Vincent Cassel, unexpected star of Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week is one of the unmissable events in June for the luxury male consumer. From Wednesday to next Sunday, the main men's fashion firms present their proposals for the upcoming Spring/Summer season in this fashion capital, thus defining how men will dress next year.

The checkerboard pattern of the first Pharrel Williams collection for Louis Vuitton, the transparencies of Dries Van Noten and the neon tones of Dior Man and Givenchy, are just some of the fashion notes left by the early days of the French catwalk. However, among them also stands out the appearance of well-known faces from the big screen, who jump from the front row to the catwalk. One of them has been Vincent Cassel.

The 56-year-old American actor is working on the set of the new David Cronenberg film, for many the king of gore, The Shroulds. In fact, as he explains on his official Instagram account, the filming would have already finished and therefore the promotion of the film will begin shortly. And what better way to publicize his new project than to make a stellar appearance on the French media catwalk.

It was during the S/S 2023 collection show by designer Alexander Mattiussi, AMI, on the third day of Paris Fashion Week. Cassel took all the media spotlight as he closed the show, dressed in a basic black T-shirt, pinstriped pants and a fine black coat.

Although he is not a regular on the catwalks, Vincent Cassel is closely linked to the fashion industry and has starred numerous times in campaigns for high-end brands, such as The Kooples or Audemars Piguet.
