A Dedicated Sies Marjan Menswear Collection Is Coming

It’s official: Sies Marjan will host its first dedicated menswear show in Paris this June. “We are eager to continue the evolution of this category, which has been a success since its launch,” designer Sander Lak exclusively tells Vogue. “I am confident that now is the time for Sies Marjan to debut a men’s show.”

Now seven seasons in, Sies Marjan has become an international success and New York Fashion Week highlight thanks to Lak’s bold use of colour, innovative textures and easy silhouettes. “Menswear comes naturally to me, as I was originally trained as a menswear designer, so it feels like I’m going back to my roots,” says Lak.

To date, his menswear pieces have been woven into the women’s ready-to-wear shows, but the demand was such that the Dutch designer launched a capsule menswear collection for AW18. June’s show will be Lak’s first dedicated menswear show and his debut at Paris.

A number of looks will be available to purchase immediately following the show, with further styles landing in store in November. Prior to launching his own brand in 2016, Lak – a Central Saint Martins graduate – cut his teeth at Dries Van Noten in Antwerp, Balmain in Paris and Phillip Lim in New York.
