Chic Pirates For Men's Fashion
loading...
John Galliano and Jean-Paul Gaultier, two of fashion's top talents, offered radically different takes on next summer for the style-conscious man: a choice between the pirate look and timeless chic.
As men's fashion week reached its midpoint in the French capital, Yohji Yamamoto, Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton and Belgium's Dries van Noten unveiled sweet, softer collections with a hint of British eccentricity.
Galliano, the British bad boy who will unveil his haute couture collection for Christian Dior this week, obviously adored Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Caribbean", bringing the actor's sexy, bedraggled look to the Paris catwalk. Transforming the Theatre des Bouffes du Nord into the deck of a pirate ship, Galliano sent out an array of costumes fit for the sea-faring set: full-leg trousers cinched with wide sashes under cropped military-type jackets.
The costumes will be greatly modified before hitting the store racks, but who cares? Galliano loves putting on a great show, and he delivered with his second menswear collection.
