Milan, London, Paris you name it – streets were crammed and show venues packed, in the last 2 weeks courtesy the spring summer 2024 edition of the men’s fashion week. Biggies like Prada, Dior and Louis Vuitton made their mark known through their meticulously designed collections whereas the star studded front rows were particularly talked about, because let’s face it, celeb power has always crunched in the numbers with placid ease.
Be it Homme Plissé by Issey Miyake’s live dressing on the runway or Pharrell’s debut bout for LV, here’s a look at what went down at the recently concluded men’s fashion week.

The Issey Miyake live presentation at Homme Plissé had fabric rolls being unravelled and set out to reveal the clothing inside, and it was impressive enough to be termed a technological marvel. The components were then put on the models mid-runway, and they continued in the presentation afterward. Team Miyake has consistently emphasised the importance of humanising their presentation through thought-provoking storytelling, and this just proves their mettle in the arena.

Thai stars Mile and Apo alongside Gossip Girl spinoff alumni Thomas Doherty were in attendance to reiterate the power of stardom.

One of the most viral moments from this edition of men’s fashion week has to be the ‘Cigarette Coat’ by Institut Français de la Mode alumni Jiawei Han. Made out of thousands of cigarette butts, this oversized sculptured ensemble alongside their naked ‘Muscle Suit’ propelled majority of the attention on this newly graduated, Covid batch design genius.
