Paris fashion week continues trend for men’s statement suit
The sober suiting chosen by prime ministers, presidents and bank bosses, such as Barclays’ Bob Diamond, appears to be over. On the international catwalks this week the message for spring/summer 2013 is loud and clear: the statement suit is the new navy.
In Paris on Friday, cult fashion label Balenciaga showed a striking tomato red suit made in a silk cotton worn with white buckle boots. Junya Watanabe’s spring/summernew collection featured pink and bold check suits worn with cropped trousers or shorts.
Ann Demeulemeester, queen of gothic romance, featured a double-breasted velvet suit in sunset orange. The statement suit has been gaining momentum in the trend stakes since London kicked off the spring/summer 2013 menswear season earlier this month where patterned suits were key looks at labels such as Jonathan Saunders and Agi Sam.
Last weekend in Milan, Gucci’s menswear collection opened with an apple green single-breasted suit followed with head-to-toe suits in primary colours, including yellow and red.
In Paris on Thursday the excellent Dries Van Noten show added a mix-and-match aesthetic, featuring a gold double-breasted jacket styled with modern camouflage print shorts.
Backstage at Dries Van Noten, David Walker Smith, buying director of Selfridges, confirmed the department store would be buying into the statement suit next season.
He said: “From block colour suits to Dries Van Noten’s jackets in camouflage or patterned suits worn with shorts as seen at Jil Sander, next season is very much a play on the suit.” The Sander label are producing a trouser suit version of the catwalk patterned shorts set specifically for Selfridges.
Bold tailoring and print trousers are already doing a brisk trade on the shop floor of the department store this summer. Burberry pattern trousers have sold out while next season’s items, such as Alexander McQueen’s bold check suits, are performing well.
“Men are wanting to further differentiate themselves from the corporate world,” said Adrian Clark, style director of Shortlist. “It is seriously unfashionable to be a City boy at the moment, what with everything that is going on economically and politically.”
Luke Day, fashion director of GQ Style, said the statement suit look was already happening on the high street.
“If you look at H+M, Topman and Asos they are awash with block colour and print tailoring. The young tastemakers have already adopted this trend and this has influenced designers, rather than the other way round.”
Two trends that seem to have united the male front row and the shopping buying public are colourful trousers and boldly printed shirts. Jeremy Langmead, editor-in-chief of Mr Porter, has been wearing yellow Jil Sander trousers during the shows while MS earlier this year reported a hike in the sales of Hawaiian print shirts.
Printed trousers also appear to be coming back. Prada included lurid floral golf trousers in their current summer collection while stores such as Topman are selling smart and skinny Aztec patterned trousers.
“There’s a new confidence in men’s fashion,” said Walker Smith of the rise of these bold fashion pieces that perhaps 10 years ago might have been worn by only a handful of men.
His theory is backed up by a recent consumer report by American Express that claimed that Generation Y men (those born after 1982) have increased their spending on fashion faster than an other generation. It also said that while men shop less often than women, they spend on average 24% more per transaction.

Paris Men’s: Losing Control
Valerio Mezzanotti for The New York TimesLooks from Lanvin at the Paris men’s shows.
The opening black-and-white looks in the spring Lanvin show on Sunday set a mood for the precise message that followed. White suits with paper-thin black leather vests or shirts, a sleek black suit in a slightly wrinkled fabric shown, sockless, with a narrow black tie against clean white cotton: Alber Elbaz and Lanvin’s men’s fashion director, Lucas Ossendrijver, meant business. They banished last season’s color, at least until a dash of pastel pink and blue at the end — and then not so very much. The suits were dead simple. The collection’s many renditions of full-cut trousers worn with blousy shirts — sleeves rolled up, some with sheer elements — looked at once macho and graceful. Military meets ballet. Mr. Ossendrijver also tackled the season’s themes of transparency and fabrics with glossy, crinkled surfaces. Indeed, few designers did them better.
Valerio Mezzanotti for The New York TimesSilver-painted models appeared in life-size Slinkies, each one covered in a skin of matte-silver fabric at Thom Browne’s show in Paris. Then their helical contraptions sank to the ground, revealing Mr. Browne’s short-pants suits in Easter-egg plaids.
A Thom Browne show is a little like watching a long fuse crackle and burn toward a pile of dynamite — and then, pppfft, nothing. A dud. On Sunday evening, in a palatial courtyard on the Left Bank, silver-painted models appeared in life-size Slinkies, each one covered in a skin of matte-silver fabric.

The audience beamed as the models set off toward a square of grass, where shoes were arranged in a grid pattern. Each stepped into a pair. Then, on cue, their helical contraptions sank to the ground, revealing Mr. Browne’s short-pants suits in Easter-egg plaids, with whale and lobster motifs. The interest was very short-lived.
