Paris-ALSHARQIYA June 24: The activities of the Paris Men's Fashion Week are still continuing to present new international designers for the spring and summer fashion of 2024. Among the shows that constituted prominent stations in this field, we mention two distinguished shows: the first was presented by Givenchy and bore the signature of its creative director Matthew Williams, while the second It was presented by Yohji Yamamoto, which has not missed the opportunity to participate this week for many years.
Matthew Williams presented his new collection for Givenchy in front of the huge bronze statue of Napoleon Bonaparte, who is looking at the Palace of "Invalides", where the show took place. Fashion critics saw that this collection is the best that the American designer presented to the French house three years ago, the date he assumed creative management duties in it. His designs were distinguished by elaborate tailoring and remarkable elegance, and some of his looks were sporty.
The collection included a variety of designs of suits, and jackets that were coordinated with shirts and ties, or with soft cotton shirts and sweaters. As for the pants, they maintained comfortable and wide cuts in harmony with the loose character, or what is known as the "oversize", which dominated all the designs of the group. The color palette adopted by Williams was mostly neutral and included gray, black and white suits. And he used some bright colors in the sports section of the group, including pink, yellow, blue, and green. As for the accompanying accessories, they came in the form of dark hats and bags that wrap around the waist or hang on the side.
The Japanese designer, Yahji Yamamoto, presented his show at his Parisian headquarters in the "Marie" district. This time, his designs carried a lot of privacy and were decorated with drawings, pictures, and paintings that evoke old memories. The show began with a group of dark looks, dominated by a romantic character, and decorated with brooches in the form of silver butterflies. Then drawings and pictures began to appear on shirts and suits, while the letter Y, which is the first letter of the designer’s name and his family, entered as a decorative element printed on many designs. The use of black and gray colors was repeated in most of the group's looks, with a shy appearance of light beige and red. It seemed remarkable that the designer used pieces of tissue that he added to the designs so that they appear to be hanging on them, and he also used large pins and chains as an element of the costume and not as an accessory to decorate it.
