A$AP Rocky, Virgil Abloh, Bella Hadid, Kid Cudi and More Party with GQ at Paris Fashion Week

“You should probably fact-check this but as far as I’m concerned this is the most urgently anticipated week in the history of the men’s fashion shows," says GQ creative director Will Welch about the lineup of menswear runway shows happening right now in the City of Light. No calendar in recent memory has been as stacked with unique creatives poised to reset how guys everywhere get dressed like Spring/Summer 2019. There are big new names and big old houses (Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton, Kim Jones at Dior). There are wildly talented #PFW rookies showing for the first time here (see: Alyx's Matthew Williams). And there are truckloads of new threads, cross-bodybags, and big chunky kicks they've all designed to get excited about going broke for in six months' time. To celebrate this monumental Parisian menswear moment, we threw a house party—and by "house" we mean one of the city's most well-known spots—last night. "Coming off of Virgil’s Louis Vuitton debut on Thursday and heading into Kim Jones’s Dior debut on Saturday, we decided to throw an impromptu party Friday night to try to gather some of the awesome energy we’re all feeling over here. So I called up Acyde, and Alex from L’Avenue, and then we just texted people to come by and hang. There’s a lot to celebrate in menswear right now, so that’s what we did.”
