The men’s grooming trends that shaped the Paris Fashion Week S/S 2015 shows

Haider Ackermann: Hair was gently slicked back, or carefully ruffled to match Ackermann's languid silks and relaxed tailoring for S/S 2015, while skin was left dewy to reflect the show venue's early evening sun

Dries Van Noten: The Belgian designer envisaged a more 'sensual' Van Noten man for S/S 2015, his inspiration drawn from Soviet-born ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev. As a result, the season's grooming look resembled a man who had just finished rehearsal. Cue softly flushed pink cheeks giving the impression of exertion, and gently tousled hair suggesting movement

Cerruti 1881: Inspired by a recent trip to California, Aldo Maria Camillo took a more relaxed approach to dressing for S/S 2015. This was similarly reflected in the grooming that saw Matt Mulhall offering up wet-look hair, as Karim Rahman prepped the skin to be neither too tanned, nor pale, instead alluding to the light touch of the West Coast sun

Raf Simons: In a show that was a tender revisiting of some of Simons' most valued memories, the season's youthful casting left little work for Peter Phillips when it came to the models' fresh, clear skin. Hair on the other hand was greased, and left long, with delicate extensions falling casually over the face. The effect recalled Simons' own long hair era, documented by a teenage passport photo of the designer that was pinned to the back of one of his jackets

Kris Van Assche: Reaching ten years of his eponymous label, Kris Van Assche's S/S 2015 collection was both a celebration of the past and a glimpse into his future. The show's grooming, however, was entirely dedicated to youth. Gina Van Den Bergh left a heavy shine on the high points of the face, whilst Anthony Turner pulled the models' straightened hair forward as fringes, adding some texture in the back, to reduce any heaviness as hair fell over their eyes

Givenchy: Riccardo Tisci showed both men's and women's looks on the runway this season, leaving stylist Luigi Murenu to bring coherence to the hair line-up by utilising sheer, black unisex skullcaps. Pat McGrath left the models' skin clear, merely adding a light sheen, while brushing brows upwards to keep the look strong

Louis Vuitton: Kim Jones journeyed to India, his exotic travels also inspiring make-up maestro Peter Phillips' approach. As a result, the artist brought a warmth to the skin, leaving it sun-kissed with a gentle glow. Guido Palau in turn smoothed hair into neat side-partings that weren't heavy on product or fuss

Rick Owens: The American designer's collection was inspired by a mischievous faun. To reflect the mythology theme, hair was artfully slicked back and held in place with plenty of gel - the shape's pointed sweep almost mimicking the ears of a mystical animal. Skin was left mostly bare, save for a few looks, which saw Lucia Pieroni use full body make-up to paint models in Owens' new pastel palette

Lanvin: The S/S 2015 Lanvin man is on the move with designer Lucas Ossendrijver contemplating how men travel around a city. For Guido Palau and Houda Remita this meant a grooming look that was quick and fuss free. Hair was not overly styled, looking freshly washed with a little product to hold it in place, while skin was moisturised and powdered
