rebel yell–with or without a mask on, at qasimi all the boys are rebels with a cause; they are all enrolled under the same banner but they belong to different brigades : urban guerillas in combat gear for christopher wetmore, army of lovers in camouflage-style prints for yuri pleskun, legionnaires in orange for david agbodji, paratroopers in jumpsuits for johnny george, officers in immaculate shirts for robin ahrens …

on this third day chasing models in an exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ story at the men’s paris fashion week castings for the fashionisto my plans (probably too ambitious) were to cover 7 castings, but because of the weather (and the fact that unlike lots of the guys i’ve seen today i’m not crazy about the idea of walking in the rain in a t-shirt) i have to admit that i couldn’t manage more than 4 !
making it through the raindrops between qasimi, paul & joe, damir doma and boris bidjan saberi, i found and caught more valuable preys which include today more runway & editorial stars such as yuri pleskun, cole mohr, leebo freeman, lyle lodwick, adrian cardoso, jakob wiechmann, david agbodji, roger frampton, peter bruder, jake cooper, corey baptiste etc, and fresh new faces like leopold nilsson, shane gambill, sen mitsuji, joe ingham or alex wells …

Qasimi’s fall collection follows the journey of a futuristic adolescent coming into his own with a little chaos thrown into the mix. Looking to a tough exterior of quilted outerwear to combat the problems of the world, Qasimi’s hero takes comfort in the soft attributes of shapely knits. Embracing tribal undertones, Qasimi’s latest lineup comes together with a marriage of functional garments and adventurous forms.

Rounding out the runway shows of Paris Fashion Week, the boys of Qasimi Homme took to the catwalk donning headbands and a brave face for quite the parade of modern warriors. Entitled The Empty Quarter, spring’s collection was inspired by Khalid Al Qasimi’s Middle Eastern background. Therefore, embracing the popular tale of East meets West, the collection married elements of both aesthetics for a smart outing. Progressed by a subtle military motif and dressed in hues of gray and brown, The Empty Quarter charmed with a sleek billing of unlined jackets, sleeveless vests and other noteworthy pieces.


Relatively new label Qasimi offers their man a boxy fall season with a deconstruction of the classic suit. Blending luxury with an urban appeal, sleek v-necklines are paired with knits, while chunky, voluminous knits double as outerwear. Meanwhile a larger upper proportion is balanced with fitted pants and sleek combat boots. Altogether, Qasimi creative director H.H. Khalid bin Sultan AlQasimi’s attractive fall showing reflects an unwavering flirtation with luxury and modernity.
