Paris Men’s Fashion Week: 7 Designers Defining the Future of Menswear

Paris Men’s Fashion Week isn’t just a runway event—it’s a cultural reset for menswear. From boundary-pushing silhouettes to bold reimaginings of classic menswear, the biggest names in fashion are setting the tone for what’s next. And if there’s one thing this generation loves, it’s style that makes a statement. This year, designers are embracing gender-fluid tailoring, unexpected textures, and futuristic aesthetics, proving that menswear is no longer about rules—it’s about expression. Whether oversized blazers, sheer layers, or avant-garde streetwear, this year’s  Paris Men’s Fashion Week collections are redefining masculinity in fashion.

We’ve handpicked seven standout designers who stole the show with bold creativity, innovative designs, and boundary-pushing creations. So, who’s leading the revolution? Let’s dive in! 

Saint Laurent 

For the Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, Anthony Vaccarello of Saint Laurent drew inspiration from Robert Mapplethorpe’s provocative 1980s portraits, blending sensuality with sharp tailoring. Set to Leonard Cohen’s You Want It Darker, the runway featured cinched leather coats, oversized feathered outerwear, and thigh-high boots, adding a bold, seductive edge to menswear. Vaccarello’s signature ’80s-inspired suiting remained a highlight, reimagined with modern sophistication. Staged at Paris’ Bourse de Commerce during Couture Week, the collection stood out as one of the season’s best. With stars like Steve Lacy and Zoë Kravitz in the front row, Saint Laurent yet again redefined power dressing.

Amiri

Mike Amiri paid tribute to Hollywood and Los Angeles through his recent collection, celebrating the city’s spirit of dreams, reinvention, and optimism. Inspired by the late 1960s and early ’70s, the collection reimagined vintage officewear with a modern edge. Slick tailoring, knotted neckties, and relaxed trousers defined the silhouettes, paired effortlessly with sharp boots. Waist-cinching leather trenches in buttery hues and deep chocolate brown added a touch of cinematic drama. A stylish nod to The Nice Guys, this collection captured the effortless cool of LA’s golden era, blending nostalgia with contemporary sophistication.

Dior

Designer Kim Jones revisited Dior’s mid-1950s Ligne H, translating its graphic, angular lines into modern menswear. Blending extravagance with simplicity, the collection honoured Dior’s couture heritage despite having never done menswear in its founder’s time. Staged in a minimalist white space outside École Militaire, the show featured silk blouses, impeccably crafted leather jackets, and crystal-embellished coats. The finale? A breathtaking baby pink opera coat, reinforcing Jones’ mastery of men’s couture. Fresh off receiving the Légion d’Honneur, Jones delivered one of his finest Dior collections.

Louis Vuitton

Pharrell Williams showcased his most promising collection yet for Louis Vuitton, collaborating with Nigo, founder of A Bathing Ape and Kenzo’s creative director. The collection featured signature styles like blazers, flared trousers, camel and scarlet varsity jackets (reminiscent of their Billionaire Boys Club work), and waist-cinched leather trench coats. Accessories included the return of the Speedy bag in baby pink monogram and a new lobster-shaped handbag.

Hermès

Véronique Nichanian, Hermès’ artistic director for menswear for 36 years, continues to excel with her AW’25 collection, offering luxurious and wearable pieces. The collection featured soft, tactile fabrics like snowy alpaca, cashmere flannel, velvet, sheepskin, bouclé, and teddy mohair. Key pieces included chunky knits, slim-fit trousers, dark brown leather jackets, and balaclavas. For everyday wear, graphic zip-up knits were paired with simple slacks, while tailoring showcased supple velvet. The colour palette leaned into muted tones like charcoal grey, pruner, chrome green, and bronze, accented with Hermès’ signature pop of blood orange for warmth. 

Willy Chavvaria

Willy Chavarria’s Paris debut, Tarantula, was a bold celebration of his American roots, held at the historic American Church in Paris. Instead of embracing French influences, Chavarria amplified his signature style, blending religious aesthetics with his unique design language. The church was adorned with floral bouquets, candelabras, and plush red seats, creating a dramatic setting. The show opened with a captivating performance, followed by models showcasing Chavarria’s iconic boxy suits, oversized corsages, and 70s-inspired collars. A star-studded cast, including Indya Moore, J Balvin, Kai-Isaiah Jamal, and Paloma Elsesser, walked the aisle. The collection was a powerful statement of identity, culture, and community.

Wooyoungmi

Wooyoungmi’s AW25 collection celebrated modern elegance with a thoughtful touch. Inspired by a Korean philosophy of self-improvement and dignity, the show highlighted how clothing can reflect inner and outer refinement. The collection reimagined classic styles with a contemporary twist. Sharp dinner suits were softened with romantic floral details, while standout outerwear—like trench coats, Crombie coats, and parkas—combined heritage fabrics with bold shearling accents in vibrant colours. The result was a powerful yet refined statement on timeless style and self-expression.
