Last weekend, Paris menswear\u00a0runway\u00a0witnessed the debut show of two remarkable designers as they\u00a0showcased their first collections to the public: Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton Spring 2019 Menswear and Kim Jones for Dior Homme Spring 2019.<\/p>\n
Here we\u00a0recap what you need to know about both highly-anticipated shows.<\/p>\n
Louis Vuitton Spring 2019 Menswear<\/strong><\/p>\n Bringing\u00a0his streetwear flair to\u00a0the 56-piece collection, Abloh\u00a0let it loose, literally, by sending\u00a0models down the runway in roomy blazers, baggy pants and oversized hoodies,\u00a0a slight contrast to his predecessor Kim Jones’ more refined statement. While Abloh tend to keep his works mainly clean (in Off-White as well as collabs), there’s also unexpected punch of neon in the form of vests and gloves, camo motifs as well as florals, giving the otherwise laidback pieces an interesting twist. The last look, a metallic silver poncho with a “Follow The Yellow Brick” patch taken from The Wizard of Oz\u00a0<\/em>is engraved as one of the most memorable looks from the collection.<\/p>\n The add-ons were nothing short of iconic\u00a0but we must admit the iridescent carryall at the end stole the show.\u00a0Abloh’s debut sneaker, on the other hand, give off a classic retro vibe with ankle-strap and “Vuitton” branding on the soles.<\/p>\n\r\n
