Willy Chavarria to Jacquemus

From Willy Chavarria’s long-awaited Paris debut to Rick Owens’ another masterpiece collection, here’s what you need to know about the upcoming Paris Fashion Week Men’s FW25-26 schedule.

Each Fashion Week season brings a new wave of creative energy thanks to the many talented visionaries who continue to redefine the future of fashion. As we approach the next round of runway presentations, the spotlight is on key designers who are balancing newness and tradition, innovation and liberation. Rain Magazine’s roundup of this season’s must-see shows.

Named CFDA’s American Menswear Designer of the Year, Willy Chavarria proved to the industry that tradition is more than just a theme. This provides a deliberate foundation for the design ethos of his eponymous label, as seen in his sensational Spring/Summer 2025 collection “America.” Chavarria occupies a sweet spot between craftsmanship and invention, perfecting its own classic set while developing new silhouettes. His collection last season explored subtle interpretations of uniforms and suits by incorporating Mexican heritage into the collection. Each season offers a sophisticated perspective on fashion and what it means beyond the context of the runway. Willy Chavarria is a player to watch in the upcoming season.

Junichi Abe’s Kolor showed the industry a new way to explore the concept of uniforms, using innovative layering techniques and precise touches to seams and draping. For Spring/Summer 2025, Kolor elevates utility chic by seamlessly juxtaposing soft and hard materials, transforming everyday wear into a unique wardrobe. Thanks to Mr. Abe’s mastery of subtle yet impactful design elements, color remains relevant and appealing to a modern audience looking for functional sophistication with an artistic twist. .

The pioneering force of the avant-garde movement returns to our list with great expectations. In a hyper-postmodern world where fashion can mean everything or nothing, Rick Owens continues to be a pioneer in continuing to push the boundaries of what subcultural communities can contribute to the industry. From his intimate Fall/Winter 2024 collection ‘Porterville’ to the launch of one of the most historic fashion shows of the decade, Spring/Summer 2025 ‘Hollywood’, 2024 is a milestone for the brand. It has been said to be a great year. With the Fall/Winter 2025-26 season just around the corner, Rick Owens continues to lead the way in fashion innovation, delivering the most anticipated shows of each season.

KidSuper, the platform for all of Colm Dillane’s creative ventures, delivers a theatrical spectacle every fashion week without fail. As a designer and artist, I approach fashion beyond the medium of clothing through theatre, art, performance and music. A master of postmodern fashion theatre, Dillane’s infectious enthusiasm injects a playful element into every collection. The Spring/Summer 2025 show “It’s All Up in the Air” will be elevated to the level of a full theatrical performance, with Cirque du Soleil performers twisting and turning in the air in KidSuper-coded costumes. It was characterized by the way he did things. Tapping into a much-loved theme, Dillane pushed the boundaries of maximalism and explored how far imagination can take silhouettes. KidSuper is definitely a brand on everyone’s watch list.

After a two-year hiatus, the classic French house returns to the fashion calendar with its debut autumn/winter 2025-26 co-ed collection under new creative director Peter Copping. One of the oldest brands in the fashion world, Lanvin maintains a delicate brand DNA rooted in creativity, tradition and craftsmanship. With Copping at the helm, the stage is set for a new era of reinvention for the Maison, promising to explore new territory while respecting its storied heritage.

Simon Porte Jacquemus has established himself as a maverick in the fashion industry through his off-schedule shows over the past five years. Known for hosting independent shows in stunning locations, from the Camargue Park in the south of France to Casa Malaparte on the Italian island of Capri, his remarkable return to the fashion capital is worth noting. It will become a thing. The brand’s unparalleled visual storytelling continues to capture the hearts of fashion lovers, cementing Jacquemus as a cult label to follow.

As the fashion world enters 2025, Paris Fashion Week Men’s has emerged as a key moment on the calendar, promising revolutionary change through new creative directions and fresh narratives. Beyond the highlight shows in Paris, the season extends to Milan, with Louise Trotter’s first collection for Bottega Veneta in February raising expectations. The first quarter of 2025 is poised to redefine the foundations of modern fashion. Paris is ready and waiting to unfold a season where tradition and innovation come together to define tomorrow’s fashion statements.
