PARIS — Pierce Brosnan and Gary Oldman attended the Saint Laurent Paris show — not as celebrity actors but as proud and genuinely nervous parents.<\/p>\n

Their sons, Dylan Brosnan and Charlie Oldman made their runway modeling debuts in the show after being discovered by designer Hedi Slimane.<\/p>\n

Here are the highlights of the last day of Paris Menswear Week, including Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Paul Smith and Agnes B.<\/p>\n

PROUD PARENTS<\/strong>
\nOldman said he was jittery for his 16-year-old son Charlie before his modeling debut in Paris — after he was discovered at a music concert wearing an YSL jacket by the fashion house.<\/p>\n

“I’m a little nervous for Charlie. The Yves Saint Laurent house is such a tradition… It’s great that he, in a small way, can be part of it,” he told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former James Bond actor Brosnan was predictably cooler.<\/p>\n

“It is a proud moment. We’re here to see our son on the runway. To support him,” he said.<\/p>\n

“He’s not modeled before, and Hedi (Slimane) just discovered him at a juice bar coffee shop in Malibu,” he added, laughing.<\/p>\n

SAINT LAURENT HEADS TO WOODSTOCK<\/strong>
\nSlimane headed directly into counter-culture (and perhaps counter-fashion) for his glitzily shabby fash ode to the late Sixties hippy on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Torn denim jeans, knitted bobble hats, unkempt hair, boys that look like girls, (and vice versa), lumberjack shirts, army surplus coats, Peruvian ponchos and tie-dye tops were all thrown into the creative mix by the irreverent designer who seemed to channel the styles of the 1969 iconic Woodstock music festival.<\/p>\n

It was intentionally provocative — given the clothes’ exorbitant price-tag.<\/p>\n

The collection, which was also one of Saint Laurent’s most decorative, mixed high and low.<\/p>\n

Among all the shabby hippy wardrobe sprung out some real gems — like a fabulous patchwork leopard print tuxedo, or a richly embroidered jacket that was made from every colour of the rainbow.<\/p>\n

Whether the fashion media were being duped or not, it was great fun to watch.<\/p>\n

BROSNAN TALKS OF BEING MOBBED IN IRELAND<\/strong>
\nBrosnan, 62, was pictured being mobbed by fans on Saturday while in Dublin filming for his latest movie, a revenge film called “I.T.”<\/p>\n

“You know, I’m Irish and it’s just so wonderful to be back home filming this film,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It’s really touching as well that there is clearly this excitement that I’m back there,” he added.<\/p>\n

LANVIN CONTINUES ’80s-TINGED LOVE AFFAIR<\/strong>
\nNBA star Amar’e Stoudemire continued his whistle stop tour of Paris Fashion Week, arriving at Lanvin with his wife for the Sunday morning show.<\/p>\n

In the collection, co-designers Lucas Ossendrijver and Alber Elbaz continued their recent flirtations with the ’80s, offering up a varied collection — dominated by neutral colours.<\/p>\n

The show’s opening statement — an oversize pale grey polo shirt with a model with slicked-back hair — set the clock firmly back to the era of exaggerated volume and form.<\/p>\n

More ’80s references abounded — like a huge, voluminous blue suit, with big round shoulders, turned up sleeves, and high-waisted pants — and white patent and punk-looking boots. Elsewhere, a turned-up collar on a stylish pea coat cut a graphic silhouette, especially with the floodlit lighting inside Paris’ storied Left Bank Ecole des Beaux Arts.<\/p>\n

In other looks, there were flashes of detail, embellishment and layering — tassels flapping down from long jerkins, necklaces, hoops on belts, and neck scarves.<\/p>\n

The collection packed no great surprises, but was consistently stylish.<\/p>\n

AGNES B. MIXES SOBRIETY AND MADNESS<\/strong>
\nIt was an eclectic mix of styles in Agnes B.’s creative pot Sunday.<\/p>\n

A sober start of black-and-white suit and shirt styles was followed by white jeans and a snug-looking denim jumpsuit that the Parisian designer, bien sur, twinned with a Left Bank-standard foulard.<\/p>\n

But there was a welcome flash of madness.<\/p>\n

Two psychedelic, multi-colored hoodies, burst onto the catwalk midway through, with one nicely evoking the decorative swirls of Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. And the psychedelic was repeated in a pair of flower power shirts.<\/p>\n

The colour chapter also produced the show’s most on-trend moments _ with citrus yellow (one of the main colours of the season) appearing on turned up pants, and a shirt. But the extent of the creative madness ended here.<\/p>\n

PAUL SMITH’S COLORFUL EIGHTIES
\n<\/strong>Paul Smith is perhaps the menswear designer most closely associated with bold colour.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s show proved why — with the British designer cleverly riffing off the trend for the 80s by reviving that decade’s often-overlooked penchant for vivid hues on exaggerated jackets and pants.<\/p>\n

The first clue to this mission was an oversize burnt orange jacket with angular shoulders _ that hanged loosely down to the mid-thigh. It was masterfully contrasted with a subtle vermilion in the shirt and high Eighties pants.<\/p>\n

The most eye-catching of the colorful looks — were some on-trend citrus yellow pants — a hue that flashed back in boots, a shirt and a sweater later in the collection.<\/p>\n

There was also a hint of the dazzling era of Glam Rock — with one bold, shiny grey double breasted jacket and stylish skinny tie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
