The view of designer Anthony Vaccarello for the 1970s for the Saint Laurent men’s collections and the musical, eclectic celebration of Louis Vuitton under the always restless direction of Pharrell Williams shaped the first day of the Paris men’s fashion week.

“For the summer of 2026, Anthony Vaccarello conjures up a moment of pausing (…), in which fleeing becomes elegance and desire,” said the press release as a collection.

With a deliberate tone, the fret trousers, which are tight -fitting on the waist, were presented, from which a shirt with wide shoulders, two bland pockets and one always hidden inside the shirt emerged.

Roll collle, half-transparent, sometimes combined with a scarf, and the traditional trench coat parka, one of the characteristic pieces of clothing by Yves Saint Laurent. The colors, mostly gentle: apple green, various purple tones that are combined between the blouse, pants and belts, as well as sky blue.

Men with shorts that can be combined casually with a two -row blazer, always with wide shoulders, appear. “The silhouettes are shaped, not exaggerated,” said Vaccarello in his declaration of intent.

A Burgundy-colored, half-open zipper rain coat should also be emphasized. The show took place in the Paris trading exchange, which was converted into a center for the collection of contemporary art by the billionaire François Pinault.

The models strolled around a water installation by the Frenchman Céleste Boursier-Mougeot, which consists of a huge, 18-meter pelvis with water and blue background, in which porcelain bowls swim and push together.

The designer and musician Pharrell Williams invited his fans and friends to a big party at the gates of the Center Georges Pompidou, which is closed due to construction work. Williams do not hide the fact that the fashion shows of the well -known French brand for men’s fashion are a pretext for his curiosity and his urge to explore.

There is no clear line, but the one to offer the whole range of options to dress the fan of the monogram brand.

Cotton, synthetic or cord suits with impact trousers, multi-colored shirts, an explosion of colors and a comparison of accessories, from thick necklaces to hats, wrestling and leather bags in the form of small spaceships.

In front of celebrities such as Beyoncé, her husband Jay Z, Bradley Cooper or Argentinian chef Mauro Colageco, Williams switched between shorts and parkas, sweatshirts and moccasins with long socks.

There are metallized raincoats and well -lined anoraks if the customer wants to get lost in cold realms. Sandals with thick soles, cargo pants in cream -colored and leather jackets for those who want to go on safari.

As on earlier occasions, Williams used a gospel choir and a large orchestra for the fashion show, with a wide musical pallet from classical to Japanese hip-hop.
