Brave new man

Article Abstract:

The menswear collections shown in Paris, France, have indicated a significant shift away from tightly defined images of masculinity. Designers have made extensive use of patchwork textures in shirts, jeans and jackets, and have shown a preference for gemstone colours such as emerald and ruby. The Comme des Garcons collection included a jacket in dusty pink suede, worn with gingham cotton trousers, while Belgian designer Walter van Beirendonck used men wearing dresses, leggings and ponchos.
