A day in the life of Rudolf Nureyev, and a great deal of the dancer’s wardrobe, was the inspiration for the latest Dior menswear collection by Kim Jones.

Alexandre Mattiussi's label unveiled a successful collection on Thursday evening, with tailored pieces taking centre stage, highlighting the Parisian allure when the City of Light emerges from its early-morning slumber.

Two exemplary designers and independent thinkers staged consecutive menswear runway shows Thursday evening in Paris, in powerful reminders of how this is turning out to be a vintage season for men’s fashion. 

Homme Plissé from Issey Miyake collaborated with the great French design master Ronan Bouroullec this season and the result was an unexpected and jubilant collection.

Louis Gabriel Nouchi’s austere elegance, Walter Van Beirendonck’s exuberance, Bluemarble’s chic street style: menswear showed plenty of panache on the Parisian runways on Wednesday, on the fashion week’s second day.
