Paris Men’s Fashion Week 2025 Recap

Men’s Fashion Week just wrapped up in Paris. While I loved my trip to Taiwan and Japan, a small part of me wishes I would’ve flown directly to France for the last seven days (though I don’t think my body or my bank account would’ve taken lightly to that). In any event, the world had the chance to witness some of the coolest pieces to premiere so far in 2025. Below are some snapshots of five fashion houses and what they were able to put together. Some of the names you’ll easily recognize but others might be new to you. In case you want to see their full runway shows, I’ve linked their respective YouTube videos in the title of each section.

Mike Amiri rarely has misses in his work, and this year was no different. He did a fantastic job with the color and texture combinations in every single look. The throwback 70’s theme was apparent and done tastefully without the feeling of forced nostalgia. In the most recent capsule, there are also quite a few pieces that are straight out of a pool hall scene in a throwback movie that seamlessly tie back to the show. Great effort all around.

I’ve always thought of Pharrell Williams as one of the most creative people of our generation. This year’s show was partially an ode to his friendship with Nigo, the infamous Japanese designer behind brands like Bape, Kenzo, and Human Made. Interestingly enough, I’ve heard a few critiques saying there wasn’t enough innovative changes season to season, but I see nothing wrong with what was displayed last week. Good looking outfits that can be mixed and matched several times over.

While he isn’t the founder, Nigo serves as the creative director for Kenzo, which is why we should all expect them to come correct every fashion week (and the weeks in between). Ironically enough, he decided to partner with Futura, a NYC based graffiti artist, for the pieces in this line. The celebration of some of the coolest friendships and collaborations gave us something to smile about. Craftsmanship and precision tailoring were really strong throughout all the looks.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Willy Chavarria had his debut in Paris Fashion Week and he did NOT disappoint. There have been very few Latino fashion designers who have been able to make it to arguably one of the most prestigious stages in fashion and I’m extremely proud of him. Women, non-binary models, and guys in their 40s and 50s were also included in this show. With his own queer and biracial identities, he deeply understands that his clothes and the culture he represents cover such a wide array of people. And the color palate? Chef’s Kiss. Very excited to do a deep dive on Willy and his career so be on the lookout for that soon.

(At the time of publishing this, the Bluemarble runway show wasn’t available on YouTube.) Anthony Alvarez was another Latino represented at this year’s fashion week. Bluemarble is his second foray into the industry and the brand has been making huge waves in Paris since its 2019 inception. He and his team blend skating and surfing culture (a growing segment of consumers) into workwear, sportswear, tailored fitting, and everything in between. Though it has positioned itself as a luxury clothing company carrying a few pieces that are at an elevated price point, Bluemarble is by far one of the most attainable brands in this list.
