Black Boy Joy at Paris Fashion Week

Well, it’s the finale of Paris Fashion Week Men’s F/W 23. It was a week of fashion debuts, brilliant collections and trends and lots of celebrity visits. Street style, first-rate images, behind-the-scenes photocalls. From Law Roach and Tyga sitting front row at Louis Vuitton to a star-studded backstage photoshoot at Givenchy (see: Polo G, Duckwrth), the black boy’s joy was ever-present. Some of our favorite singers, rappers, actors, style superstars and pop culture bodies showed the impact of black style and the importance of representation.

This past week, one of the most visible faces was none other than Usher Raymond. From the front row at Wales Bonner and an appearance at Louis Vuitton to backstage at AMI, the RnB legend was everywhere (complete with a new orange hair color). Emily in Paris star Lucien Laviscount was also the talk of the town. He riled up the crowd in front of Louis Vuitton (dressed head to toe in LV), climbed atop a car and excited the masses.

Ahead, check out all the black boys’ joy from the men’s fashion shows in Paris.
