This June, we returned to Paris for another inspiring week where fashion, food and culture seamlessly converged. Between showroom appointments and runway presentations, the city's culinary scene proved just as memorable, with evenings spent at LISSIT, ARCANE 17, BRUTOS and PLUTO with each offering its own distinctive atmosphere and approach to contemporary dining.

Among the week's highlights were Rick Owens' Spring/Summer 2027 presentation, Stone, an exploration of resilience, protection and architectural form, alongside ssstein's Spring/Summer 2027 show, where Kiichiro Asakawa translated the quiet optimism of early mornings into understated, elegantly layered tailoring. Together, the two collections showcased contrasting yet equally compelling visions of contemporary menswear.

Alongside the runway shows, we visited a selection of showroom presentations, gaining an early look at the upcoming Spring/Summer 2027 collections from some of our favourite brands. Throughout the week, craftsmanship, innovation and thoughtful design remained a common thread, reinforcing why Paris continues to set the tone for the seasons ahead.

For Spring/Summer 2027, Julian Klausner continued to shape a new chapter for Dries Van Noten through a collection defined by softness, colour and fluidity. Inspired in part by Stéphane Mallarmé's Afternoon of a Faun, the collection embraced a dreamlike atmosphere, exploring themes of lightness, nature and quiet sensuality.

A carefully orchestrated palette unfolded throughout the show, moving effortlessly from warm peach and caramel tones to rich earth colours, muted florals and cool aquatic blues. Gradient finishes, painterly botanical prints and delicate textures added depth without overwhelming the understated elegance of the garments.
