After the Saint Laurent and Moschino parades in the United States, the men’s fashion season, which has already covered British and Italian soil, opens space for one of the most anticipated weeks of the month: Paris, which starts on Tuesday (19.06) and follows until next Sunday (24.06).
The frisson around this station is remarkable and motifs are not lacking. This time, the season is marked by the debut of new creative directors who are part of the recent “dance of the chairs” of powerful brands. In addition to the Off-White on Wednesday (20), Virgil Abloh also signs the men’s Louis Vuitton – a vacancy previously occupied by Kim Jones for seven years, who in turn holds the position of Belgian Kris Van Assche in Dior Homme and signs his debut parade at the brand next Saturday.
Only these two parades do enough. That’s not enough, Raf Simons is back on parisian soil after three NYFW parade seasons.
In time, Berluti is absent from the calendar and returns in the next semester, in January 2019, for the début of Van Assche in the position of creative director, after leaving Haider Ackermann.
