Paris Fashion Week lights up with bold hues from Issey Miyake, Sean Suen, Bluemarble and Amiri
A renewed sense of vibrancy pulsed through the menswear collections on day three of Paris Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2026. In contrast to the subdued tones that have dominated recent seasons—often reflecting the world's uncertain climate—color made a striking comeback. Designers embraced both delicate, springlike hues and fearless, high-impact tones, signaling a shift toward optimism on the runway. Nowhere was this bold resurgence more apparent than at Issey Miyake, Sean Suen, Bluemarble and Amiri. See catwalk At Issey Miyake, innovation met performance in a showcase that placed fabric and movement at the forefront. The IM Men collection, titled "Dancing Texture," debuted at the soon-to-be-relocated Fondation Cartier, where colossal textile panels depicting abstract landscapes floated above a live performance. Dancers moved fluidly beneath them, dressed in samurai-inspired garments that brought the designs' sculptural qualities to life. Color and texture took the lead, expressed through inventive techniques. The design trio of Yuki Itakura, Sen Kawahara and Nobutaka Kobayashi drew inspiration from Japanese ceramicist Shoji Kamoda. His rounded, scale-like motifs were echoed across suits, tunics, kimono jackets and draped trench coats in a lively color palette. Elsewhere, the collection explored the contrast of matte vermilion against undulating white, inspired by Kamoda's jars, or adopted the look of ash-glazed ceramics. Textures deepened—from faded gray denim sets to wavy-knit leggings and satin harem trousers in emerald green. As always, the label displayed a masterful sense of color harmony. Vivid and pastel tones were layered with effortless finesse, such as a grass-green raincoat worn over a bright red jacket and electric blue trousers, or a lilac cotton suit paired with a lime mandarin-collar shirt. See catwalk At Sean Suen, subtle bursts of color brought freshness to a neutral-toned wardrobe. Golden yellow and olive green cropped sweaters were layered over powder blue and sky-colored shirts, paired with flowing trousers or Bermudas. A pale pink trench was thrown over an ice-blue knit and a sage green shirt, creating a dreamlike palette. The Chinese designer envisioned a hazy summer afternoon: a student slouched over his desk in a law library—specifically, the historic Cujas Law Library, repurposed as the show venue—drifting into reverie. These daydreams materialized as silhouettes that blurred eras, styles and fabrics. Draped wraps reminiscent of antiquity were worn over modern shorts, blending fantasy and wearability. Classic suits in lightweight wool or distressed leather were reinterpreted through surreal details: trousers clipped to jackets, shirt collars with ancient coin buttons, tank tops adorned at chest height with the same coins, sleeve-like scarves trailing to the ground, and ribbon-tied socks evoking the opulence of the Louis XIV era. See catwalk At Bluemarble, color reached an explosive crescendo. Roaring tigers were woven into red sweaters, highlighter-yellow pants clashed playfully with oversized green coats lined in camouflage, and caftan-style tunics were covered in travel pins, rendered in both vibrant orange and multicolor versions. This season, designer Anthony Alvarez looked to his childhood in Toulon for inspiration, recalling trips up Mont Faron in a cable car. These nostalgic visuals—azure skies, snow-capped peaks, steel cables—were translated into prints on denim pieces, while models walked through a fog-filled runway scattered with leaves and bark. The collection leaned into Bluemarble's streetwear essence with a more focused, grounded approach: ripped and washed jeans, hoodies, bombers, and knitwear—all accented with shimmering embellishments. Sequined mosaics lit up white T-shirts, rhinestone edelweiss motifs climbed up trousers and burst across shirts, and metal studs discreetly dotted lumberjack plaids. Climbing ropes edged pockets, continuing the mountaineering theme with a youthful twist. See catwalk Amiri transported its audience to a romantic, storybook setting, presenting its collection in a classic French garden adorned with fountains, gravel paths and rose-covered trellises. Spring unfolded in full bloom—both figuratively and literally—as embroidered cherry blossoms stretched across shoulders, crept down jackets and spilled over cardigans. One standout tapestry-style bomber was entirely saturated in florals, blurring the line between garment and garden. The American label's signature dandies remained as suave as ever, with vintage hotel room keys dangling from belt loops and lapels, and '70s sunglasses completing the look. Waistcoats plunged dramatically, jackets lengthened with exaggerated lapels, and leather pieces were so soft they mimicked the sheen of satin. Models strode confidently in three-piece suits—whether in lightweight wool with pinstripes or Prince of Wales checks, or in lush velvets. Tailoring was flawlessly fluid, and rich embellishments—satin lapels, embroidered motifs—elevated the ensembles. Pajama sets were paired with luxurious silk robes, and sparkling polos added flair. Between safari jackets with cigar pockets and lace-trimmed pieces, these modern dandies had no shortage of stylish choices.

