Paris Fashion Week: Menswear Spring/Summer 2025

Paris Fashion Week remains one of the most prestigious and influential events on the global fashion calendar, captivating the attention of the industry and fashion enthusiasts alike.

This year, the Paris Men's Fashion Week once again highlighted the latest trends and innovations from both established designers and emerging talents. From avant-garde to refined classicism, this event embodies the dynamic and diverse spirit of contemporary men's fashion. By unveiling their collections, designers not only set the tone for upcoming seasons but also reflect broader cultural and societal shifts. Here, we focus on the shows we had the privilege of attending, offering in-depth commentary based on our direct experience.

Valette Studio

The Hôtel Normandy provided an intimate setting for Valette Studio's show, which featured a collection of 29 models showcasing the brand's focus on tailoring and craftsmanship. Titled "Summer Tailleur," the collection was marked by an apparent simplicity that concealed complex details. Poplin was the dominant fabric, while silver lamé added pop and punk accents to the couture silhouettes. For the spring-summer 2025 collection, Pierre-François Valette aimed to imbue the brand with sensuality and fluidity, notably through tied jackets, symbols of the inventiveness and modularity characteristic of Valette Studio.

Walter Van Beirendonck

Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendonck once again stood out with his impactful social commentary. His collection "I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE..." reflects the current sociopolitical climate, illustrating our increasingly senseless behavior in a perpetually dramatic world. Presented in the gardens of the Faculty of Pharmacy, this collection featured clowns representing our egocentric behaviors and joyful and sad figures to overcome our circus-like reality. The collaboration with G-Star RAW introduced seamless garments, while the Alcantara puzzle pieces distorted silhouettes, playing with proportions. The bright colors and exaggerated forms brought a touch of optimism in a context of future fears and political uncertainty.

Arturo Obegero

At the Silencio des Prés, Arturo Obegero presented "El Amor Brujo," a collection of 28 looks celebrating Spanish folklore and paying homage to creative heroes such as Cristobal Balenciaga, Ruvén Afanador, and Antonio Gades. Inspired by Manuel de Falla and Carlos Saura, this collection highlighted Obegero's fascination with the ceremonial aspect of dressing and his brutally romantic vision of men's fashion. Lace and sequins covered iconic silhouettes, emphasizing the blend of tradition and modernity. A fashion film accompanied the show, shot on iPhone, directed on iPad, and edited on Mac. Created in collaboration with Apple, the digital presentation of this collection marked a turning point in the investment of technology in emerging fashion.

C.R.E.O.L.E.

Vincent Frédéric-Colombo captivated with "MAGMA 76," a collection inspired by the eruption of La Soufrière in 1976. His creations conveyed the resilience needed to face natural disasters and the current political climate. Presented in the Jardin de Traverses, the collection reinterpreted wardrobe essentials with the brand's signature sexy aesthetic and bold prints, aiming to provide a sense of relief and amusement. This inclusive and bold approach to men's fashion sought to divert attention from ongoing traumas.

Ziggy Chen

Chinese designer Ziggy Chen unveiled "GNARTRICATE," a collection of 33 looks intertwining contrasts. Inspired by plant roots symbolizing nourishment and stability, Chen used light and shadow play to influence her color and material choices. Defined by beauty and decadence, chaos and rigor, elegance and comfort, this collection aimed to offer a natural and sinuous experience, highlighting the power of styling as a tool of expression.
This edition of Paris Men's Fashion Week SS25 once again proved its ability to surprise and inspire, confirming its central role in the fashion world.
