Paris Menswear S/S13: Thierry Mugler

It seems Paris will remain infatuated with the shrunk-to-fit trend of late, as the silhouette seen so far this week has been fitted so close to the body I can't imagine how these male models manage to strut. But then again, I am no six-foot twink (haven't I said that before?). Nicola Formichetti's collection this season boasted a new sense of power dressing; the sharply tailored blazers were given a vicar collar, while his thigh-skimming shorts got a kind of reverse-mullet-effect with asymmetrical panels cascading down the sides. It's a little out there, but even so the lines were crisp and clean. The waist-long bib I thought a bit unnecessary but apart from that, I thought the clothes looked great- minimalist but with an extra oopmh.
