Political protest, art, exotic travel color Paris menswear

Designer Kim Jones traveled around the world in his indigo-rich show, merging styles as diverse Thai tribal dress, South East Asian national costumes, American Ivy League prep and U.S. baseball.

A satin sweatshirt featured Asiatic embroidered cranes, track pants and boxers came in embroidered silk, high-waisted '50s pants were made from blue-gray mohair and silk, and sun-dried Kobi leathers were cut to the shape of American flight jackets.

A male model known as Jera created an protest midway through Rick Owens' show, holding up a confusing handwritten banner on a white piece of canvass that read: "Please Kill Angela Merkel — Not."

The fashion house distanced itself from the protester in a statement: "the act of protest by a model at the Spring Summer 2016 show... was an independent statement and does not reflect the opinion of the house of Rick Owens."

Taking studded jackets with plackets from the days of the Vietnam War, the U.S. designer created aggressive-looking slim fitting jerkins in distressed gray-and-black with white trim that were paired with black military boots and bare legs.

Van Noten became a fly on the wall of an imaginary chat between Salvador Dali and actress Marilyn Monroe for his collection — incorporating references from the Spanish artist, the blond bombshell, as well as icons associated with them.

Monroe's face appeared on printed silk shirts, with her famed red lips figuratively fluttering around bomber jackets, wide satin pajamas and sheer silk shirts.
