The menswear fashion weeks in Milan and Paris are just perfect for men to show off their bold dressing.

While the runways are intended to be a focus, often, celebrities and other front-row guests draw attention instead.

Malaysian artistes like Alvin Chong and Hael Husaini made their fashion week rounds.

Chong was seen at the presentations of Gucci, Fendi, Prada, Tod’s, Dolce & Gabbana, MSGM and Moschino.

Hael made an appearance for Zegna, Emporio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Moschino.

It shows that the Asian influence is currently at its strongest. Celebrities from China, South Korea and Thailand were also among the star-studded guests during the week.

Fellow actor Colman Domingo really pushed boundaries with his look. He paired a suit jacket and waist coat with flared denim shorts.
