LONDON — The Londoners are returning to Paris Men’s Fashion Week following a four-year hiatus.
The British Fashion Council has announced that the London show Rooms is partnering with Tranoï Men in January 2023 within the French capital city.
Rooms, a platform for emerging menswear talent, will happen from Jan. 19 to 22 on the Garage Amelot within the Marais district.
Some 17 designers, including Abigail Ajobi, Carlota Barrera and Charlie Constantinou will participate, showing their collections to international buyers and press.
The BFC began hosting Rooms in 2008 with a pop-up in Paris as a part of the organization’s support and mentoring schemes.
That is the primary time that Rooms has shown in Paris since June 2019. The showcase was placed on hold resulting from Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic.
However the BFC has been reactivating its programs and live shows post-pandemic.
In December, the BFC announced the provisional schedule for physical and digital London Fashion Week shows and presentations. The autumn 2023 showcase will happen from Feb. 17 to 23 and have womenswear and menswear designers.
Burberry will headline the autumn 2023 calendar because the British brand prepares for Daniel Lee’s debut for the home on Feb. 20.
Kicking off the show season will probably be Paul Costelloe on Feb. 17, followed by Fashion East, Edward Crutchley and Huishan Zhang.
BFC Newgen designer Sinéad O’Dwyer may even show on the day. She is a London-based Irish designer who has carved a distinct segment in popular culture, dressing the likes of Lara Stone, Paloma Elsesser, Björk, Arca and Precious Lee.
Richard Quinn is passing the last-show slot back to Burberry. He had been closing the showcase for the past few seasons. Riccardo Tisci had recently been showing collections outside the standard calendar.
Out of respect for Queen Elizabeth II, whose funeral coincided with London Fashion Week in September, Burberry staged its spring 2023 show after Paris Fashion Week on Sept. 26. It was Tisci’s swan song for the home.
The autumn 2023 calendar may even mark the return of cocktail parties and store events to commemorate the celebrations of London Fashion Week.
