Discourse about manhood in Paris Men Spring/Summer 2009

Men’s showing Paris for spring/summer 2009 showed the same key trends as Mila; clothes showcasing men’s chest, lots of shorts, prints and pattern, on other spectrum minimalist clothes. But in Paris the main news is all about the discourse on manhood. You can sum up the Paris Men show as languid school boys (Lanvin and YSL) plus swaggering macho men (John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier) equals poetic older men (Yohji Yamamoto and Ann Demeulesmeester).
