Three Designers Reveal Transformative Male Fashion in Paris
Parijs, maandag, 30 juni 2025.
During the most recent Paris Fashion Week, Willy Chavarria, Kolor, and Riefe presented a bold and innovative vision of contemporary male fashion. Chavarria’s collection was particularly striking with its socially engaged statement against migration policy, where 35 performers wore white t-shirts as a symbolic reference to deportations. The designers challenge not only the visual norms of male fashion but also use their platform to address critical social themes. Their layered presentations show how fashion is more than just clothing - it is a form of cultural expression and political commentary.
Socially Engaged Fashion
Willy Chavarria’s collection during Paris Fashion Week distinguished itself through a powerful political statement about immigration policy. The show opened with 35 performers wearing identical white t-shirts, a symbolic reference to migrants deported during the Trump administration [1]. Chavarria’s design concept goes beyond aesthetics: “Luxury doesn’t interest me as privileges, but as a symbol of personal intention and truth” [1].
Innovative Fashion Perspectives
In addition to Chavarria, Kolor and Riefe also presented innovative perspectives on male fashion. Kolor’s new creative director Taro Horiuchi introduced a collection that mixed active sportswear and trail style, with gender-neutral clothing designs [2]. The fashion week in Paris showed how designers use fashion as a platform for social commentary and artistic expression [3].
