Paris Men's Fashion: Wild Hair & Unsettling Makeup Steal Show

Paris Men's Spring 2027 runways showcased a departure from subdued fashion with daring beauty statements. At Comme des Garçons Homme Plus, hairstylist Takeo Arai crafted unique hairstyles entirely by hand, using long strands of fabric as a novel replacement for human hair.

Further creative expression was seen at the Comme des Garçons Shirt show, where Arai designed colorful, gravity-defying coifs to convey dynamic energy. Tomihiro Kono for Kiko Kostadinov drew inspiration from Black hairstyles and hip-hop culture, using rubber bands on short hair to create graphic lines without cutting.

For Jeanne Friot's "Hysteria"-themed show, makeup artist Florence Teerlinck aimed for an unsettling yet beautiful aesthetic. This was achieved with hand-painted white lashes, pink contact lenses, and bands of color across the eyes and nose, all applied with waterproof products due to a heatwave.

Sean Suen's models displayed windswept hair adorned with butterflies, symbolizing transformation and freedom. Other shows like Rick Owens and Dries Van Noten also featured unconventional grooming, with headpieces appearing as extensions of the hair, pushing the boundaries of men's beauty.
