Men's fashion: Paris menswear week extended to six days

As New York sees some of its biggest designers leave the city for other fashion capitals, Paris is extending its Men's Fashion Week from five days in January 2017 to six in 2018. This year, the menswear shows kick off Tuesday, January 16 -- with various new arrivals -- before ending January 21, according to the provisional schedule released by French fashion's governing body, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode.

The opening day of Paris Men's Fashion Week brings collections from three new additions to the Parisian schedule: Palomo Spain, Parisian label Nïuku and the GmbH collective. Although usually a staple of the British capital, Dunhill London will present its latest collection in Paris this season, on the final day of menswear week, January 21.

As announced earlier in December, Balenciaga isn't on the French capital's menswear schedule this season. The label has decided to stage a coed show for menswear and womenswear in March, at Paris's womenswear Fashion Week.

Vetements -- the label founded by Demna Gvasalia -- has announced plans to stage a show during Paris Men's Fashion Week this season. However, the label does not currently feature on the official schedule.
