The headline act for Day 3 of Paris Men’s Fashion Week SS24 was the iconic luxury French maison, Givenchy. There could be few better locations for creative director Matthew Williams to reveal his new SS24 collection than the historic Hôtel National des Invalides in Paris (you can find a full review of the collection here).
Kicking off day three was Courrèges, which showcased a capsule of both men’s and women’s wear in shades of monochrome. Pale makeup colour hues across all models used in the show added to an overall gothic-meets-Futurism vibe for the collection.
From slicked down wet-effect hair to a finale song of “Singing in the Rain”, it seemed that even divine providence was on the side of Rains’ creative inspiration for SS24, as the torrid weather outside the concrete show space caused water to leak through the ceiling in central Paris. However – the theatrical water-inspired collection came prepared; the collection featured everything from swimming caps to raincoats.
Rick Owens returned with his eponymous label, with a show that brought both his well-known eccentric showmanship and dark colour palette for this week’s runway show (you can find a full review of his eclectic collection here).
Japanese fashion line Homme Plissé by Issey Miyake made a return to Paris Fashion Week on day three. The designer is one of the most-quoted labels in the architectural world (aside perhaps only for Prada), and is best known for his technology-driven clothing designs. For SS24 the design showcased a sleek collection in bold colourways including fusion, burnt orange and slew of pastel shades.
