Men's Spring-Summer 2023 Show
Stage
Like a magnified playground, a giant children’s toy racetrack erected in the Cour Carrée of the Louvre becomes a yellow brick road for the imagination: an evolutionary path for the mind where childlike fantasies come to life.

Highlights
Under the premise that toys are tools for the imagination, the collection reflects the transition from childlike naïveté to grown-up refinement. Elevating childhood symbols through the Maison’s savoir-faire, oversized and shrunken silhouettes play with the idea of a wardrobe yet to be grown-into or already outgrown. Iconography native to the playground is found throughout: origami paper planes, building block beading, modeling clay textures, cartoon prints, and sandbox tool embellishments.
The Marching 100
From the cinematic prelude to the runway show, leading the parade is The Marching 100, who introduce unifying feelings of joy through their unique display of pageantry. Founded in 1946, the Tallahassee-based marching band from Florida A&M University sets the tone for the presentation, cheering on the Men’s collection with an exclusive musical arrangement.
