Paris Fashion Week

Sébastien Meunier wore his heart on his sleeve with his collection for Ann Demeulemeester, which made ample use of visual imagery.

The Nineties skateboard culture A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou referenced in relation to the label’s spring collection for men was less than obvious, but what the collection did offer was a charming proposition of relaxed shapes and washed-out colors that verged on dusty pastels, giving them masculine appeal.

Stephanie Hahn understands a good suit. Handmade in Germany, the pieces she puts out ooze chic, but remain playful, signaling the youthful character that is needed to stay relevant and fresh amid more established brands.

Jonathan Anderson, whose range as a designer runs from rustic to futuristic, was in full-on organic mode creating Loewe’s spring men’s collection.

Following a stint as Pitti Uomo’s guest designer, Juun.J was back in Paris with a dynamic collection that captured the cool street kids’ hunger for off-kilter silhouettes and an underground feeling.

Plain surfaces are overrated, Junya Watanabe seemed to say with his spring men’s collection, shown in a concrete parking garage plastered with colorful graffiti and worn by a cast of heavily tattooed models, to which the designer added more ink on limbs, faces and necks.
