IFM Bachelor of Arts SS27 Men Looks Report

Paris Fashion Week

Student designers here position themselves as active disruptors of gender categorization, merging menswear construction with draped, ruffled and feathered vocabulary drawn from womenswear without apology or irony. For buyers and style directors tracking the ongoing collapse of gendered product lines, this graduate output signals where the next wave of design talent intends to take the market.

Silhouette and Volume

Oversized and deliberately unresolved shapes dominate the lineup, with jackets, coats and tops cut well beyond the body and then gathered, draped or left to fall open. Look 9 extends a dark burgundy leather biker jacket over a floor-length draped grey column, creating a layered silhouette that reads as two garments in conflict. Look 13 piles gathered cotton outerwear over houndstooth panels and cream leather trousers, building volume through accumulation rather than tailoring. Proportion becomes negotiable here, with intentional excess replacing precision fit as the primary design language.
