<\/p>\n
\n\tFor 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\u2019 seats, asking them to write down their opinions, post-show.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhat sensitive guys these Texan brothers are, so it\u2019s no surprise their collection had a darkly romantic feel, with billowing poet\u2019s blouses, cravats and textured neckties. The long, dark swooshing topcoats were made for dramatic flourishes. <\/p>\n
\n\tIt\u2019s clear these brothers come from a generation weaned on the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d and \u201cTwilight\u201d franchises, and chose the models to suit their aesthetic. One of them \u2014 tall and lean with a buzz cut \u2014 channeled Lord Voldemort in his long, dark coat.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe 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. \u201cThat green shirt has my name on it!\u201d said one animated front-row guest, referring to a poet\u2019s blouse in faded olive, complete with cravat.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe 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.<\/p>\n
\n\tThere 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. <\/p>\n
\n\tIt\u2019s 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\u2019ll bring their distinctive brand of romance back to the city in June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
