Paris menswear shows: highlights from day five

Lanvin

Lucas Ossendrijver mixed up clean modernist shapes with cut-off jagged edges and wild patterns. His brightly colored pinstriped pieces were paired with winged sneakers and fur and ponyskin used as a kind of punky panelled decoration. The collection closed with a series of pieces featuring human hand and face motifs.

Agnès B

The Parisian designer seemed to showed three separate collections, starting with a sort of ghoulish Victoriana vibe with models in washed-out white face paint and spats, cravats and frock coats. The show soon settled into her usual mix of easy casualwear pieces and relaxed suiting, before finishing with sharp, dark eveningwear which included a digital-print skirt.

Paul Smith 

The 70-year-old designer’s show was held under the giant glass dome of the Paris Bourse de Commerce, with models walking on a giant patchwork of Turkish carpets. He relaxed the silhouette this season, with some covetable leather loungewear trousers (could this be the moment they go mainstream?), flamingo sweaters, and coats inspired by a mix of musical notes and carpet weaving patterns.
