Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter Men's Collection show took place on January 16, ending the first day of Paris Men's Fashion Week.

In this collection, according to the American western theme, artists from Dakota and Lakota were collaborated in the design of accessories. Some people consider the western style inspiration in this collection to be a big risk. Farrell Williams explained about this: “Louis Vuitton is a global luxury brand for travelers; This is all we are. One of my responsibilities is to take this brand to places, tell stories and create a platform for the new destinations we go to and be inspired by.” Some of the keepall bags were hand painted by Dee Jay Two Bears and embroidered on some of the speedy bags. Dakota flower, which is a symbol of nature, was also used in several items and turquoise stones doubled the beauty of this collection.

A major part of the color palette of this collection was selected from the range of warm colors that corresponded to the western style; But the turquoise blue color, which was used in a limited way and mostly in the details, stood out the most because of the contrast it had with the warm colors of this collection.

Other notable points of this collection include Louis Vuitton's reuse of checkered and pixel patterns and cooperation with the Timberland brand in the design and production of the boots of this collection.

The soundtrack of this show, which was performed in collaboration with artists such as Miley Cyrus, Mumford & Sons, Jelly Roll and Native Voices of Resistance; It was noticed and as expected from a Louis Vuitton fashion show, the event was packed with celebrities including A$AP Nast, Bradley Cooper, Carey Mulligan, Will Poulter, Venus Williams, Swae Lee.

Issey Miyake brand

On Thursday, the Fall-Winter 2024 collection of the brand father of pleated fashion, Issey Miyake, was unveiled at the Tokyo Palace in Paris. The 42-look collection featured pleated dresses that functioned as canvases for a famous artist. The collection, called “Immersion in the wild nature of creativity”, was a unique and grand collaboration of the fusion of Miyake's fashion and the designs of the French painter Ronan Bouroullec.

Issey Miyake's recent 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 into the realm of wearable art, linking still paintings with the tangible and moving nature of clothes; So that in many cases the pleats seemed to bring the paintings to life and create the illusion of movement in these works of art, even in a still state.

In Miyake's Fall-Winter 2024 collection, the dream of a bold yet harmonious interaction came true. Bouroullec called this collaboration “a fantastic experience”: “I discovered a lot from this collaboration. Our collection originally filled the gap between the two disciplines of painting 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 paintings were quite obvious and the asymmetry in the clothes was abundantly seen. Also, the colors were combined with a delightful effect and made the oversized pants, shirts and ponchos look even more beautiful. Everything about this pleated collaboration was colorful and dramatic.

Givenchy brand

On Wednesday, Givenchy's new men's collection was unveiled at the same brand's historic couture salon located on George V Street in Paris. This collection consisted of 34 looks and was, in a way, Givenchy's first return to its former aristocracy after the departure of creative director Matthew M. Williams from the brand. Gone were the 3D-printed sneakers, ripped jeans, oversized bomber jackets and logo-printed shirts Williams brought to Givenchy during his three-year tenure.

The autumn and winter 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 prints 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 gentlemen 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 print 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”. Inspired by all the brand's past collections and transforming them into today's styles, the Givenchy team tried their best to keep the brand's legacy alive until the appointment of a new creative director.

Rick Owens brand

Name of the author: Nasim Puyansab

Rick Owens unveiled his fall-winter men's collection on Thursday at his home in Paris, described as a “concrete palace”. The fashion shows offered by Owens have a very interesting style of aesthetics and excitement and are considered a “shocking show” in the literal sense of the word.
In the world of fashion, Rick Owens is the flagship of Dark clothing design, radical and avant-garde style. As in his Fall/Winter 2024 menswear collection, the puffy collars and pillows that were placed on the shoulders and rose up to the ears were a kind of break with the standard aesthetic elements in the fashion world.
Rick Owens is always inspired by his sense of revenge for the limitations and hardships he endured in his childhood. In this collection, he has metaphorically expressed his displeasure and dissatisfaction with the wars in the world.
He says about these strange clothes in a statement:
“Horrifying, inhuman costumes in a strong reaction to some of the most depressing human behavior we will witness in our lifetime.”
Understanding the spirit of the zeitgeist, Rick Owens named his collection after his hometown of Porterville and considered this small show a gesture of respect for the people and a protest against the cruel times we live in.
Among the thought-provoking looks of this collection were biker-style leather clothes and giant cardigans that could fit 2 or 3 people.
Among the other highlights of this show were boots like balloons and balloon shoes, furry capes of superheroes and clothes similar to astronauts' clothes, which were reminiscent of aliens and inspired his apocalyptic thinking.
Owens admits that the futuristic and hopeful dream is palpable in his collections. He said:
“I transform the despair of the current situation into a better and more magical place through a futuristic attitude and passion and hope.”

On the third day of Paris Men's Fashion Week, Amiri brand presented its latest collection. The invitation of this fashion show was in the form of a box in which there was a screen to show the promotional teaser of the fashion show. Also, an invitation card and a knitted hat with the information of this show embroidered on the back were in this box.

