The
world's biggest fashion label, known for its checked damier
patterns and monogrammed trunks, drew on a travel theme for the
spring summer 2025 men's collection, with a towering globe
sculpture, rows of international flags and -- in the distance --
the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop.
Models strode down the grass catwalk in crisply-tailored suits,
slick bomber jackets and fur coats, with rhinestone-encrusted
sunglasses and chunky, airplane-wing brooches, while an
orchestra and choir performed music produced by Williams.
The LVMH-owned label drew an audience of 1,500, as well as
screaming crowds on the street outside, angling to catch
arrivals of celebrity guests, who included NBA basketball player
Victor Wembanyama, actor Michael Fassbender and K-pop star
Jackson Wang.
The Paris men's fashion shows, which will be followed by Haute
Couture week, come as France gears up for the summer Olympics,
as well as two rounds of elections in the coming weeks, which
have thrown the country into political disarray.
Globally, high end labels face waning appetite for fashion and
accessories, with the key Chinese market a particular source of
concern.
