It truly is becoming evident just how much of the 90's influence is sweeping through the rest of the menswear collections that shifted from Milan over to show in Paris.
None more evident than at Dior Homme, where designer Kris Van Assche kept his guys in black, grey and a soft powdery grey across the board. All grown men with Superman fantasies will enjoy his caped crusaders at the end of the show.
And that powder colour was translated exceptionally well into the Hermes menswear Spring Summer 2011 collection, with a very refined and preppy feel that the luxury brand is famous for.
Kenzo men were substantially more vibrant though, and used a grey palette to ground the blues, greens and reds that were vividly dictating the upbeat mood for the overall show.
There was a technique used at Lanvin to suggest something more fun too, in a more subtle way though, if you can call jail cell stripes subtle. The collection also included distressed seam finishes and heavier textures for a summer range but that's the Lanvin way, even when it comes to their womenswear collections.
Paul Smith went for the iconic British rocker style that influenced his show, and if Russel Brand doesn't suit this collection, I don't know who will.
That's it for the boys for another season.