Mike Amiri, the creative director and founder of this brand, who was born from an Iranian family in America, used loose suits and layering techniques in this collection, using stones and gems in many items, as well as shiny fabrics and sequins. had increased the brilliance of his collection.

This dream collection was inspired by the fashion of the 50s and 90s and the red carpet style of the Hollywood stars of that period. The promotional teasers of this show, including videos of a theater and a director's chair that showed the brand title and history of the fashion show, a film reel with the Amiri brand logo and moments from the red carpets of the 90s, all had signs of this source of inspiration. .

Amiri says about this: “I was thinking about the young actors of the mid-90s, artists like the young DiCaprio who were at the peak of their development and became real artists in the cinema after starting their career on television.”

As a result, the source of inspiration for this collection was seen in parts such as 90s model pants and motifs from the 50s, and the presence of large curtains in the background of this show created an atmosphere similar to a theater or cinema.

Hats are one of the regular accessories in Amiri brand collections, and in this collection beanie hats with stone embroidery decorations played a prominent role.

Also, the brooch and the neck scarf (only a small part of which came out from under the other clothes) were also seen as the signature of the brand in this collection.

One of the notable looks in this collection included a pink embroidered wool jacket with pink trousers. This look evoked the style of the famous singer, Harry Styles. Considering that Amiri's clothes have been Harry Styles' choices in the past, it is not unlikely that we will see him wearing this look in the future.

KENZO brand

In a fascinating intersection of culture, style and history, Kenzo unveiled its fall-winter 2024-25 men's collection on Friday. This show was held in an unexpected but appropriate place, that is, in the Richelieu National Library of France. Located across the street from Kenzo's studio, this magnificent library served as the iconic backdrop for Kenzo's recent collection, which was full of diverse cultural references. The invitation card of this show was a blue book with the word Kenzo written from the first page to the end. Famous people were also guests of this fashion show: from Pharrell Williams to Sidney Toledano, Rita Ora and Zayn Malik, who made a lot of noise with his presence.

Nigo, Kenzo's creative director, tried to create a new experience with his collection. He went beyond the boundaries and presented viewers with a fresh and original view of what Paris and Tokyo have in common. This magnificent library provided an environment for Kenzo to combine tradition with his contemporary flair. Nigo's adaptation of Japanese tatami mats in fabric printing had become a recurring and striking pattern. Also, the motif of beech stems, which is known as Karakosa and has a Chinese-Egyptian origin, was seen abundantly in the fabrics of this collection.
The final outfits, from oversized gardening gloves to aviators and deconstructed jeans, all had a mysterious vibe. School uniforms with collarless jackets also became the key to Nigo's collection. This collection also unveiled a number of women's clothes that reminded of traditional Japanese women's clothes; From tight dresses that highlighted the hips to knotted leather belts and open collars. The presence of vests with pockets on the clothes transported the audience from the past to the realm of future aesthetics. Classic duffle coats were given a contemporary twist with jacquard weave, and letterman jackets emblazoned with Kenzo logos offered viewers a contemporary yet classic look.

Valentino brand

Author: Behar Ehteshami

On January 20, 2024, Valentino unveiled his fall-winter 2024-25 men's collection in 51 looks.

The name of this show was in French (Le Ciel), which means the sky.

The use of sky blue color can be seen in parts of the decor and in a number of looks.

According to the creative director of this brand, Pier Paolo Piccioli has designed this collection with the aim of countering the symbols of toxic masculinity.

He has used colors to convey his ideas and ideals. Blue, which is a lasting symbol of masculinity in the eyes of the general public, undergoes changes in this collection and finds its way to modern masculinity by re-evaluation.

To counter the symbols of toxic masculinity, Picchuli said he combined men's tailoring with women's haute couture practices.

At first glance, many of the looks in his 2024-25 menswear collection may appear to be blazers and casual looks in general, but Picchuli has stated that the techniques and fabrics used are derived from haute couture practices; Such as silk linings and the use of round shapes in clothes.

One of the special guests of this show was Zayn Malek, who appeared in a suit from Valentino's spring and summer 2024 collection.

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 sentence 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 entirely 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 intelligence. 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 winter 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 printed on the clothes and represented in an attractive way.

Among the other notable points in this collection was the use of lip shapes as belts, brooches, prints 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 confident 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.

brand Hermes

Hermes' 2024-2025 men's collection was presented on the fifth day of Paris Fashion Week. Veronik Nishanian, the creative director of the men's line of this brand, described this collection as stylish and displayed his usual sense of playfulness in this collection.

Unlike most of the collections of this season, the 2024-2025 men's collection of the Hermes brand included fit items and rarely went for oversized clothes.

The color palette of this collection emphasized more on neutral colors including gray and black, which looked more alive next to the shades of green, orange and purple.

Among the accessories of this collection, we can mention bucket and nose hats, bags and necklaces. These accessories were seen next to the leather fabric of the clothes and the rhombus pattern of the textures, which was presented in a new way.

In general, this collection can be considered a stylish and well-tailored collection that reminded of the eternal beauty of Hermes.