Issey Miyake transforms the Cartier Foundation into living sculpture garden with light and movement
PARIS (AP) — As Paris wilted under the ruthless June sun, Issey Miyake sent out a battalion of intergalactic fashion soldiers at the Cartier Foundation Thursday, shimmering between art and menswear apparel in a spectacle where even the light was a player. The late-morning sun bounced sharply off the art museum's monumental steel pillars, forcing some guests to slide their seats to escape the dazzling reflections — an impromptu game of musical chairs set to a pulsing, kinetic soundtrack. This Paris Fashion Week season finds the Miyake house in the midst of transition. In January, Paris bid adieu to Homme Plissé — Miyake's pleated cult favorite that had anchored the city's menswear calendar since 2019 — as the brand shifted its focus to nomadic shows, most recently appearing under the Tuscan sun. The torch in Paris has now been passed to IM Men, the last line personally conceived by Issey Miyake before his death in 2022. Thursday's show marked IM Men's return to the Paris stage, under the direction of designers Sen Kawahara, Yuki Itakura, and Nobutaka Kobayashi. A kinetic dance of light and fabric The theme, 'Dancing Texture,' nodded to the ceramic artistry of Shoji Kamoda, but also to the surreal choreography on display. Models appeared to roll, tilt, and swing through the light, their movements somewhere between ballet and a slow-motion video game. Occasionally, a guest would squint, unsure if they were watching a runway show or a heat-induced hallucination. The crowd — equal parts Parisian cool, visiting editors, and those for whom a pleated culotte is a spiritual calling — dodged the sun's glare and fanned themselves in the heat, shifting for both comfort and the best sightline. The first model glided out in a mad, angular hat, setting the tone for a parade of tin man-meets-space ninja silhouettes designed for dance floors or distant planets. The clothes themselves looked as if they had been engineered for a new climate — or perhaps a new species. Surfaces peeled, rippled, and shimmered, metallic foils flashed against the sun, and jacquard weaves evoked the carved waves of Kamoda's ceramics. Vermilion and white motifs burst forth alongside a near-neon green, courtesy of upcycled fishing nets. A coat unzipped into a dramatic collar while some blousons and pants, when laid flat, formed perfect circles — a wink at Kamoda's wheel-thrown plates. Miyake, who died in 2022, loomed large over the collection, his vision unmistakable in every engineered pleat and playful transformation. IM Men is the last line he conceived — a living laboratory for innovation, risk, and occasional absurdity, now energetically interpreted by a younger team. Even in his absence, his legacy is alive in every joke, fold, and jolt of surprise on the runway. Born in Hiroshima in 1938, Miyake rose from postwar Japan to become a global force, transforming fashion in the 1980s and '90s with his radical, sculptural vision. He pioneered heat-set pleating and created lines like Pleats Please and A-POC that blurred the boundaries between art, science, and daily life. Miyake's designs liberated fabric, allowing it to move with the body and imagination alike. Of course, the fashion house's embrace of the avant-garde still courts danger. Thursday's spectacle occasionally veered into excess, with kinetic art and sci-fi headgear that threatened to upstage the clothes themselves — a familiar Miyake risk. But the best moments, like a pared-back tangerine overcoat that floated past, proved restraint can sometimes steal the show.
