Paris sets the stage, and the designers are the players, making their entrances and exits, each with a story to tell. Shakespeare’s “Seven Ages of Man” could well describe the theatre of fashion, and few stages are grander than Paris Fashion Week Men’s 2025.
As the undisputed capital of couture and creativity, Paris isn’t a follower of trends but a creator of them. From legacy maisons to boundary-pushing newcomers, this isn’t just about menswear—it’s about momentum. What graces these runways shapes the next wave of luxury: in closets, in culture, and in commerce.
You may be an investor, a fashion follower, a style obsessive, or simply inquisitive, waiting for Paris to lift the curtain and redefine luxury menswear season after season. Just as when Shakespeare speaks, the literary world listens, and when Paris opens its arms, the style world is left mesmerized.
For a fashion enthusiast or a savvy investor, Paris Fashion Week Men’s 2025 is your guide to the future of luxury menswear.
Paris Homme: The Crown Jewel of Men’s Fashion
As London Fashion Week Men’s 2025 faces cancellation due to declining participation and commercial viability, Paris Fashion Week Men’s stands stronger than ever. Running from June 24 to June 29, 2025, it remains a cornerstone in the global fashion calendar. Known for its prestigious heritage and progressive stance, it’s also a vital platform for gender-fluid fashion, experimental tailoring, and Spring/Summer 2026 menswear trends.
Origins: From Versailles to Global Vanguard
- The modern version of Paris Fashion Week traces its roots to the Battle of Versailles in 1973—a fashion showdown held to raise funds for the restoration of the palace. It marked the convergence of French haute couture and American ready-to-wear, setting the tone for fashion diplomacy.
- Later that year, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) formalized Paris Fashion Week by introducing separate categories for men’s fashion, women’s fashion, and haute couture, establishing the foundation for today’s seasonal structure.
A Timeline of Menswear Evolution in Paris
- 1980s–90s: Avant-garde names like Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons redefined masculinity with deconstructed silhouettes and monochrome palettes.
- 2000s: Hedi Slimane’s razor-thin revolution at Dior Homme rewrote the rules of global menswear.
- 2010s–Present: Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton introduced luxury streetwear while the industry adopted gender-fluid, tech-infused, and culturally inclusive design philosophies.

All Eyes on Dior: Jonathan Anderson’s Game-Changing Debut
Set for June 27, Jonathan Anderson’s first collection for Dior Men is already creating a global buzz. With the exit of Kim Jones, LVMH’s decision to appoint Anderson signals a bold stylistic evolution for the house.
With his appointment, Jonathan Anderson becomes the first designer since Christian Dior himself to oversee all of Dior’s lines—men’s wear, women’s wear, and haute couture. Known for transforming Loewe with sculptural silhouettes, artisanal textures, and surrealist touches, the Northern Irish designer brings a legacy that blends craftsmanship with cultural relevance. From the iconic Loewe Puzzle bag to his gender-fluid runway shows at JW Anderson, his vision is unmistakably modern.
Why This Debut is Most Intriguing:
- Creative Shift: Expect a pivot from streetwear to Anderson’s signature conceptual minimalism, textural innovation, and story-driven design.
- Cultural Moment: Anderson has long been a tastemaker. His past work at Loewe and JW Anderson influences both runways and red carpets.
- Resale Impact: Loewe exclusives designed by Anderson are highly sought-after. Fashion investors and collectors will be closely eyeing Dior’s upcoming pieces.
- Celebrity Power: A post-show wave of red-carpet sightings is expected, boosting demand for both archival Dior and Anderson-designed exclusives.
Closing Act: Jacquemus Ends on a High Note
Simon Porte Jacquemus, winner of the LVMH Prize and the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, will close the week on June 29. The location of the show is under wraps. Known for his theatrical spectacles and modern romanticism, this finale is likely to merge art, architecture, and fashion in the signature Jacquemus style.
The Resale Ripple: How Paris Fashion Week Shapes Secondary Market Demand
Paris Fashion Week isn’t just a barometer for style — it’s a crystal ball for resale value. Certain runway moments spark immediate spikes in consumer demand, particularly for brands with cult followings or those that achieve viral moments on the runway.
Based on industry trends and Media Impact Value data, Paris Fashion Week has played a pivotal role in driving trends and boosting sales for luxury menswear. In 2024, Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer Men’s collection, led by Pharrell Williams, saw sneakers appreciate by an estimated 25% in resale value weeks after Paris Fashion Week (PFW), fueled by celebrity buzz and a $42.6 million Media Impact Value (MIV). Dior Men, under Kim Jones, followed closely, with tailored pieces from the Spring/Summer 2024 show gaining approximately 18% in resale value, reflecting the brand’s $32.7 million MIV and exclusivity. Saint Laurent, with Anthony Vaccarello’s bold Fall/Winter 2024 outerwear, saw a 12% resale spike, driven by $28.7 million in MIV and timeless appeal.
