Trend Report From PFW Men's FW24

[Hypebeast] February 01, 2024 Weekly Digest 🧥 The Biggest Trends at Paris Fashion Week Men’s FW24 TLDR: From reworked corporate uniforms to endless collaborations, these are the trends we spotted on the runway this season. Why It Matters: This season took a different approach for Fall/Winter 2024, seeing international designers deliver wearable collections that complement your existing wardrobe. On-schedule talent welcomed international attendees from all walks of life, jumping between common themes of tailoring, utility, and staple accessories that revamped traditional corporate uniforms. Japanese label AURALEE kicked off the first day by dropping its suit at the dry cleaners, seeing models walk the runway wearing strong-shouldered suits, pleated trousers, and tinted shirting accompanied by workwear garments. Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh’s BOTTER expanded into grunge, with the playful label mixing deconstructed cuts with fringed patchwork and double-layered button-ups.

Why It Matters: The new space is situated in the vibrant and central area of Apgujeong, renowned as a shopping destination for streetwear aficionados. In a two-story space and Palace’s biggest store yet, the retailer is set to open to the public later this week. The exclusive drop will see South Korean influences on classic Palace staples. For one, t-shirts see the Palace brand name translated to Korean, maintaining the signature red and blue stripe designs, coincidentally matching the colors of the South Korean flag. The Korean branding for Palace replaces the original one and can be seen as an overlay on the triangle logo on the hoodie.

Why It Matters: Cole Bennett might be the most connected guy in the hip-hop industry – and probably the only guy to get Kid Cudi and Lil Durk on a song and music video together in matching three-piece suits. The man behind Lyrical Lemonade even gathered 34 artists for the multimedia collective’s long-awaited debut album, All Is Yellow. From OG Lyrical Lemonade homies like Lil Tecca, Lil Skies and Ski Mask The Slump God to some of Bennett’s most revered “musical pioneers” – Lil B, Cudi and Juicy J – All Is Yellow is an immersive audiovisual experience, one that makes stops at genres beyond Lyrical Lemonade’s standard scope and pairs musicians whom you’d never find on a track together anywhere else.

Why It Matters: Through a fusion of traditional elements and contemporary expressions, African diaspora communities are redefining how Africa is perceived on the international stage. By leveraging their cultural influence, they bring forth a nuanced narrative that goes beyond stereotypes, challenging misconceptions and fostering cross-cultural understanding. In this way, the diaspora is no longer merely a displaced community; it is a dynamic force driving Africa’s cultural landscape around the world. In acknowledging and celebrating diaspora streetwear brands, we recognize the architects of a global African renaissance. These brands are not only fashion statements but bold expressions of a multifaceted cultural identity.
