A Journey Through Silhouettes with Thom Browne, KidSuper, Jacquemus and More

Many designers reflected on fashion and childhood memories during Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Jacquemus returned to his provincial roots at the stunning L’Orangerie du Château de Versailles, reminding us to reconnect with nature—specifically the fruits and vegetables that nourish us. Thom Browne and Maison Mihara Yasuhiro drew from their fashion legacies, building upon past ideas to create fresh perspectives. KidSuper brought a childhood dream to life with his “Superhero” car, featuring all the whimsical details we once imagined—balloons, turbine wings, and even a slingshot. long. Here are our favorites from their spring/summer 2026 collections.

Undercover — but beautiful

For the men’s spring/summer collection, Jun Takahashi continues to explore the theme of “but beautiful” from the women’s collection. Compared to the previous season, the distortions are softened, and asymmetry makes way for more balanced symmetry. This shift allows for smoother, more cohesive looks that seamlessly integrate into everyday life. Rather than making silhouettes the focal point, Takahashi layers garments with bold colors like red and striking prints to create depth and dimension. Accessories such as tote bags, puffer jackets, sunglasses, beanies, and baseball hats serve as subtle nods to everyday activities. This utilitarian approach is ideal for those looking to start experimenting with fashion.

Adidas x Willy Chavarria

Willy Chavarria’s third collaboration with Adidas made its debut at the brand’s ”HURON” show during this fashion week. The collection delves into the theme of fashion in a world marked by uncertainty. Drawing inspiration from his childhood in Huron, California, Chavarria infuses playful yet refined tailoring into the designs. In this collaboration, the designer seamlessly merges high fashion with global street culture, featuring cotton-based uniforms paired with matching sneakers. New running models, the Megaride AG and Megaride AG XL, also made their debut, blending streetwear aesthetics with cutting-edge technology and fashion.

Hermès — Summer in the City

Véronique Nichanian presented “Summer in the City” for her spring/summer menswear collection, focusing on breathable, flowy fabrics in soft neutral tones, accented by occasional pops of green. The tailoring emphasizes effortless refinement, highlighting the natural silhouette of the body rather than attempting to create a different shape. Breaking away from the conventional, leather t-shirts with stitched embroidery along the sleeves stand out as bold innovations. Fringed scarf collars in washed silks offer a perfect finishing touch to elevate any outfit.

Maison Mihara Yasuhiro — Ordinary People 

For this collection, Yashiro explores the duality of human nature. Over the years, he observed how personal style is often tied to clothing—how, with just a glance, one can gauge a person’s identity. However, as time passed, the fashion industry became increasingly superficial and frivolous, leaving fashion feeling disingenuous. In “Ordinary People”, Yashiro returns to his outerwear roots, drawing inspiration from the “abrupt and meaningless combinations of clothing.” This results in pieces like four-sleeved coats and garments with switched front-and-back elements. The collection offers a variety of choices, from sleeveless to long-sleeved or short-sleeved options. Rather than letting clothes dictate how to wear them, the decision is left up to the wearer. Versatile materials and layering techniques add depth to otherwise “ordinary” garments. Throughout the collection, graffiti-like graphics by Navinder Nanglas break away from minimalism, encouraging us to once again choose the graphic that best represents our individual identity.

Jacquemus — Le Paysan

Jacquemus, renowned for his imaginative show locations, has truly outdone himself by presenting “Le Paysan” at the L’Orangerie du Château de Versailles. Surrounded by fruits, vegetables, and trees, the collection takes us back to the designer’s rural roots, evoking a sense of growth and nostalgia from childhood. This collection serves as a love letter to the people who shaped his youth. The simplicity of cropped jackets, wide-legged trousers, striped motifs, and espadrilles transport us to those carefree summer days. With trompe l’œil fruit and vegetable accessories, Jacquemus rejects the digital age, instead inspiring us to reconnect with the natural world around us.

Thom Browne — Summer Curriculum

Summer Curriculum by Thom Browne reimagines the brand’s most iconic silhouettes. For this summer collection, the designer expands the color palette to seven hues: grey, deep navy, white, sky blue, light pink, buttery yellow, and green. This broader range allows you to choose a color that best reflects your personality, whether you lean toward classic or more trendy shades. Cotton piqué woven in a textured honeycomb knit for polos and tees offers a refined take on sportswear staples. This reimagining by Thome Browne strikes a perfect balance between delicacy and structure.

KidSuper — Superhero

KidSuper, or Colm Dillane, unveiled his superhero sculpture as part of Mercedes-Benz’s Class of Creators (CLA) initiative. The piece was revealed at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in the Louvre Museum during KidSuper’s spring/summer show. Each creator was given the keys to a Mercedes-Benz CLA, with limitless possibilities to explore. Dillane transformed his vision into a “superhero car,” adding turbine wings, balloon details, a rally-style roof rack, and a slingshot—evoking the imaginative creations every child once dreamed up. Alongside the CLA art piece, a limited capsule collection of 13 pieces was released. Combining tailoring, leisurewear, mechanic Americana, and retro touches, the collection reminds us to embrace playfulness and take risks, just like we did as kids.
