At the heels of the announcement that Carmen Marc Valvo will not show at the Bryant Park tents this year and that both Fendi and Marni will not do men’s shows this year, comes the surprise announcement that Gareth Pugh and Rick Owens will be showing a men’s collection at Paris’ upcoming Men’s Fashion Week.
Pugh will present in the Palais De Tokyo on January the 25th and he tells WWD that, “following the last show, the first show where I did not have any male models, lots of people commented on there not being any men’s wear in the collection….It felt like a good time to take on a new challenge and do a men’s wear collection. The collection will have all the staples of a men’s wear show, but obviously with my own slant. Looking at my sketches, we have a couple of coats titled ‘exploding dominators,’ if that tells you anything. Well, just come with an open mind.”
