5 moments you (might) have missed at Paris Fashion Week yesterday

Between innovations, tributes and oddities of all kinds

5 moments you (might) have missed at Paris Fashion Week yesterday Between innovations, tributes and oddities of all kinds

As Louis Vuitton kicked off the Paris Men's Fashion Week, the second day of this exciting event did not disappoint. While the program already promised major highlights, including Willy Chavarria's debut on the Parisian fashion scene and Jacquemus' much-anticipated return to the official calendar, the first collections unveiled delivered on the promise of a strong season for French fashion. From runway shows to presentations, here's a brief recap of the shows that captured our attention yesterday, whether they impressed us or simply piqued our curiosity. 

3. Paradis

Yesterday, Emeric Tchatchoua, artistic director of 3.Paradis, invited us to relax and slow down with his FW25 collection titled Quiet Storm. Featuring long white fur coats, snow-covered jackets, and cozy sweaters, 3.Paradis brought a touch of Montreal's icy winters to the Parisian fashion stage. Inspired by Tchatchoua's childhood memories and the harsh Canadian winters of his upbringing, the collection captures the essence of a crystallized moment and a nostalgic, ironically warm atmosphere. The contrast between the icy rigidity of the outdoors and the comforting warmth of interiors is reflected in the use of precious and comforting materials. Oversized blankets and soft, plush fabrics give the collection a nostalgic vibe, evoking a refuge against winter. The soothing tones of gray, beige, and pale blue create a serene atmosphere, in a collection enriched by various artistic collaborations.

 

Lemaire 

Lemaire subtly expands its fashion repertoire for next winter with bold and confident pieces. "There is the idea of a certain strength, almost raw, a dynamism. We tried to find a balance between strong and utilitarian pieces and a sense of sensuality and intimacy. It’s a new tailoring designed for daily life,” explain Christophe Lemaire and his partner, Sarah-Linh Tran, who is expecting a baby in March. The theme of maternity is indeed present in the collection, with wide skirts and asymmetrical coats designed for expectant mothers. Exhilarating simplicity is revealed through concrete garments, with meticulous construction and refined details. Suits with perfectly tailored two-button jackets are paired with sports shoes and a basic T-shirt, while the trench coat, leather jacket, parka, or cozy coat are worn with a simple tank top. The collection gradually builds with "solid" pieces, such as stunning leather jackets and blousons, worn over shirts or sweaters, before a summery touch emerges with light dresses, as well as silk tops and shorts.

 

Louis Gabriel Nouchi

Since his first show in 2018, Louis Gabriel Nouchi has quickly established himself as one of the most promising designers on the fashion scene, a recognition crowned with an ANDAM award. His world is built on a bold approach to gender-fluid tailoring and a minimalist palette, often drawing inspiration from major literary works. From bodysuits to endless trenches, oversized hoods, black, gray, khaki, and materials ranging from leather to wool to velvet, the collection presented yesterday by LGN was complete, logical, and simply stunning. Each of the 83 looks, while unique, followed a cohesive thread, creating an indelible connection between the previous and the next, reflecting the designer's penchant for imbuing garments with a strong sense of narrative

 

Walter Van Beirendonck

Earlier in the day, Walter Van Beirendonck, one of the Antwerp Six, delivered a memorable show, bringing his tribe of aliens to the Parisian fashion stage. Accompanied by an intergalactic soundtrack, the first models appeared in checked suits in shades of brown paired with colorful shirts. Then came the all-black looks, followed by a fluorescent alien-inspired jumpsuit and colorful ensembles with endless tentacles. While the collection may not suit everyone's taste and could be deemed over-the-top by some, one thing is certain: it did not go unnoticed.


AMI Paris

We end on a high note with AMI Paris, the epitome of Parisian chic. In a dimly lit, abandoned building from the 1910s in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, Alexandre Mattiussi unveiled his FW25 collection yesterday to the soft melodies of a saxophone and piano. Celebrating effortless elegance and elevating everyday wear, the brand envisioned enveloping and comfortable silhouettes for this season. Oversized coats and fluid trousers were the centerpiece of a collection where comfort meets style. The white shirt, emblematic of the brand, was reimagined with generous volumes and bold collar designs. Tailoring, revisited in soft tones and relaxed cuts, offered a modern alternative to classic ensembles. New luxurious materials, such as shearling and satin, were combined with more traditional fabrics, elevated by timeless patterns.
