap between the two disciplines of paiing and fashion; It brought clothes to life and redefined the limits of fashion as a form of artistic expression.”
The color palette of this collection floated between white, orange, pink, brown and green. The brushstrokes in the paiings were quite obvious and the asymmetry in the clothes was abundaly seen. Also, the colors were combined with a delightful effect and made the oversized pas, shirts and ponchos look even more beautiful. Everything about this pleated collaboration was colorful and dramatic.

The autumn and wier 2024-2025 collection of the Givenchy brand was a combination of everything; From long coats to embroidered fabrics from the Ozwald Boateng era, men's silk scarves inspired by Givenchy in 1953, chandelier pris on silk trousers or shirts, and bearded fabrics inspired by Alexander McQueen's 1997 Givenchy appearance.
This collection was designed by the Givenchy team without a creative director in the brand. According to published reports, the source of inspiration for this collection was “a study of the new gelemen inspired by the character of Hubert de Givenchy”. However, the venue of the fashion show was so grand that the clothes did not match that atmosphere.
In general, this collection included classic men's clothes; But the combination of tuxedos and long coats with a simple turtleneck or a regular top with a cat pri confused the viewers a little. Many fans of elegance and beauty praised the items of the new collection and many others called this collection a “hot mess”.

Balmain brand
Name of the author: Nasim Puyansab
“This is a luxury collection, but definitely not a quiet luxury!”
Olivier Rousting, who has been the creative director of the men's line of BALMAIN brand for the first time, has used this seence as a source of inspiration for this collection.
The fashion show, considered by many to be on the level of grandiose couture shows, began with Loki covered eirely in crystals. These decorations were in the form of a picture of a face that, according to Rousting, did not belong to a specific person and was designed with the help of artificial ielligence. The remarkable thing about these crystals was their coloring in a light shade, the way they are made is like a secret belonging to the Balmain fashion house.
After 13 years at the helm of the Balmain fashion house, Rousting is still looking to flourish and create new ideas. In his fall and wier 2024 men's collection, he made an attractive reference to his African origin and tried to establish a bridge between Paris and Africa. To achieve this goal, Oliver had a wonderful collaboration with the famous artist and photographer from Ghana, Prince Gyasi, and the images photographed by Gyasi were pried on the clothes and represeed in an attractive way.
Among the other notable pois in this collection was the use of lip shapes as belts, brooches, pris on shirts and suits, and shoes, which evoked a surreal style. According to many critics, these items were very similar to the designs of Schiaparelli's fashion house.
Perhaps these artistic details were a clever sarcasm on Rousting's part; Because he said this before the show:
“Many people make fun of the shape of my lips.”
Oliver Rousting is a very confide and passionate person and is not afraid of being judged. Unlike many famous fashion houses, he did not try to design clothes with a female form and silhouette during the Paris Men's Fashion Week; Rather, he had expressed the freedom of women in fashion in men's fashion by using bold colors, decorations and jewelry.
Another highlight in this show was the presence of Naomi Campbell, the 90s supermodel in a cashmere coat with a metallic and gold flower bouquet around her waist as the finale of the fashion show.
