Paris Haute Couture for men by Didit Hediprasetyo

Didit Hediprasetyo's collection at the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week was mainly womens but he did throw in a few mens designs. Well not exactly 'throw in', as these are well tailored precious pieces.

Paris based but Indonesian born Didit combines the best of both these cultures in to his creations.

The inspiration came from orchids in the twilight.

Main colour palette: shades of purple representing the transition of night to dusk to morning with deep purple, dusky lavender and the pale lilac.

Prints were a collaboration with Calla Haynes – patterns of orchids on soft velvets.
