Paris Men’s Fashion Week SS19 Moodboard
The inspirations directly from the catwalks
June 25th, 2018
Virgil Abloh and Kanye West holding each other in a moving embrace.
This is the image that recently concluded LV's Paris Fashion Week show that remains etched in the mind: a liberating embrace between two friends who have supported each other's talent and who celebrates their umpteenth success.
Becoming a creative director of an iconic and prestigious brand like Louis Vuitton is an important milestone, and Abloh's debut at the fashion house was so full of expectations that the hype around the show was set to stellar levels. The designer of Off-White had chosen to bring into the catwalk a multicultural rainbow defined by a real new fashion vocabulary and to leave the rebellious side, embodied by Bart Simpson, James Dean and Dondi White, to the brand founded in 2012.
The other debut that intrigued was that of Kim Jones from Dior. The talented English man has reworked the tradition of Monsieur Christian, showing its creations with delicate pastel shades, presented under the "protection" of a giant Kaws puppet.
Not only are the big names in fashion who brought their male proposals for the SS19 to Paris there. From Dries van Noten with his tribute to the colorful works of Vernon Panton to Alexander McQueen with a collection poised between Francis Bacon and black and white photos by John Deakin, from punks by Raf Simons to lysergic gnomes by Thom Browne, the week dedicated to French style is confirmed as the most interesting and the one that's truly able to bring together the fashion's haute.
If you have doubts, take a look below for the inspirations seen on the catwalk.
