As the fashion spotlight moves from Milan to Paris, the City of Light prepares to redefine global menswear with Paris Fashion Week Men’s 2025. Over five exciting days, top labels and emerging creatives will showcase collections that not only reflect current trends but also aim to shape future style codes. With major designer debuts, triumphant returns, and groundbreaking exhibitions, this year’s Paris Fashion Week is a vibrant celebration of male fashion, rich with innovation and artistic homage.
I. New Creative Forces Take the Helm
1. Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Debut Sparks Curiosity
Anticipation has been sky-high for Jonathan Anderson’s first collection for Dior Men. The buzz intensified when Anderson gave fans an early taste via Instagram’s “close friends” feature on the official Dior account. Among the teasers were vintage photos of ‘80s art icons Jean-Michel Basquiat and Lee Radziwill, both shot by Andy Warhol and marked with the original 1948 Dior logo. These details hint at Anderson’s vision — one that blends fashion history, high art, and brand heritage. Another standout clue came in the form of a canary-yellow tote inspired by Bram Stoker’s 1897 Dracula, signaling that Anderson may be weaving literary and gothic elements into Dior’s menswear identity.
2. A New Era for Loewe Under Fresh Leadership
While Loewe will not be showing this season, change is already underway. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the creative duo behind Proenza Schouler, have taken over from Anderson following his 11-year tenure. Their highly anticipated debut for the house is slated for October, allowing time to craft a bold new direction for the iconic brand.
3. Dries Van Noten Welcomes Julian Klausner
Julian Klausner will present his inaugural menswear collection for Dries Van Noten on Thursday. His debut women’s collection, filled with opulent historical nods and luxurious details, suggested that Klausner may bring a theatrical yet refined narrative to the label’s menswear. Expect rich textiles, ornate embellishments, and daring reinterpretations of masculine style.
II. Major Returns and Revivals
1. Anthony Vaccarello Anchors the Week for Saint Laurent
Kicking off the official calendar is Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent. After staging off-schedule shows in recent seasons, the brand returns to a prime slot on the Parisian agenda. Vaccarello’s minimalist yet edgy approach is expected to set a high bar for the week’s collections.
2. Craig Green Returns After Three-Year Hiatus
British designer Craig Green is making a powerful comeback to Paris after a three-year absence. Known for his emotionally charged, utilitarian designs, Green’s return is one of the most anticipated moments of the season.
3. Willy Chavarria Reclaims the Spotlight
Following his successful debut earlier this year, American designer Willy Chavarria is back to present his latest menswear collection. His bold exploration of Chicano culture, identity, and masculinity continues to resonate with both critics and fans.
III. Women Designers Bringing a New Perspective to Menswear
Three of fashion’s most forward-thinking female designers are also returning to the Paris runway, offering diverse and inclusive takes on menswear.
- Grace Wales Bonner, celebrating a decade in fashion, returns after a brief hiatus. Her collections are known for their poetic storytelling and nuanced cultural references.
- Marine Serre, famed for her sustainability-driven, futuristic aesthetic, returns to Paris after last showing in January.
- Emily Adams Bode Aujla of Bode is back after a Paris absence since January 2023. Known for reimagining vintage menswear with a modern twist, she continues to evolve her co-ed presentations with vibrant storytelling.
IV. Celebrity Sightings and Showstoppers
As always, the buzz around Paris Fashion Week isn’t limited to the runway. Star-studded front rows and viral moments are expected at Louis Vuitton and Jacquemus.
- Pharrell Williams, now in his sixth season as men’s creative director for Louis Vuitton, will debut another highly anticipated collection that blends streetwear energy with luxury craftsmanship.
- Jacquemus, known for visually spectacular venues and playful designs, will likely close the week with a show that marries innovation and spectacle.
V. Fashion Meets Art in Parisian Museums
Beyond the exclusive runway shows, Paris’ cultural scene is offering must-see exhibitions that honor fashion’s enduring legacy.
1. Rick Owens Retrospective at Palais Galliera
“The Temple of Love,” a new exhibition dedicated to Rick Owens, opens this week at Palais Galliera. This retrospective spans the American designer’s provocative career since launching in 1992. Curated with Owens’ artistic direction, it offers fans a deep dive into his gothic, futuristic aesthetic and rebellious spirit.
2. Paul Poiret’s Legacy at Musée des Arts Décoratifs
Fashion historians and enthusiasts can also enjoy a monograph exhibition on Paul Poiret, the early 20th-century couturier who revolutionized Parisian fashion. Running until January 2026, this showcase honors Poiret’s contributions to modern silhouettes, vibrant color palettes, and the integration of fine art into couture.
3. A Tribute to Demna at Balenciaga Headquarters
Demna, Balenciaga’s polarizing and innovative creative director, is set to leave the brand after a decade. In recognition, parent company Kering is hosting a private retrospective at its Paris headquarters. This farewell tribute highlights Demna’s boundary-pushing designs and cultural impact, especially during his time at Balenciaga.
