    12 Most Influential Men’s Fashion Designers Of The 21st Century

    Like to think you operate outside the influence of fashion? Think again. From the colour of your shirts to the cut of your pants, all of menswear is influenced by a trickle-down effect that begins in the minds of the industry’s top creatives and winds up in your wardrobe.

    The designers operating at the apex of the fashion world, whether it be in haute couture or streetwear, have a huge influence on the direction of menswear in general. These are the people who effectively decide what we all wear, whether we want to accept the fact or not.

    With that in mind, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the people calling the shots. After all, if someone is surreptitiously picking your outfits for you, you should probably know their name at the very least.

    The 7 Biggest Spring 2024 Trends From the Men’s Fashion Week Runways

    Historically, the excitement of fashion week has been contained to the four “main” womenswear lineups in New York, London, Milan and Paris. But there’s been a shift in recent years, as designers have worked to think beyond any preconceptions about menswear and open up their imagination to allow for innovation — and fashion worth writing home about.

    Menswear itself has evolved, less tethered to traditional gendered ideas of dress and more welcoming of innovation, in terms of silhouettes, materials and trends. Creatives deemed “up-and-comers” have risen up and proven their staying power, becoming the new establishment. And the men’s fashion weeks in London, Milan and Paris have become headline-makers, garnering the same fanfare as their womenswear counterparts.

    The Spring 2024 shows — which just wrapped in Paris — had their fair share of buzzy moments, from Pharrell Williams’ debut at Louis Vuitton to Rhuigi Villaseñor’s first Rhude collection since leaving

    Pharrell fuses entertainment and fashion for confident Louis Vuitton menswear debut

    PARIS — Unveiling a new chapter in its illustrious history, Louis Vuitton made an indelible mark on Paris Fashion Week’s men’s shows as they premiered the debut collection by musician-turned-designer Pharrell Williams.

    Appointed in February to fill the immense shoes left by the death of Virgil Abloh, Williams unveiled his design prowess to the fashion world with a show that exuded confidence.

    The breathtaking venue for this sartorial spectacle was Paris’ iconic Pont Neuf. The historic bridge, typically resplendent with time-worn stone, was transformed into a golden runway — a dramatic stage set against the backdrop of the shimmering Seine and under the starlit Parisian sky.

    The Tuesday night event drew a constellation of stars in their own right. The stellar audience encompassed icons of music, sports and entertainment. Among the guests lining the gilded cobbles were music royalty Beyoncé and Jay-Z, NBA superstar LeBron James, new brand ambassador Zendaya

    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
