Our first times are always special — as were the debut collections at Dior, Louis Vuitton and Jacquemus.

From&nbsp;Jacquemus&#39;s first menswear&nbsp;collection that we&#39;ve been anticipating for months to&nbsp;Kim Jones&#39;s debut for Dior Homme, there were many noteworthy firsts at the recently concluded&nbsp;Paris Men&#39;s Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2019. Here&#39;s a wrap-up of the most&nbsp;dazzling moments of them all:

Artistic Director Kim Jones and jewellery designer Yoon Ahn stunned everyone with their romantic, floral-filled debut collection at Dior Homme.

The designer duo with a strong luxury streetwear background did&nbsp;a street-infused collection for the French fashion house, but with the same sophistication that we&#39;ve&nbsp;always adored&nbsp;Dior for.

If you take a closer look,&nbsp;those embellished shirts, embroidered&nbsp;tulle and new&nbsp;Tailleur Oblique jackets&nbsp;nod to Dior&#39;s haute couture roots and the Atelier&#39;s excellent craftsmanship.

Add to that an exclusive collaboration with KAWS, and the collection is&nbsp;a full 10/10.

Jacquemus&#39; first men&#39;s collection, &quot;Le Gadjo&quot;

Four months after announcing the launch of&nbsp;Jacquemus Homme, fashion darling and French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus&nbsp;finally unveiled his first menswear collection, titled&nbsp;Le Gadjo&nbsp;(which refers to a&nbsp;non-Gypsy boy).

Staying loyal to&nbsp;his love for the&nbsp;Mediterranean Coast, the debut show took place at&nbsp;Marseille, a sunny town&nbsp;in southern France that was&nbsp;the key inspiration for the collection.

As with his other collections, Jacquemus&#39; menswear debut was well-received for its offerings of&nbsp;luxurious athletic wear&nbsp;and breezy blazer sets. There&#39;s even more good news for&nbsp;Jacquemus&nbsp;fans: the Le Gadjo collection will be available on <a href="https://www.ssense.com" target="_blank">Ssense.co</a><a href="https://www.ssense.com/en-us/editorial/fashion/simon-le-gadjo-jacquemus-makes-its-menswear-debut" target="_blank">m</a> in just a few weeks.

Maison Margiela&#39;s couture for men

The Artisanal Men&#39;s&nbsp;Collection, a first for Maison Margiela, showed us a glimpse of a new kind of menswear &mdash; one designed with haute couture in mind.

Using traditional materials and silhouettes from women&#39;s haute&nbsp;couture, the collection highlighted the use of organza, chiffon, vinyl and&nbsp;patent leather; as well as corsetry, embroidery, cape cut&nbsp;and kimonos.

In the coinciding podcast series <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/maison-margiela-launches-podcast-featuring-john-galliano" target="_blank">The Memory of... With John Galliano</a>, the designer talked us through his idea to blur gender stereotypes in uniforms,&nbsp;his obsession with the bias cut and the story behind this collection.

&quot;We&#39;re the world,&quot; said Abloh,&nbsp;Louis Vuitton&#39;s first African-American Artistic Director, at his debut menswear show for&nbsp;Spring/Summer 2019. The designer set his show on a rainbow-hued runway outside the Palais-Royale, which was dedicated to everyone &mdash; regardless of identity, nationality and race.

And, like anything Virgil-related,&nbsp;the show played host to dozens of&nbsp;Hollywood A-Listers including Kanye West, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Naomi Campbell and Bella Hadid.

The designer had also invited a total of three thousand local art students to his show, which was a first for the Maison&nbsp;that he now helms.

A fan of this&nbsp;collection or not, it&#39;s Virgil&#39;s humble, open-minded spirit and his determination to reach ambitious goals while starting&nbsp;from zero that is worthy of our admiration.
