Paris’ men’s collections for Fall Winter 2016 made a power statement on Day 3 with Givenchy, Berluti, Cerruti,Junya Watanabe Man, Maison Margiela and others. Everyday garments were being enhanced via better textiles and cuts to the delight of buyers and writers.
The suit is back, if Milan is all about silhouettes, Paris seems to controls fit. With 1980’s vibe giving younger customers something new and fresh (though really retro)with a slight departure from more traditional suits .Fur trims and linings was a universal feature with a touch of fur to almost anything remotely outerwear.
What is really turning into a global trend is feminized menswear. While Gucci hit this trend last week at Milan, Loewe follows here in Paris. Another classic outerwear garment experiencing a sartorial rejuvenation is the woolen coat, in 3/4 length and full-length versions while 2/3 length is making waves for everyday. From color-blocking to knits to intarsia, every material and technique is ripe for experimentation.
