The upcoming edition of Paris Fashion Week Men, set from January 16 to 21, 2024, holds anticipation for Louis Vuitton’s next remarkable showcase after Pharrell Williams led an impactful opening night during the previous season. With 74 labels participating, including Louis Vuitton, the six-day calendar encompasses 42 runway shows, featuring the much-awaited return of Valentino and Balmain on Saturday at 6 pm CET and 8.30 pm CET respectively. Additionally, GMBH is slated to close the week on Sunday at 7 pm CET, with potential for a surprise show at the end.
This edition introduces exciting new presentations, notably Indian label Kartik Research, an LVMH prize semi-finalist formerly recognized as Karu Research. Also making their runway debuts are Auralee from Japan, Winnie from the US, and Ziggy Chen from China, shifting from presentations to runway shows this year.
Furthermore, the lineup includes French label Ouest Paris debuting at the Sphere showroom led by Arthur Robert, while Meta Campania Collective, featuring timeless Italian style by Jon Strassburg, Heiko Keinath, and Constanze Walcher, will present for the first time.
In comparison to the June edition, several labels won’t be participating this season, such as Marine Serre, Etudes, Koché, Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Georges Wendell, Courrèges from France, and Bianca Saunders from Britain. Instead, Lazoschmidl will opt for a presentation over a runway show.
