Fashion Week: Paris Menswear Week 2023 And Redefining Fashion In Spring And Summer

Paris men's wear week in spring and summer 2023 is held from June 21 to 26. This season's men's week includes old fashion houses such as Dior, Givenchy and herm è s, as well as a new generation of talents who redefine fashion. Through careful design, designers from all walks of life present a feast of spring and summer for the audience, and bring them a new conception of clothing, design and the world.

A brief shower of rain on the cobbled path did not affect the show by V é ronique nichanian, herm è s men's art director. The spring / summer 2023 collection begins with the setting sun on a vivid cashmere sweater, and nichanian points out that she wants to evoke "a bright, vibrant summer, and the joy of being together.". Such a starting point makes the series full of relaxed atmosphere. In the colors, the series selects the colors representing lemonade, melon, clove, bubble gum and lake, each of which expresses the designer's unique vision of color. Nichanian and her team develop all fabrics themselves to create a unique seasonal tone. Simple hooded parkas and jackets, technical satin or suede calfskin, lightweight shirt jackets, pleated linen vests and cotton shirts add to the summer mood. There's also a new version of the "Haut à courroies" bag with twisted Plaid reminiscent of pool tiles seen in the water.

In the spring / summer 2023 collection, Kim Jones pays tribute to brand founder Christine Dior, inspired by Christian Dior's Granville beach house in Normandy. Perhaps the most famous villa is the rose garden, which is the eternal source of inspiration for Mr. Dior's life. In a huge white box in Val de gr â CE, Paris, Jones built a house surrounded by gardens - grass and colorful wildflowers, all planted for the occasion (the background looks like a distant ocean). On the other side of the space is another house, reminiscent of Charleston in West Sussex, the perennial inspiration of Jones himself. In addition to being an artist, Duncan grant is also an avid gardener, whose work inspired a series of sweaters in the collection. "A fascinating journey through time and space", these imaginative descriptions illustrate the garden centered concept: the apron is remodeled into an asymmetrical robe, gardening gloves embroidered with delicate flowers, and a cage shaped sun hat, reminiscent of Dior's cannage pattern. But the most impressive is a series of tailoring based on Dior's "bar" jacket; Each suit jacket is made of nearly transparent silk transparent hard yarn, which shows the complicated process behind it like a ghost, and reconstructs the incomparable history of the brand.

Except for spring and summer, surrounded by light and garden, Givenchy brings us to the cool of the shallow pool. In the middle of the historic military academy runway, Givenchy erected a huge white box, emitting cool fog; Around it, a pool of shallow water reflects the gray of the sky, setting the stage for Givenchy's creative director Matthew m Williams' first men's show. This scene design complements brands such as Givenchy, where a collection is displayed, which includes exploring contemporary men's wear through the exquisite craftsmanship of the brand's studio. Williams points out that he is looking for clothes in the style of his native country, as well as musicians and creative people around him to make sportswear with Givenchy logo full of charm and elegance. For example, a crystallized western belt, or a leather jacket embroidered with the brand name and letter combination. The most fashionable, however, are a range of wide shouldered coats and custom-made combat gowns, which appear at the end of the show, demonstrating what can be achieved when Givenchy's studio is fully functional.

Reconstructing the world  

At the spring / summer 2023 show, Jonathan Anderson, the creative director of Loewe, arranged for models to cross the horizon, descend along a huge white ramp into view, and refine silhouettes by backlighting. The "HD" silhouette is a signature silhouette created by designers for the latest collection: a wide and tight fluffy leather shirt and cocoon jacket are watered down with the fitted Loewe brand tights and shrunk shirts and underwear. Another core of the series is the exploration of nature and technology - real grass grows out of jackets and shoes, while at the other end of the spectrum, video clips of bees, tropical fish and daffodils appear on the screen strapped to the model's chest, a manifestation of the designer's belief that we spend too much time on mobile phone screens. "Anderson thinks that we are able to find a solution to this phenomenon, not through a series of strange things that happen to us," Anderson said

Kawabata, on the other hand, lets us immerse ourselves in the world she created with a sense of story. The theme music of many evil classic horror films provides music for Kawabata's latest spring and summer 2023 series, which makes viewers feel as if they are in it. Kawabata calls the series "another kind of punk" and cites medieval court clowns as an inspiration. "They are usually close advisers to the king... From different worlds, they have unique ways of thinking, and they have the right to speak freely and provide honest opinions and suggestions. I think these clowns may have punk spirit." As a result, models walk on the catwalk with strange, twisted masks, each of which is antique, some more than 100 years old, while others have a clown like feel, such as the contrast check of yellow and red round toe shoes. In addition, the series demonstrates her mastery of silhouette and tailoring: a jacket may have a second pair of sleeves, and a work coat unfolds towards a stiff lampshade hem, bringing a totally different presentation from Western designers.

Unlike Kawabata Kawabata, dries van noten 2023 spring and summer men's wear series begins with "unusual elegance". These words can also describe the whole work of the Belgian designer. In his clothes, the delicate appearance often conceals the more unexpected inspiration. This season, van noten displayed the collection on the concrete roof of a multi-storey parking lot, with the sun setting in the distance, and the design focused on the long-standing male subculture, especially zazous. A group of revelers who love jazz bring a kind of debauchery and deep quality to the clothing, such as wide leg Pinstripe cutting, unbuttoned silk shirt, suspender vest; With the tough and DIY spirit of buffalo movement in London in 1980s, such as Python printed jeans boots and cross-country motorcycle jacket. In the upbeat soundtrack, this combination seems to refine the magic of van Norton's heart - that "extraordinary elegance" - and bring a fashion superstar back to the track of Paris fashion week.

And Rick Owens brought a new "order and discipline.". The latest series began with a recent trip to Egypt, where the designer said, "I find great comfort in the remoteness and scale of its history." "In the face of this eternity, my personal worries and discomfort are negligible." He named it "Edfu" and took it from an Egyptian temple, which is presented in a dramatic way in accordance with inspiration. There is a crane in the central pool of the ornate palace. As the show goes on, a group of technicians hold a huge ball, ignites, rises, burns and falls into the water from above (the process is repeated three times). "The blazing sun streaked across the sky, falling to the ground again and again... Meaningless destruction from the beginning." Said the designer. The cut-out was defined as the "Apocalypse" and "skinny" waistband was defined in nylon for a tight cut and tight waistband.
