Psychedelic menswear in Paris
Psychedelia took over the Paris runway this week, with emerging designers proposing to load up the men's wardrobe with bold colors, flashy prints and flared trousers, as seen in the collections at Bluemarble, EGONlab. and Taakk.
The Franco-Filipino Anthony Alvarez, creator of Bluemarble, was in charge of opening the face-to-face catwalk of the Paris Men's Fashion Week, which began with the presentation of the autumn-winter 2022 collections.
Bluemarble was the first of the 17 brands that will walk the catwalk physically between now and Sunday, while a large majority continue to discover the digital tools with which to show their new designs to their potential public, as well as the press and buyers.
Alvarez filled the runway with color in loose tailored coats in shades of teal and green, purple velvet capes, ruffled and studded shirts, and hooded leopard-print trench coats.

He introduced wool, nylon, psychedelic motifs and hand embroidery, with a series of buttons drawing patterns on colored jackets and shirts.
The trousers, in vibrant colors, were worn wide, almost flared, and with a curious mid-calf cut that divided the garment into two: denim on top and hand-knitted on the bottom.
The wide shapes were also seen in the Japanese firm Taakk, which opted for a video revealed on the platform of the Haute Couture and Fashion Federation, organizer of the event, where it showed its flared pants, combined with tight turtleneck sweaters and jackets of velvet.
The seventies spirit was seen in the printed silk shirts, pajama type, with colors that are diluted in the garment, as well as sports jackets and faded trench coats by the Japanese Tayuka Morikawa, who created this brand in 2014 after years working together with Issey Miyake .
