HOUYHNHNM's picks 13 brands to watch for "Spring/Summer 2023!

The Paris Men's Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2023 was held from June 21 to 26 this year. HOUYHNHNM's team visited the site and checked out 25 shows and more than 30 collections including presentations and exhibitions. Since the Corona disaster, most of the new collections have been presented online, but this time many brands chose to present their collections in real life. We saw not only the clothes, but also the venue, the models, the production, the visitors, and the people who gathered outside the venue to catch a glimpse of the invited celebrities.... There was a multifaceted interest in fashion, an entertainment aspect that could only happen at a live show. A sense of presence and exuberance that cannot be obtained through a monitor. No matter how much the Internet and smartphones evolve, fashion is still something to be enjoyed physically. Let's take a look at the collections of the hottest brands at a glance!

06 JUNYA WATANABE MAN Junya Watanabe Man

The show was held at the same location as the COMME des GARÇONS Hommes Princes show.

Works by famous artists in one collection.

Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein . We have seen their pop art many times before, and it should be imprinted in our minds, but it is strange to see it on the runway in this way, because it feels fresh. The fact that the works of these masters, whose rights are complicated, could be combined in a single collection is a testament to the power of the Junya Watanabe Man brand, which has left its mark on the world of fashion. This season's humorous interpretation of workwear, the brand's forte, also features collaborations with such renowned brands as Levi's®, New Balance, Brooks Brothers, and Reigning Champ. Of particular note is the series of transfer prints created with the vintage clothing store "Berberzine. The single type rider's jacket, a new version of the previous collection that was very well received, is a brilliant piece of work. The unpretentious atmosphere that envelops the entire collection seems to capture very well the atmosphere of the modern age, which dislikes easy-to-comprehend coolness.

Paris Meal 01

Casa Cosa
Delicious and inexpensive Italian food!

We went to many different places to eat in Paris this time, and if you ask me which was the best, it would definitely be the bistro "Casa Cosa". Pizza, pasta, and ham platters were all delicious! Moreover, the food comes out as fast as at a fast-food restaurant when you order it (laughs). This is one of the restaurants we will definitely repeat next time.
