Menswear takes a dramatic turn with Dior’s ceremonial garb, Vuitton’s skyscraper jackets
Mode houses have become well-accepted to showcasing their latest collections digitally, now that online presentations have go the norm. Paris Way Week was no different either, with several brands presenting their collections through a series of films.
Paris Men'due south Fashion Week (Jan 19 to January 24) took place hot off the heels of Milan Men's Fashion Calendar week. Merely while brands that showcased at the latter seemed to play it safe, the likes of Dior, Loewe and Louis Vuitton went for more than innovative ways (and in some cases, dramatic) to capture the attention of the audition at home.
Here are the highlights of Paris Men'south Way Week.
DIOR
At a time when about brands are focusing on condolement, Dior went in quite the opposite management, debuting a collection of lavish ceremonial wear. In keeping with a running tradition of artist collaborations, Kim Jones, the house's artistic managing director of menswear, chose to work with Scottish creative person Peter Doig.
The painter, who lives and works betwixt Trinidad and London, is known for his enigmatic, moody landscape paintings, which gave Dior's drove a somewhat dreamlike quality.
Uniforms, including accessories such every bit boots and berets, were a cardinal theme to the collection. Doig'due south landscapes were transposed onto garments throughout the drove. The color palette was similarly inspired past Doig'due south work, featuring shades of bluish and brown alongside pops of yellow and orange.
Our favourite was the show's opening look featuring a glittering, gilt-embroidered glaze which took i,200 hours of work, worn over a armed forces-inspired star-buttoned shirt.
HERMES
For Hermes' digital presentation, men'due south artistic manager Veronique Nichanian teamed up once once again with film producer Cyril Teste. In the picture, models sauntered up and down the central staircase of France'southward Mobilier National building, pausing for conversation or glancing at their phones.

Hermes is known for its preference for placidity luxury, and this collection was no dissimilar. The clothes were certainly wearable for the times, blurring the lines between private and professional. "Within-outside, the clothes leave their framework," read the show notes.
Zippers ran up and downwards high-collared shirts, trousers were cut loosely and featured drawstring waists, pockets were applied similar patchwork and placed askew, giving the garments a more casual experience. To ground each look, models wore either glossy leather boots or brightly-coloured sneakers.
LOEWE
Ever since the pandemic hit, Spanish luxury fashion brand Loewe has been changing the game when it comes to presenting new collections. For its Spring/Summer 2022 menswear collection, the make presented a bear witness-in-a-box concept that included a popular-up, mini-runway set.
This time, creative director Jonathan Anderson opted to dispatch a "show in a book" to the homes of editors and insiders, a cloth-covered compilation of comics, collages and graphics past the tardily artist Joe Brainard.
Brainard's work served as the principal inspiration for the make'due south drove. Brainard's popcorn drawings feature on black jeans, pansies are scattered over loose, oversized cardigans and high-top sneakers. A sketch of an underwear features on a tote bag and a T-shirt. The outcome was a collection that was upbeat and colourful, captivating with its child-similar quality.
LOUIS VUITTON
Virgil Abloh, artistic director of menswear at Louis Vuitton, debuted his latest drove with a dramatic, multi-disciplinary functioning that composite elements of slam poetry, dance, concert, art installation, ice-skating and more. In this collection, Abloh explored themes of ethnic identity and cultural appropriation.
The performance, inspired past Stranger in the Village, a 1953 essay by novelist James Baldwin, is narrated by American rapper and actor Saul Williams. Dressed in a black coat, Williams is shown meandering through an abstract metropolis made of dark-green marble and a snowy outdoor landscape, interacting with models dressed in pieces from the collection.
Much of the drove was article of clothing, but what defenseless our heart were the conceptual pieces in the form of dramatic cityscape jackets.
The Paris Skyline Puffer Jacket presented the architecture of the French city, incorporating elements from the Notre-Dame cathedral, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower. Some other jacket, titled the New York Metropolis Skyline Puffer Jacket, featured skyscrapers from a variety of cities, including New York and Chicago.
When we can't fly to these cities, why not wear them equally jackets? We kid, of course.
