Suits take center stage as designers Junya Watanabe, Paul Smith, and Juun.J redefine menswear on the Paris catwalks.
Junya Watanabe Man:Renowned for his creative flair, Junya Watanabe introduces playful two-in-one coats, merging tops with trousers and transforming classics into capes. Collaborations with Levi’s, Palace, New Balance, Carhartt, and Brooks Brothers add a unique touch to his collection.
Paul Smith:Paul Smith offers a softer approach, blending casual tailoring with utilitarian outerwear. The fusion of wide-cut suits, quilted jackets, and fine-striped knitwear showcases a classic wardrobe with a twist. The designer expertly combines autumn shades, incorporating foliage motifs inspired by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé wallpapers.
Juun.J:Breaking away from streetwear, Juun.J presents a more formal collection, pairing wide sweatshirts with impeccably tailored suits. The South Korean designer explores diverse textures and materials, incorporating wool, leather, denim, fur, and velvet. The unexpected elegance of smooth velvet, combined with disheveled puffball coats and tutu-sized dresses, marks a departure from the designer’s typical futuristic style.
Paris Men’s Fashion Week delivers a diverse range of menswear, showcasing innovation and reinvention in every stride down the catwalk.
