One of the most anticipated moments was the Louis Vuitton fashion show led by Pharrell Williams as creative director of menswear. His show mixed pop exuberance with the classic elegance of the maison, obtaining unanimous applause and appreciation.
In contrast, the week also saw an emotional farewell: Dries Van Noten presented his latest collection, marking the end of an era. The Belgian designer has announced his retirement, leaving a void in the fashion world that will be difficult to fill.
Among the big names present, Rick Owens, Dior, Loewe and Hermès confirmed their leading position in the sector. Rick Owens amazed with a dark and avant-garde collection, while Dior focused on a modern reinterpretation of the classic men's suit. Loewe and Hermès offered elegant and sophisticated collections, perfect for the contemporary man.
Asian representation was strong and influential. Brands such as Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garçons and Juun J brought their unique and innovative vision to the catwalk, mixing tradition and modernity with extraordinary results.
Despite the general success, some absences were strongly felt. Balmain postponed its show to September due to internal changes, while Givenchy, still looking for a new creative director, did not show. Valentino also chose not to participate, but surprised the public with a series of shots of the new collection designed by Alessandro Michele.
The Undercover show marked a triumphant return, with a collection that fused streetwear elements with couture details. Korean brand Juun J also shined, with a futuristic line that caught the attention of onlookers.
Paris Fashion Week Men's SS25 demonstrated once again why Paris is considered the fashion capital of the world. Between exciting debuts, emotional farewells and talent confirmations, fashion week offered a fascinating glimpse into the future of menswear. All that remains is to wait impatiently for the next edition to see how the trends presented will evolve.
With this, Paris Fashion Week Men's SS25 bids farewell, leaving behind a rich heritage of inspirations and new trends that will mark the fashion of the coming months.
