Paris Fashion Week Men, scheduled to take place from January 16 to 21, 2024, is generating high anticipation with 74 labels set to showcase their collections. One brand that stole the spotlight last season was Louis Vuitton, who presented their collection on the opening night with Pharrell Williams as creative director. The impact of their show overshadowed many other events, leaving us eager to see what they have in store this time around.
The calendar for Paris Fashion Week Men is jam-packed with 42 runway shows spread over six days. Two major names making a return to the event are Valentino and Balmain, scheduled to present their collections on Saturday at 6 pm CET and 8.30 pm CET respectively. White Mountaineering will also join the lineup with a show at 7 pm on the same day. The week will conclude with GMBH, unless a surprise show is added at the very end. This exciting lineup promises to showcase the latest trends in men’s fashion, setting the bar high for the event.
Alongside these established brands, several labels will make their runway debut this year. We can look forward to the first-ever runway shows by Auralee from Japan, Winnie from the US, and Ziggy Chen from China. This marks a significant moment for these brands as they step onto the international stage and introduce their unique designs to the world.
The presentations at Paris Fashion Week Men will also feature some interesting additions. Kartik Research, an Indian label and semi-finalist for the LVMH prize, will be showcasing their collection. Known for its innovative approach to fashion, the brand was previously known as Karu Research. Arthur Robert’s French label, Ouest Paris, will be featured at the Sphere showroom for the first time. Additionally, Meta Campania Collective, known for its timeless Italian style, will be making its debut at the event.
However, some notable brands have opted out of this season’s Paris Fashion Week Men. Marine Serre, Etudes, Koché, Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Georges Wendell, Courrèges, and Bianca Saunders will not be participating in this edition. Lazoschmidl will also present a different format with a presentation instead of a traditional runway show, adding variety to the event.
With a diverse lineup of established and emerging designers, Paris Fashion Week Men is set to be an exciting event. From the return of iconic brands to the debut of new talents, the latest trends in men’s fashion will be on full display. Fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of these new collections, which will surely shape the future of men’s fashion.
