John Lobb: The British shoemaker presented its A/W 2020 offering in a lavish Parisian apartment where set designer Thomas Petherick created two unique display rooms. Guests peeped through a view finder to see a Penrose triangle displaying the brands classic ‘William’ double monk strap shoe - originally designed for the companies grandson and celebrating it 75th anniversary this season. In another mirror walled room the same style sat amongst blue and white balls.

Kiko Kostadinov: The Bulgarian London-based designer moved his show from London to Paris this season. Overcoats and gilets appeared with exaggerated shawl collars, while trousers and jackets came with curved multiple zips allowing the wearer to adapt how they’re worn. Elsewhere, structured jersey tops featured built shoulders, others came with keyhole harness. Debuting was Kiko’s first standalone footwear collection featuring a lace-up shooter shoe and clog built on a Vibram sole.

Dries Van Noten: In a vast concrete industrial space, models stomped in glam rock platformboots to a soundtrack of panting breath. The mood was dressed up - a floral devoré shirt came layered with a snug tartan bomber and faux fur stole thrown over the shoulders. Elsewhere, a deep purple velvet military jacket was cinched at the waist and teamed with faded blue jeans, while a louche knitted jumper came with a crystal adorned collar and leopard print blazer had blown up proportions.

Editions MR: This season creative director Louis Wong looked to Romanticism for inspiration. Picture a Parisian existentialist dressed in a long beige coat nonchalantly thrown over a giant knitted roll neck, or a Nouvelle Vague actor wearing a neat corduroy suit. Elsewhere, the influence of New Romantic bands and there 80s wardrobes could be seen in generously cut blazers and trench coats. Blouson shirts worn with slim ties completed the look.

OAMC: Designer Luke Meier was thinking about strength and protection for A/W 2020. The silhouette was sharp and precise - heavy wool trousers, boxy tailored blazers and voluminous coats were worn with fluid shirts and exaggerated knits. Elsewhere, softly quilted military lining jackets and cargo pants were team together uniform-like. Small pouches were worn across the body with oversized straps, while padded leather totes were clutched at the wearers side. The brand continued its collaboration with Adidas Originals with the introduction of three new silhouettes.

Paco Rabanne: For his second menswear collection creative director Julien Dossena presented a series of elegantly fitted suits and glistening separates. Inspired by the 60s kinetic art movement and 90s minimalist design - a sharply cut black suit appeared from under a transparent caped coat, while a chainmail vest of the shimmering iridescent diamonds was worn over a sleek floral print shirt. Elsewhere, a long and lean brocade suit was teamed a skinny metallic knit roll neck, and a faux fur coat came with a snug helmet-like hood.
