Glass Cypress Men’s Fall 2026 Runway, Fashion Show & Collection Review

For their first Paris show, Samee and Saber Ahmed considered every detail, choosing the spare and elegant Ogata restaurant in the Marais as their venue, and taking the time to write an engraved note to guests, thanking them for their attendance. They even put a pen, and another cream engraved card, on guests’ seats, asking them to write down their opinions, post-show.

What sensitive guys these Texan brothers are, so it’s no surprise their collection had a darkly romantic feel, with billowing poet’s blouses, cravats and textured neckties. The long, dark swooshing topcoats were made for dramatic flourishes.

It’s clear these brothers come from a generation weaned on the “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” franchises, and chose the models to suit their aesthetic. One of them — tall and lean with a buzz cut — channeled Lord Voldemort in his long, dark coat.

The collection was heavy on drama, but then again so are its fans, who include Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Drake and G-Dragon, men who are used to showing off on stage. “That green shirt has my name on it!” said one animated front-row guest, referring to a poet’s blouse in faded olive, complete with cravat.

The knots and cravats were just the beginning. The brothers, who founded the label a decade ago, are known for their attention to detail, artisanal work and use of South Asian techniques such as nakshi kantha embroidery and traditional dyeing, quilting and construction.

There was so much here to see, from the tight folds and twists on neckties and jacket collars, to the seams on shirts which were split open to reveal spiderweb-like stitching, to the unexpected colorful quilting on the hem of a long, dark coat.

It’s no mean feat making the trek from Texas to Paris, the most sophisticated and competitive city in the world when it comes to menswear, but the brothers stood up to the challenge, and hopefully they’ll bring their distinctive brand of romance back to the city in June.
