Introduction
From January 16 to 21, Paris hosted the first Paris fashion week men, where brands presented their fall-winter 2024–2025 collections. The shows were a logical continuation of the marathon — the Milan show and the Pitti Uomo 105 fair. This post will tell you what the past fashion events were memorable for and what trends are worth paying attention to
Artistic techniques of Loewe
Jonathan Anderson continues to interpret his knowledge of art in his collections. If in Milan he paid tribute to the work of Kubrick at the JW Anderson show, then at the Loewe show the creative director used the works of artist Richard Hawkins. Bright collages, video installations, and paintings transferred to clothes impressed the guests who enjoyed the Paris fashion week men show in a huge white space. The brand's favorites were especially happy: Jamie Dornan, Manu Rios and other friends of the brand decorated the interactive decorations.
For autumn/winter, Anderson loosened his grip a little, giving way to commercial pieces that are easier to incorporate into a wardrobe than some of Loewe’s previous pieces. Cable-knit jumpers in various shades and oversized cargos, vintage-style sweaters and pastel-toned banana pants, oversized sheepskin coats and knitted bags sat alongside extravagant looks featuring leather blouses adorned with large bows.
Louis Vuitton's New Wild West
Having taken the position of creative director with a bang, Pharrell Williams hinted at the theme of the future collection already at the moment when guests received invitations to the Paris fashion week men. They received a signature Louis Vuitton box containing a cowboy hat. This was the hat to wear to the show to feel like one of the guys. Williams presented his vision of the Wild West - with fashionable cowboys who feel comfortable without a saddle.
In the creative director's view, men will not be able to do without denim sets made of distressed denim, voluminous coats with fringe, belts with carved buckles, and pointed Cossack boots in the next cold season. But not only cowboy elements are worthy of the clients' attention: suits in sequins and jackets with geometric camouflage coexist in the collection with huge monogrammed suitcases and Timberland boots, which were created in collaboration with the fashion house.
Ballet Homage to Dior
The main character of the new Dior men's collection is the great dancer Rudolf Nureyev, whose stage wardrobe was inspired by Kim Jones. The ballet dancer could boast a huge collection of bright and truly unique things: his looks consisted of textiles embroidered with complex patterns, silk and velvet models, as well as kimonos, which Nureyev seemed to never get out of. By combining these noticeable elements with the heritage of the fashion house, the result is a men's series with a couture approach.
The coming season for men will be elegant because the autumn-winter collection is created for evening outings. Fans of the classics will give preference to perfectly tailored jackets and coats, which are complemented by embroidery with beads and crystals. For lovers of extravagant combinations, tapestry and shiny mesh tops, satin capes, and trousers with a train, as well as the main symbol of ballet - ballet shoes reminiscent of pointe shoes, are suitable.
Colorful Oxymorons by Dries Van Noten
The one whose mastery is beyond doubt is Dries Van Noten, who never lets his clients get bored. From season to season, the creative director proves that the variety of shades and prints does not frighten him: he knows how to tame even the most complex patterns and make friends with seemingly incompatible colors. His arsenal includes many pastel tones that enhance bright, juicy spots, and abstract compositions that merge with plant and animal patterns.
With the same ease, Dries Van Noten collections change the classics, turning familiar items of men's wardrobe into the most desirable models. This transformation especially affected outerwear: duffle coats, trench coats, pea coats, raincoats, and work jackets appear in a new light with accent details in the form of voluminous patch pockets, an abundance of fasteners, and several rows of buttons.
Valentino fashion statement
This season, creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli wanted to surprise viewers not only with the collection itself but also with its message. After the Paris fashion week men show, the designer explained that the new autumn-winter series is his statement that we all need to change our perception of masculinity. Fighting stereotypes is the main task of men's fashion: blue and light blue shades should not be associated only with boys, and cropped trousers cannot belong only to girls.
With all this, the collection turned out to be quite laconic and understandable for both regular customers of the brand and those who have not yet joined the Valentino society. Bright turtlenecks in sets with shirts and jackets, cocoon coats in combination with knitted hoodies, colored trousers in looks with cashmere knitwear - standard combinations that can be easily repeated.
Conclusion
There is a diverse exploration of masculinity and styles showcased in the first Paris fashion week men 2024–2025. From Loewe's artistic interpretations and Pharrell Williams' Wild West to Dior's ballet-inspired elegance and Valentino's bold statements on masculinity, the season promises a blend of tradition, innovation, and vibrant, eclectic fashion.
