GERMANIER SS23 Paris Fashion Week

GERMANIER SS23 Paris Fashion Week

"Taking holes and bringing them to light, appropriating destruction to transform it in a positive way..." A man's shirt becomes a draped sheath, and a blazer, a short suit sensor of orgones. Magic breaks into the great bazaar of the contemporary world, offering the office-wear its devouring blows. From ties to shirts, from bodies to caps, color "eats" the everyday, deadstocks indulge in all poetic alchemy.

Maison Margiela Artisanal 2022 Collection

Maison Margiela Artisanal 2022 Collection

Make-believe is driven by instinct. Born out of the subconscious, it is an imaginary expression of our innermost thrills and tribulations. For the 2022 Artisanal Collection, Maison Margiela stages Cinema Inferno at the Palais de Chaillot, an assemblage performance piece conceived in symbiosis with the haute couture collection. Identifying a post-digital desire for physicality, Creative Director John Galliano crafts a multi-disciplinary format: a theatre played out in front of live spectators, captured by cameras that integrate with the performance in a film simultaneously broadcast to a digital audience. The narrative was created by John Galliano and brought to life in collaboration with the British theatre company Imitating the Dog.

FOVARI COUTURE FW22/23 Paris Fashion Week

FOVARI COUTURE FW22/23 Paris Fashion Week

Being eco-responsible is no longer an option. Producing while respecting life is impossible: we must change the paradigm because it is no longer a question of "producing." Humanity will only be able to survive by placing back, at the heart of its activity, the only notion that should have guided our lives: art. "Create" instead of "produce." This is what Fovari wants to remind us through this collection; clouds are the cycle of water, and therefore of life. Their perfume is our soul, that of humanity. Materials are ethereal...

Thom Browne Spring 2023 Menswear

Thom Browne Spring 2023 Menswear

In 2017, Thom Browne expanded his oeuvre and put men in dresses during his menswear show in Paris. That collection, called “Why Not?” was less a provocation than a flex: The elegant elongated shapes Browne was developing for women translated, seamlessly and cheekily, for men. Five years later—and after a two-year hiatus from Paris—Browne’s menswear is back in the French capital with similar potency.

Comme des Garçons Shirt Spring 2023 Menswear

Rei Kawakubo has said that if she could have invented one garment, it would have been the white shirt. “It’s a fundamental part of a man’s wardrobe,” her husband, translator, and company CEO, Adrian Joffe, said on her behalf. “Shirt, jacket, and pants are the fundamental basis.”

There’s irony in the fact that Comme des Garçons operates a menswear brand called Shirt, dedicated to finding myriad ways to deconstruct a button-down.
