Matthew M. Williams, the American designer known for his work with 1017 ALYX 9SM and Givenchy, is set to debut his new namesake clothing brand during Paris Men’s Fashion Week for the Spring/Summer 2026 season.
The launch marks Williams’ return to independent design following his tenure as creative director at Givenchy, which concluded at the beginning of 2024. His new collection will be showcased at the Seiya Nakamura showroom in Paris, a venue known for featuring both established and emerging designers.
Williams’ design aesthetic often blends utilitarian elements with modern tailoring, a style he developed through his previous collaborations with brands like Nike, Dior, and Moncler. The upcoming collection is expected to reflect this signature approach, offering both men’s and women’s pieces that emphasize functionality and innovation.
Paris Men’s Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2026 is scheduled to run from June 24 to June 29, 2025. The event serves as a prominent platform for designers to present their latest work, and Williams’ new venture is anticipated to draw significant attention from the fashion industry.
