Men's Paris Fashion Week started yesterday, which means it's time to dissect all the new and experimental fashion looks from our couches. Like, for example, the double-denim ensembles Rihanna and A$AP Rocky wore to the Louis Vuitton show yesterday.
Look, I've said this before and I'll say it again: I like Canadian tuxedos. There's not much else that can top 'em.

I don't even want to know how much all of this costs.
Anyways, the man behind it all is Pharrell Williams, but if you told me this was a glitching hologram, I'd believe you.
And no, this was not a collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Minecraft — it was Pharrell's first show as creative director. And apparently he was actually inspired by LV's signature Damier print, which you've probably seen clutched by the rich and famous:
And here's the Minecraft — I mean, reimagined Damier prints — on the runway:
Look, it's pretty cool, but after surviving the era of galaxy leggings, I'm not sure if I'm fully ready for full Minecraft-core.
Anyhoo, if this becomes a trend, I'll be leaving it to the experts. But let me know if I'm missing something, other than a few pixels, in the comments below!
