At the 2016 Spring/Summer Men's Paris Collection, American casual style was especially prominent, especially at shows by major brands. The stadium jacket was a key item. Louis Vuitton presented a number of embroidered silk blousons inspired by the Japanese sukajan, the ancestor of the stadium jacket, and Valentino offered a similarly sukajan-style patchwork leather blouson. Brands emphasizing casual, casual pieces stood out. Elements of the stadium jacket were also seen in Dries Van Noten's collection, many of which featured photos of Marilyn Monroe. At the same time, American casual designs evoked Hawaiian and Californian influences. Valentino featured pineapples, Dries Van Noten incorporated Hawaiian motifs inspired by Elvis Presley, and Saint Laurent presented stadium jackets decorated with palm tree motifs in a collection inspired by Californian surf music. Louis Vuitton, mentioned above, also made extensive use of Asian motifs like cranes and dragons, while also incorporating elements of Ivy League and basketball uniforms to create a strong American image. Perhaps the pursuit of simple items in pursuit of wearable high fashion led to the arrival of American casual, which is easy to create an image of. With the current trend of cutting-edge design seemingly exhausted, people are increasingly seeking staples and timeless classics, and it could be said that American casual emerged in the midst of this trend toward post-trend trends.
