Paris Fashion Week men: watch the shows live

Men’s fashion has quickly become one of the most subversive and innovative areas of fashion. Earlier this year, a landmark exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum reminded us that dressing « masculine » has been a fluid and changing idea throughout history, with plenty of room for fun. But those who still view menswear as simple and gameless, need only look to some of the most celebrated young designers working today to see new collections infused with bold colors, skirts, bold crop tops and striking patterns. This month, the prestigious LVMH prize went to British menswear designer Steven Stokey Daley and his label SS Daley for his fluid silhouettes, showy knitwear and penchant for open, skimpy shirts.

Following the menswear collection unveilings during Milan Fashion Week, Paris will host a series of highly anticipated shows by menswear heavyweights such as Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens, Loewe, Thom Browne and Dior Homme, as well as an exciting roster of new talent. Y/Project, helmed by hot Belgian designer Glenn Martens, is set to premiere on Wednesday and other young labels to watch include Grace Wales Bonner, Bluemarble, Bianca Saunders and KidSuper.
