At the show, models wore pleated tops, trousers, and shorts, often in bold, saturated colors such as blue, yellow and pink, and carried knapsacks or bags.

The pace then quickened, as the men ran, spun air-bound, kicked balls and danced. More patterns infused looks, such as a light blue, yellow, black-and-white checkered top-and-shorts combination, and green, black and white kimono-style wafting jacket.

The Zalindê female percussion troupe joined in the fray, just before dances around maypoles started. The weaving of ribbons and garments caused a centrifuge of color and gave a feeling of joy, successfully channeling what’s meant to be in the brand’s spirit.

Homme Plissé was established that year as a masculine counterpart to Pleats Please for women. The men’s clothing is designed to be easy — light and comfortable, with uniform pleats to keep the fabric from sticking too closely to the skin.
