Riko, with his skull facial tattoo. |
Yesterday, Creative Director Nicola Formichetti and menswear designer Romain Kremer started the Paris Men Fashion Week, launching the reinvented Thierry Mugler brand.
Body tight, except for a few wide trousers, and mostly in dark; a lot of latex and silver plated, models, with a fabulous make-up, wearing suit jackets and coats without lapels. Zipped pockets, and neoprene turtlenecks padded trousers. Riko, the famous young Montreal with skull facial tattoo was on the catwalk.
Orange and red featured as contrast colours, denim and leather jeans add a dark and gloomy touch to the collection. But the darker side is when models started to coming out in flowing silk veils to cover the face, as if they were a sort of male cyber bride.
Today is the second day of shows and the calendar is full of names: Viktor & Rolf Monsieur, Alexis Mabille, Issey Miyake, Rick Owens, Juun J., Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier, Smalto, Dries Van Noten, Yohji Yamamoto & Adam Kimmel.
