Embroidery is a historic mainstay of traditional clothing in Asia or the Middle East, as well as Western haute couture, but it is increasingly present in Paris, Milan or New York on modern men’s shirts, bomber jackets or blazers. At Men’s Fashion Week in Paris on Thursday, New Delhi-based Kartik Research put on its second show, having joined the world’s most prestigious style calendar for the first time last year with its modern take on traditional fabrics and crafts. A model walks the catwalk in an embroidered outfit from Kartik Research for the Menswear Ready-to-wear Fall-Winter 2026/2027 collection as part of the Paris Men’s Fashion Week on Thursday. Embroidery appears to be on the same route as handbags and jewellery, which have entered men’s fashion over the past few years and blurred the industry’s traditional gender lines. “Guys are looking for something different,” said Kher, who was showcasing his Fall/Winter collection in Paris during Fashion Week.
