In June 2018, GQ’s global editorial director, Will Welch, called DJ Acyde. Paris Men’s Fashion Week is almost over, and the energy in the City of Lights is ticking. Virgil Abloh has just debuted at Louis Vuitton, and Kim Jones has launched her first collection for Dior Men’s. A host of PFW rookies have followed their own epic shows. The message is clear: menswear is the most exciting thing in fashion. So GQ took over L’Avenue that Friday night for a house party, featuring a monster set up by Acyde (consisting of a late-night duo alongside Virgil himself) and emotions. nice of the biggest stars of the week. Every season since we’ve been in Paris, we call Acyde and Tremaine Emory and shut down L’Avenue for a Friday night out with our expanding Parisian community. This time, the night started with DJ Honey’s choreography before Acyde and Tremaine were behind the deck. Tremaine, the founder of Denim Tears, teamed up with Levi’s to design a Levi’s x Denim Tears truck-specific jacket for the event. Only 250 pieces were made and they were made by guests such as Victor Cruz, Matt Healy, Luka Sabbat, Lil Dre, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Ghali, Noah Beck, Westside Gunn and many other GQ friends and collaborators. Scroll down to tap the scene and peek at the custom jacket; If you see someone wearing one out in the wild, you know how they ended this season’s Paris Fashion Week.
