Rund's Halloween Makeup TutorialOct.27.2020
All the fashion week veterans always put their attention on the women’s season as you get to see models, top editors, celebrities and influencers strutting down the streets of Paris, Milan, London, and New York fully decked out and posing for the photographer and street style snappers waiting for them at every corner.
But in recent years with designers like Virgil Abloh, Kim Jones, Demna Gvasalia, Jacquemus that have each gathered cult followings, Men’s fashion week has been back on everyone’s radar and especially women’s titles.
With the rise of elevated cool edgy designs from top men brands and a more androgyne approach, more and more women are approaching the men’s corners and buying clothes and accessories and their runway shows are gaining ultimate tractions on every media out there.
The first show on our list for this year’s Men’s Fashion Week is Virgil Abloh’s Louis Vuitton SS20 show that happened on place Dauphine in Paris, a routine stroll across Pont Neuf from the Louis Vuitton studios, the postcard scenery of Paris sets the frame for the show.
The mundanity of every café life walks across the Seine, crepe stands, and tree-lined square ambiance harmonizes with the typical idea of boyhood bliss; a bouncy castle, ice cream, balloons, and kite-flying.
The scenery of the show put the pieces in perspective and highlighted the man versus boy imagery that Virgil was portraying.
Our favorite looks are had floral patterns infused on them and relayed a message of wonders of nature thanks to a selection of looks focused on floral details both real and embroidered.
Another great look is the multi-colored and multi-layered translucent tulle 3 pieces that can definitely be unisex.
Next is Kim Jones from Dior who also played big time on the setting and even collaborated for the set design with the artist Daniel Arsham whose work examines the archaeology of the present.
Kim played on the notion of the relic, the idea of constant evolution, and the investigation and creation of history that sits behind every fashion house.
The spirit of the collection was also an interplay between the past, present, and future with a focus on soft elongated silhouettes in a soft palette and a dash of tie-dye with a wraparound scarf, or with the usage of translucent material in vivid blue and clear whites in the shape of a formal blouse.

Last but most epic was Simon Porte Jacquemus who transported the fashion world to the lavender fields of Provence. The show marked the 10th anniversary of his label with menswear and womenswear silhouettes presented side by side for the first time.
Everyone got to spend the day under the sun as the show was labeled “Coup de Soleil” around real lavenders and watching the models walk down a bright purple carpet. Magic!

Some of the top looks we loved involved pastel shades of orange, pink, yellow and green in high summer garments, perfect for a holiday in the south of France; a region that highly inspires the designer.
We love this relaxed look of shorts and polo with a refined twist thanks to the subtle tie-dye effect or the grungier type with the oversized orange denim jacket on top of the highly printed shirt.
