For Spring–Summer 2025 collection, Caleb Paris draws inspiration from the surf culture — through the textures, finishes, and fluid constructions it evokes. "Coastal Reverie is less about surfing, and more about what the ocean leaves behind: faded fabrics, sun-bleached seams, salt-washed memories. The collection captures this reverie through washed finishes, nautical-inspired cuts, and tactile contrasts between raw and refined.
The palette reflects this daydream: light blue, dusty khaki, light pink, ivory — sun-softened, wind-worn, and gently radiant. Coastal Reverie isn’t about the beach — it’s about the echo it leaves on the skin, the clothes, the spirit.
For the Pitti Uomo show, CHAPAL is paying tribute to the Flight Jacket and its evolution, with the iconic models such as A2, G1 and USAAF - a symbiosis of the US Air Force and US Navy jackets of World War II - reinterpreted in painted versions, without ribbing, in wool or denim, with Ascot's Father or Hudson Blue silk linings. The Brooklyn and Vegetal pieces will complete the collection, striking a balance between historical accuracy and contemporary style.
“I imagined a menswear wardrobe that brings back memories while always feeling up to date. A label with simple lines and quality materials that last overtime. Clothes that can be put on, used, infused with movements, personal stories, while connecting them to the ateliers that have made them, to the hands that have assembled them.
Clothing is closely linked to nature, to agriculture where the fibers stem from: the cotton and linen flowers, the thistles that were used to brush flannels, the wool from the sheep shorn by farmers. Some textile regions keep cultures of craftsmanship alive. They are often linked to their landscapes and the activities of their inhabitants, like wool in Brittany, close to the ocean, or wool and leather in the Tarn, in the Midi-Pyrenean. Paying a tribute to these local cultures of craftsmanship, highlighting « made by » without being limited to a country, is central to my philosophy.”

PAUL & JOE
Paul & Joe celebrates 30 years of creation — a story that began with menswear in 1995.
For this anniversary season, the Summer 2026 collection draws a gentle thread between memory and imagination, offering a wardrobe full of lightness, poetry, and quiet confidence. Inspired by 1920s–40s Japan: its ballet posters, symphonic invitations, and graceful visual language and by Britain from the 1960s to 1980s musical scene influence and its graphic charm, the collection weaves together two worlds that speak to a shared love of culture and expression. These references take shape through floral blossom prints, intarsia knits, and soft, figurative all-over patterns. Delicate bird embroideries bring a sense of movement and dreamlike escape, echoing the collection’s airy, almost surreal atmosphere. A house signature, English embroidery reappears on cotton voile shirts, offering a nod to Paul & Joe’s heritage and its enduring affection for craftsmanship.
