Paris Fashion Show I Women Paris Fashion

Givenchy adopted for a flying wedge of his peers and gave the clothes a ferociously sexy Emporio Armani show cased wrinkly things, scaly designs, burgundy leather mesh, sober suits, and lots of orange, deluxe oriental fabrications; long johns, models on BMX bikes and a tiny child in pinstripes. If the designer's signature collection was an exercise in adult restraint, this outing felt like an experiment in quirk. The opening outfit set the tone- a transparent onyx parka over Lycra shorts, in keeping with what has become the Zucchelli tradition of extreme sportswear. This time, translucence was the key for Calvin Klein.

 Triangles and hexagons woven into a cotton fabric turned a generously cut summer jacket into a delicate mosaic. Colour took centre-stage at the Paris-based Japanese label Issey Miyake, as designer Dai Fujiwara sent out Turkish-inspired harem pants and short suits in turquoise, ceylon and Persian blues; embellished with geometric mosaic designs and eye-popping tulip prints. The looks were eye-catching, but gave even style maverick Adrian Brody look. Heavy metal sequins covering several well-cut jackets sparkled like scales.

 The German suit maker also sent out a collection fit for the beaches of a chic French beach resort. Cuts came through at Hugo Boss from a 1980's take on tailoring. Bold prints, harem pants, slim fitted trousers, tailored look and beefy sailor looks ruled the runway. The week just got over on 29th of June lightening the sartorial load on the ramp with ultra light fabrics.

 Men's catwalk exploded the runway with fireworks emanating from designer collections at Paris Fashion Week.
