PARIS (AP) — Some Paris Fashion Week menswear shows have began for the fall-winter season as French virus restrictions have relegated many others to an online-only presence. Those brands that chose to maintain physical shows like AMI on Wednesday seem to be benefiting from a relative boost in coverage. The start of collections principally showcase emerging talents before big industry heavy hitters appear such as Dior, Louis Vuitton and Hermes. Tasteful and deceptively simple designs graced the Lemaire runway in a sublime collection. Cultural fusion and a melting-pot mentality were elemental for designer Anthony Alvarez as he staged his first on-calendar show for his fashion label Blue Marble.
