Twice a year, in between the whirlwind that is February and September fashion weeks, fashion aficionados gather once again in Milan and Paris for the runway unveiling of the most anticipated menswear collections of the forthcoming season. Men’s fashion week, once overlooked in the shadow of its womenswear counterparts, has grown in popularity over recent years (much due to the popularity of certain clout-heavy figures being placed at the helm of legacy fashion brands such as Kim Jones at Dior and now Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton), attracting newfound attention from both giddy showgoers and media.
As industry professionals flocked to Paris for the commencement of shows at the start of the summer, so too did some of the most fashionably inclined celebrities, influencers and public figures for a weeklong sprint of front row appearances and afterparties, many of whom were snapped by the lenses of Beyond The Pines’ Matt Abad (Bad Boi). Ahead, Mat offers a look at who’s who of attendees at shows such as Yohji Yamamoto, Sacai, Rhude, and Amiri.
This season at Yohji, BTP snapped Columbian star Maluma. The singer, though his traditional style is a little more eccentric than Yohji’s palette, looked calm, cool and sleek wearing jet black sunglasses and a tailored camo jacket.
Fresh off the runway from starring in Marine Serre’s latest women’s show, singer Teyana Taylor is no stranger to high fashion on and off the runway. A street style regular, Taylor donned a linen and pearl ensemble to the Amiri show.
Fashion forwards as always, Miguel has cemented suiting as this season’s hottest menswear trend. The singer was seen front row at the Yohji Yamamoto show wearing a two piece suit (in this case, a vest and trousers, sans shirt), paired with a few pieces of understated jewelry right in line with the the boom of minimalism.
There is no doubt that Noah Cyrus has quickly become a fashion icon in her own right. Having also freshly walked the Marine Serre runway alongside Teyana Taylor, Cyrus was spotted front row at Yohji’s spring/summer show in a dramatic black trench, and even an more dramatic, wide-brimmed hat, fit for exactly the occasion.
South Korean rapper and producer Gemini was snapped front row at Amiri’s menswear show. Like the collection’s South of France lifestyle aesthetic, Gemini was seen sporting a light blue oversized suit in the Paris heat.
Caelan Moriarity, the 22-year-old Japanese pop group INTERSECTION band member, was seen on the streets of Paris donning this season’s latest trends. Dressed to the menswear nines, BTP captured the singer in a chic Amiri ensemble comprised of front pleated pants, and a fantasy-inspired toile jacket.
Always a top ticket in both streetstyle and collections, this season’s Sacai show was no exception. Singer and songwriter Rauw Alejandro (who happens to be engaged to singer Rosalia) was in attendance wearing an understated navy ensemble to compliment his turquoise hair.
No stranger to fashion, South Korean rapper BM has modeled for Boss, Balenciaga, Burberry and other luxury brands. This season, BTP snapped him at Sacai’s spring/summer show donning a characteristically ruffled cream bomber jacket by the brand.
Former GQ man of the year and South Korean based singer, Eric Nam, was spotted at this season’s Sacai show dressed in a full look by the designer. Matching with many other celebrity attendees, Sacai’s streetwear inspired collection saw a sea of bomber jackets spread across the front row.
Originating from Harlem, New York based celebrity stylist, Bloody Osiris is quickly becoming one of fashion’s most well known figures, both as a stylist and as style icon in his own right. Spotted at the Marine Serre show, Osiris brought his own spin to the designer’s characteristic streetwear.
Relatively new to the Paris fashion week scene, Japanese dancer and actor, Reno Sano’s smile lit up his street style pictures throughout the week. The actor was seen attending Kenzo, Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton debut, and Sacai this SS24 season.
Possibly one of the biggest purveyors of the avant-garde in menswear right now, singer Tommy Cash pulled out all the stops yet again at the Doublet show. While Doublet had models hoverboarding down the runways to warn against the dangers of AI, Tommy decided the best time to eat during fashion week might as well be on the go, bringing an entire dining set with him.
From overtaking TikTok with his lively OOTD videos, to landing a spot on the Balmain runway, Wisdm Kaye has quickly become a fashion industry darling. Never to disappoint with a look, Kaye was seen at this season’s Sacai SS24 Menswear show in a full textured red look featuring the brand’s classic bandana print and textile manipulation.
Model and influencer style duo Jun Chiu and Kiwi Lee are no strangers to flexing their coordinated couple’s looks throughout fashion week. this year, they were spotted attending the likes of Givenchy, Yohji Yamamoto, Kenzo, Sacai, even modeling in some of the designer’s campaigns.
Achraf Hakimi, PSG footballer, was spotted front row at this season’s Rhude show amongst other fellow athletes Kyle Kuzma and Daid Abala. True to the brand’s laid back lifestyle and aesthetic, Hakimi sported an open button down, opting to tie his jeans and tucked in perfect white-tee with a rope instead of a belt.
In an elegant and classically understated gray suited ensemble, Australian model Lara Worthington was snapped front row at this season’s Yohji Yamamoto show alongside her husband Sam Worthington who lead in this year’s earlier released Avatar: The Way of Water. Sam was dressed in a full nylon re-edition Prada suit, and the couple looked on picture perfect theme for a Yohji show.
