Doni Nahmias traded Parisian salons for sand and surf for Spring/Summer 2027, presenting a collection that transported editors and buyers from the Tuileries to the California coastline. The show, held during Paris Men’s Fashion Week at a venue transformed into a boardwalk, leaned into the relaxed vocabulary that has built the brand’s cult following: worn-in suede, patchwork leather, and handcrafted knits that reference the beach-town ease of Nahmias’s native Los Angeles.
Nahmias’s signature remains the MVP jacket, a patchwork leather piece that this season appeared in distressed finishes with a worn-in hand feel that suggested years of wear before the first purchase. The brand collaborated with a Japanese denim mill for a run of hand-faded jeans that carried the uneven, personal quality of vintage Levi’s from the 1970s. Graphic T-shirts carried the slogan ‘Paris Kinda Sucks’—a knowing wink at the brand’s West Coast irreverence transplanted into Europe’s most formal fashion city.
The collection also marked the third release of the Nahmias x Puma collaboration, which debuted in February with the Puma Suede and returned this season with a new Speedcat silhouette and accompanying apparel. The partnership has been a commercial success for both brands, bridging Nahmias’s streetwear-adjacent audience with Puma’s heritage sport credentials. A dinner celebrating the collaboration drew a cross-section of the Paris fashion and culture worlds.
The collection’s defining gesture was its material depth. A wide-weave check fabric was hand-loomed in collaboration with Peruvian artisans, producing a cloth that read as both rustic and refined—chunky in structure but lightweight across the shoulder. A slouchy Baja-style knit from the same region featured wispy, sun-bleached stripes that mimicked the faded quality of a sweater left too long in coastal light. Indian artisans contributed crochet trims and lace details on cargo trousers.
