Menswear highlights from Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024
Louis Vuitton
After his Pre-Fall 2024 show in Hong Kong, Louis Vuitton’s creative director Pharrell Williams came up with an extraordinary showcase for its Fall/Winter 2024 lineup. This time, the cowboy aesthetic was the highlight as Williams explored the American Western wardrobe. The focus was on workwear in the American wardrobe by accentuating elements ranging from denim and colourful embroideries.
Pieces like cowboy shirts and workwear silhouettes adorned with beadwork and embellishments, trench coats and denim jackets with embroideries, blazers with patchwork, fur coats, bomber and leather jackets, suits and monogram co-ord sets in the shades of maroon, brown, khaki, white and black brought together the Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 24 collection.

Dior‘s creative director Kim Jones brought ballet to its latest Fall/Winter 2024 showcase. Inspired by the design heritage of the brand, the collection dives into Saint Laurent’s tailoring legacy that he introduced to the house with a focus on his distinctive volumes, vents, pleats and necklines. Incorporating a ballet motif, the ballet flats redefine a new masculine interpretation, seamlessly blending Jones’ creative vision with the art of dance.
From double-breasted suits, sheer t-shirts, colourful cardigans, loose trench coats and zippered wool jumpsuits to form-fitting ribbed knits, the collection reimagines the idea of ‘simplicity meets functionality’. Coming to the accessories, softly crafted utilitarian bags, including oversized-grained bum and camera bags have enhanced the brand’s iconic elements.

Jonathan Anderson has collaborated with American artist Richard Hawkins for Loewe’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection. Hawkins is a professor of painting and drawing at the University of California, who is recognised for merging pop-culture allusions with obscure references and quotations.
The FW 2024 collection continues to portray the lively colour palettes seen in previous seasons. The range features checkered shirts, denim overall, scaled leather coats, printed cardigans, ribbed knits alongside beaded trousers and bags, as well as colourful polo shirts creatively displayed inside jackets, introducing a new dimension to traditional silhouettes and bold use of colours.
Hermès
Hermès is the one fashion house that knows how to perfect the trend of quiet luxury, and for Fall/Winter 2024, Creative Director Véronique Nichanian presented a collection that prioritises versatility. The combination of tweeds and wool evokes an English countryside aesthetic, while the inclusion of leather accents introduces an edgier aesthetic.
Speaking of the clothing, slim tailoring continues to define suiting silhouettes, outerwear classics come with leather additions, belted long leather coats and knitwear with mixed patterns are some of the standout pieces of the presentation. Some noteworthy accessories encompass crocodile leather belts and boots, cashmere beanies and canvas bucket hats. The colour palette revolves around dusty greys, classic black and brown, with hints of earthy greens and pale purples.
Valentino

Pierpaolo Piccioli marks the return of Valentino to menswear after a four-year hiatus, unveiling a new collection at the Paris Fashion Week 2024. Titled Le Ciel, the collection serves as an ongoing reflection of contemporary ideals surrounding masculinity.
In this iteration, the designer denoted one colour as a medium to communicate ideas and ideals. Most of the clothing is anchored in a pure blue hue, traditionally considered the symbol of masculinity. With this collection, Piccioli reevaluates this trope, prompting a reconsideration of the discourse surrounding the modern man. Multi-pocketed trench coats, bowling shirts, blazers, sequin jackets, knit tops, oversized jackets and blazers are some of the remarkable pieces from the fashion spectacular.
Kenzo
Creative director Nigo maintained a connection between Paris and Tokyo at Kenzo’s FW 2024 presentation at Paris Fashion Week. He went on to experiment with a traditional tatami mat print on overcoats.
Additionally, he introduced his reinterpretation of the karakusa pattern, a popular motif found on packaging fabrics across Asia. The patterns and prints were spotted on the duffle bags, multi-pocketed jackets, shearling mittens, aviators and his signature deconstructed treated denim workwear.
Balmain

Balmain has officially made a comeback to the menswear fashion calendar, with creative director Olivier Rousteing channelling the ’80s energy in 2024. Think bright colours, bold prints, metallics and embellished silhouettes. The designer placed a spotlight on eyes and lips in his latest fashion showcase.
The show started with a bejewelled double-breasted coat embellished with oversized eyes on its sleeves, accentuated by black lapels that framed the striking visuals. Some other clothing items featured prominent prints of lips splashed across T-shirts, blazers, trench coats and trousers.
Additionally, colour played an important role in defining the collection — hues like yellow, bright blue, pastel pink, neon orange, metallic gold and black augmented the designer’s vision.
Paul Smith
Paul Smith‘s latest Fall/Winter 2024 collection vividly showcased a comparison by blending quintessential elements of British style – such as WW2 rider jackets, puffer jackets, suede coats, classic overcoats, knit vests and padded gilets with modernist-inspired colours, prints and motifs. The colour palette featured deep purples, navies and browns, accented by a pop of lime green and ochre.
Smith’s vibrant ‘Signature Stripe’ motif adorned layered cardigans and knit sweaters, adding a distinctive touch to the collection.
