Trend Report: Shades of Maroon

January 23, 2012


For a hue that has long been considered dowdy and dour, maroon has made a major resurgence at the recent Paris menswear shows. Kim Jones worked the color into overblown outerwear for his his second collection as designer of Louis Vuitton (above right). In shades with heathery grey inflections and deep chocolatey undertones, maroon was spotted at Kenzo (above left), Acne, Agnes b. and Christophe Lemaire.
