PARIS FASHION WEEK: KRIS VAN ASSCHE COLLECTION FALL/WINTER 2008/2009 MENSWEAR RUNWAY REVIEW

For Fall/Winter 2008-09 Kris Van Assche gave a collection of his favorites for his signature line.

His favorites turned out to be looks favored by many other men. Denim shirts, denim jackets, worn jeans, plaids (how surprising), cozy sweaters and blazers came down a washing machine lined runway.

Jumpsuits layered with jackets and vests over button-ups took care of the layered effect. The distressed faded denim he presented swung the pendulum from the neat, dark clean denim rage of the past few years.

Pieces ranges from a simple yellow sweater with a button shoulder opening to a gray knit vest-scarf hybrid with pockets that draped around the neck and came down the front of the body, one of our favorites.

Other standouts were the boots with diagonal slant zippers and metallic quilted coats.

The show ended with the models stripping of the duds and throwing them into the washing machines.

MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP.
