    Pharrell Williams’ First Menswear Collection For Louis Vuitton Takes Paris Fashion Week By Storm

    The forbiddingly chic territory at the intersection of fashion and music is a grand, if fraught one, and at the moment no one is traversing this terrain with more brio than the legendary Pharrell Williams, 13-time Grammy winner, two-time Academy Award nominee, and the writer-performer-producer of the global hit “Happy,” among a slew of other genre-bending, chart-busting pop-soul-funk-dance-electronica-hip-hop titles. On June 20, he took the Pont Neuf, and the Paris Spring-Summer ’24 men’s shows by storm.

    As a renowned producer he is by nature a collaborator and less the lone wolf, so he’s collaborated with European and Asian fashion houses for years on everything from scents (Nigo) and jewelry (Louis Vuitton) to eyewear (Louis Vuitton, Moncler). As well, he’s an

    Saucony

    Saucony feted the “House of Originals” launch in Paris with an artist doodling in the space, and guests enjoying canapés and a DJ set by Jordan Page, creative director of Colour Plus Companie.

    Page used the occasion to reveal his second collaboration with the brand. The new Grid Shadow 2 styles are influenced by The Trekker, a vintage Saucony hiking boot style from the ’90s.

    “I wanted to tap into my love of nature and hiking. The original shoe is a performance runner, and I wanted to reconceptualize it as a trail running shoe,” Page said at the event, adding that the three colorways are inspired by

    Five Menswear Insiders on Fashion Week ’Fits and “Street Style Dressing”

    How do you generally approach putting together an outfit, and does that change at all during fashion week?

    For me it’s important to be as authentic as possible, which is why my style, whilst constantly evolving, has fundamentally remained unchanged for the best part of a decade. The foundations of my own personal style lay within three distinct groups: cut, color, and texture. I gravitate towards one core color, or tonal variants thereof, whilst simultaneously mixing in subtle textural elements to add richness and depth.

    The cut should first and foremost be complementary to my body shape, and secondly it should be dynamic in design terms. I tend to lean toward either sharp structured garments or louche voluminous ones. At times I interchange the two to play with proportion.

    Would you say your style during fashion week is reflective of your everyday style, or do you tend to experiment more

    Jordyn Woods takes theGrio to Paris Men’s Fashion Week

    In an exclusive interview with theGrio, Jordyn Woods reflects on Paris Men’s Fashion Week, her personal style and gender fluidity in fashion.

    This week, Paris hosted its 2023 Men’s Fashion Week, and this year was decidedly different. While menswear typically doesn’t get as much love and attention as women’s fashion, from the week’s star-studded guest lists to the innovative designs on the runway, the eyes of fashion lovers everywhere were trained on the streets of Paris.

    For the uninitiated, during fashion week, luxury fashion brands take over the city, hosting a myriad of shows displaying their latest collections. “I love Men’s Fashion Week,” said model, influencer, and newly minted fashion CEO Jordyn Woods in an exclusive interview with theGrio. “Fashion is fashion; it doesn’t matter what gender you may be.

    Billy Porter Asserts His “Daring” Oscars Tuxedo-Dress Changed Men’s Fashion

    Billy Porter’s status as a style icon is unquestionable, boldly executing gender-fluid looks that keep his fashion-forward peers anticipating his every red carpet appearance. For the POSE alum, however, it was the tuxedo-dress he wore to the 2019 Oscars that made the largest impact on trends within men’s fashion.

    “What the world thinks is the most memorable is the Oscar dress, the tuxedo Oscar dress that changed the world,” he told Page Six during the unveiling of his Madame Tussauds’ wax figure in New York City Tuesday (June 20).

    “That’s the most significant one because of the impact it’s had on the entire world. Fashion has changed since then. Men feel freer since then and I love being a part of that.”

    3.Paradis Will Stage Its First Runway Show During Paris Fashion Week Men’s

    10 years into business, French-Canadian contemporary ready-to-wear label 3.Paradis will stage its first-ever runway show during Paris Fashion Week Men’s later this month, according to paradis-emeric-tchatchoua-first-ever-runway-show-paris-mens-week-1235680155/”WWD.

    The brand, led by creative director Emeric Tchatchoua, will take over Square des Périchaux, a public garden in Paris’ 15th arrondissement, on June 23. There, the designer will present a Spring 2024 collection, titled “Journey of Dreams,” built on celebrating “the process of living our dreams,” per the outlet.

    Born in 1988, Tchatchoua grew up in the aforementioned working-class neighborhood, so it was “deeply important” for him to showcase his upcoming dream-inspired line in the same location that he first began to envision his life as a designer. While growing up in Paris in the early 2000s, he became infatuated with Japanese fashion through online research. That, coupled with his French roots, his love for pop art

    The Best Men’s Clothing Subscription Boxes of 2023 to Upgrade Your Wardrobe

    Google “men’s clothing subscription boxes” and you’ll find no shortage of options. Style subscriptions like the now defunct Trunk Club helped make these box delivery systems a thing a decade ago, and there are now roughly as many mail-order menswear services as there are podcasts for them to advertise on. All of them offer roughly the same deal: you fill out an uncomfortably probing style quiz about your lifestyle and body shape and spending habits; a personal stylist or algorithm or some combination of the two magically conjures up your “style profile”; and, finally, you’re only charged for the items you decide to keep. Easy-peasy, right?

    Here’s the thing: if you’re even a semi-regular reader of this site—if you come to us to brush up on hot sneaker drops, or the waviest new labels to check out, or whatever’s popping off in Paris right now—these men’s clothing subscription boxes

    Pitti Uomo Explained: Fashion’s Biggest Menswear Tradeshow

    Although no longer quite the force to be reckoned with that it was in the 2010s, Pitti Uomo remains a lynchpin of the European fashion calendar — a twice-yearly opportunity for menswear’s global elite to conveniently congregate in one place and do all of their buying, wholesaling, networking, and yes… take selfies astride the infamous Pitti Peacock wall.

    A seminal cultural event for many millennials whose interest in classic men’s style was piqued during the heyday of Tumblr — including yours truly — over the years Pitti has given us a trove of designers, entrepreneurs, and street style photographers who’ve all gone on to achieve success in fashion’s broad-based ecosystem (Patrick Johnson being one such prominently Aussie example).

    To better explain the show’s significance, we offer an extended answer to the query, ‘What even is Pitti Uomo?’ below — beginning with the show’s history, its state in 2023, and on

    • Derek Guy is a men’s fashion blogger with over 299,000 followers on Twitter.

    • His tirade against low-rise pants went viral on the app with over 2.5 million views.

    • He encouraged men to ditch the outdated style and embrace the high waist.

    A men’s fashion expert has called out the pitfalls of low-rise pants in a lengthy Twitter thread, calling on viewers to embrace a high-waist style instead.

    On June 6, menswear writer Derek Guy posted a tweet that began in capital letters, imploring viewers to consider high-rise trousers, a lower garment that sits above the hips on the waistline.

    In the post, which received over 2.5 million views and 12,100 likes, Guy, who’s just shy of 300,000 followers, wrote that he typically addresses “menswear-obsessed guys” so it hadn’t occurred to
