At Paris' men's fashion week, Jean Paul Gaultier was one of the designers to watch. Always a fan of tougher, edgier looks, his Paris show had British traditional mixed with punk and mod pieces; the collection was a mix of plaids, pinstripes with punk references.

Classic outerwear came out on the runways with hints of bondage; a chesterfield coat with leather lapels and a duffel with chains in lieu of toggles were showcased. Trench coats had harnesses and suit trousers were lashed with bondage straps. But, here's a tip for guys: when wearing these pieces day to day, you might want to remove anything that says "bondage" before going to work. Just a thought.

Actress Chloe Sevigny announced last week that she will launch a men's unisex line. Yes...a men's unisex line.

So, I can wear my boyfriend's jeans and they won't be as baggy, because they're also made to fit women? We can mix and match menswear vests? Sevigny told Women's Wear Daily she will showcase the line in Paris. Lots of the pieces will have "girl versions," she said, smaller sizes but not different tailoring. Ah, that's where the unisex part comes in.

"It's skinny, chain-y, stud-y," she told the website. "Not only did I want to do something for the guys in my life, but a lot of my girlfriends prefer to wear men's stuff."

COLETTE POPS UP

Louis Vuitton started the pop up concept this year with the pop up Vuitton stores within Japanese artist Murakami’s art installations, with the stores featuring bags by the artist. Well it has caught on and now Colette will have a pop up mini store in New York City this summer on Fifth Avenue at 54th Street. The store will be set up for one month from September 6 through October 5. Colette, as you know (and again a fashion shame on you if you do not) is the hip, chic Parisian behemoth at 213 rue Saint-Honoré which carries all of the cutting edge labels and luxury designers that any fashionista, tourista and Lou Doillon wanna be could not live without. Much to the chagrin of Parisians, Colette will temporarily close its store for massive renovations starting July 7th, with an anticipated reopening by the end of August. Don’t be to upset though if you are in Paris and want to shop there, they will have a Suprette parked out front so you can still get your shop on.
