Givenchy creative director Matthew Williams hit the runway on Wednesday in a collection of layered menswear, suit jackets over hoods and wide-leg bermuda shorts. Adding texture, the designer of the LVMH-owned French fashion house also wove pops of color and distressed elements into the line, which included brightly colored fur coats, shiny coats and exotic leather patterns.
The event was held on the second day of menswear shows at Paris Fashion Week, which runs until January 22 and includes high-end labels Louis Vuitton, Dior Homme, Hermes and Maison Margiela. Among the celebrity arrivals, K-pop star Taeyang, named a Givenchy brand ambassador on Tuesday, greeted crowds as he made his way across the cobblestones to the venue – a tent erected in front of the imposing 18th-century complex – of the Ecole Militaire in the center of Paris.
European fashion labels are looking to capitalize on the global popularity of South Korean stars by targeting younger shoppers, and the latest wave of tie-ups include BTS’s Jimin for Dior and rapper Suga at Valentino, also announced this week.
