Paris Men's Fashion Week Shows Rise of Gender‑Fluid Menswear
Paris Men’s Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 highlighted a shift toward quieter, more intentional menswear, with designers favouring clean lines, muted palettes and refined construction. Collections from Saint Laurent, Dior, Louis Vuitton and others blended formal tailoring with informal, street‑inspired elements, and footwear became a focal point.
The shows featured pronounced gender‑bending: women models walked co‑ed runways for brands such as Amiri, Ami and Vetements, and designers presented garments that borrowed from womenswear—pearls, pink blouses and sheer fabrics at Dior, leather briefs and transparent shoes at Saint Laurent. The trend reflects a broader industry move toward fluid gender expression, noted by academics as a commercial response to Gen‑Z attitudes. Saint Laurent has set a target to double its men’s sales by 2030, underscoring the commercial stakes of the shift.
