Paris sees the biggest of luxury brands showcasing their collection.  Louis Vuitton’s supreme show on the Paris catwalk produced a collection that celebrated New York of the 1970s, 1980s and early-1990s, had chic, loose-tailored coats and logo-filled denims with excessive glittering jewellery.

Issey Miyake goes trekking in urban outfits that can weather the extremes of nature. Textured shirts hand-printed in pop patterns and inspired by white birch forests jazzed up the start of the show. Loose sweaters and cardigan jackets conceived in luxurious wool-cut jacquard that reflected the changing hues of autumn leaves were very stylish.

Rick Owens was a surreal mix of gothic styles and abstract play in over-size showcasing great complexity at work behind simple looking silhouettes.The leitmotif of the 41 designs was the horizontal line on coats as panelling or in the grooves of huge, multicolored bubble jacket sections were haphazardly banded around with light fabrics around the neck and shoulders to hold it together. Silhouettes were long and loose.

Fashionistas witnessed zero-degree temperature in Paris for the first day of fall/winter 2017 menswear fashion shows.

Valentino unveiled its couture-infused creations presented by solo designer Pierpaolo Piccioli following the departure of co-designer Maria Grazia Chiuri to Dior.
The dapper gentleman mixed with flashes of punk in slim bow ties came alongside multiple layering, while coats and caps seemed to channel a funky sneaker-wearing. The stylish cut of the coats collection stood out. Exaggerated lengths of sumptuous wool were used to produce long jackets — in monochrome and tartan.

Facetasm

Facetasm has won applauses for its conceptual styles with hints of punk in the past, there colour-rich show was an example with Voluminous layering in contrasting patterns, hoods, headscarves and bubble jackets in contrasts.  A billowing tartan cape came in typical vivid blue with stylish generous lengths of fabric at the front.

Christopher Lamaire is a master of fusing minimalism and the classic. The on-trend elements were oversize shirt pockets, belts with multiple hoops, big black leather boots and a silver applique that hung from the waist.

Colours were used sparingly with black fusing into terracotta, olive and a muted flash of lapis lazuli. The coats were cut in rich, oversize proportions and exuded softnes, floppy voluminous lapels and warm velvety knee-length coats.

Milan Fashion week ended with Giorgio Armani stellar showcase on the last day along with previews by Asian designers supported by National Italian Fashion Chamber.

There have been lots of shaggy fur, furry footwear, thick knits, big gloves, droopy caps, face-framing neck-warmers with a focus on soft tailoring and comfortable looks at the Milan runway this season. Blazers tended to be long, and paired with loose-fitting trousers, overcoats had fur collars. Shoes were with big soles and rubberized studs or built-in socks.

Designers also opted for a rough look with half-finished accents, colours were deeper in urban shades of gray and black, with flashes of white, and colour blocks.
Giorgio Armani described the collection as “evolving codes to define an idea of elegance tuned-in to the present, but rich with heritage”. The collection shown at the brand’s HQ were long military-style greatcoats, velvet jackets, oversized shaggy shearling coats, leather macs, bombers and enormous padded jackets.
Models also wore gloves and some wore a garments referred to as “sleeve-scarves” an item that has jumper sleeves combined with a scarf wrapped around the neck.
