Emerging US labels Bode and Phipps will stage their maiden shows at the event. Bode is a menswear line launched in 2016 by New York designer Emily Adams Bode, who uses old fabric cuts to create unique patchwork clothes, infused with a subtle, nostalgic vintage feel.
San Francisco-born Spencer Phipps launched his unisex label Phipps in Paris in January 2018, making sustainability its hallmark. A former menswear stylist at Dries Van Noten who also worked for Marc Jacobs, Phipps strives to create beautiful clothes in an environmentally friendly fashion.
Alongside Bode and Phipps, another US label Sies Marjan will stage its first show entirely dedicated to menswear in the French capital on June 22. The emerging label was launched in 2016 by Sander Lak, formerly with Dries Van Noten, and has already made a name for itself with women's ready-to-wear in New York.
