CARVEN, artistic director Guillaume Henry, presented its 2014-15 Autumn/Winter men's collection at the Beaux-Arts (National School of Fine Arts). Models walked down a pool bar-themed runway, complete with billiard tables. Drawing inspiration from early 20th-century gangsters, the collection cleverly incorporated various motifs associated with them. Many striking pieces were on display, including sweatshirts printed with mugshots (police montages of criminals) and jackets printed with graffiti from jail cells and bar basements. A particularly humorous drawing of a man locked in a barrel (lynched) was used as a motif on jacquard knit pullovers and frequently featured as a decorative embroidery accent on cut-and-sew items.

The colors are mainly sepia and monochrome, based on the image of photographs from that time, but blue and pink are also used as accent colors, creating a beautiful color variation overall. By overturning the image of a good student and showing bad boy elements, but sublimating them with humor, it depicts the same elegance as Carven has always shown.
