PARIS-- Cultural combinations mixing Eastern and Western dress hit Paris Fashion Weeks menswear reveals on their last day. Japanese it-brand Sacai's designer Chitose Abe is renowned for combining diverse aspects into singular, appealing pieces, making them look like something from the front and another from the back. Twists appeared throughout her Sunday show. Pleats-- as seen on white, red carpet tuxedo t-shirts-- were creatively reimagined as rippling white floppy tubular skirts and white boho toggle tops. Madame Woo of Wooyoungmi continued to blend conventional elements with a modern, open-minded view of culture.
