Eclectic was the word to describe Day Three of Paris menswear week.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s spring-summer collections had a little something for everyone: from the high-waisted gangster styles of film noir to fashions evoking Brazilian soccer and even the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

In one collection \u2014 which its designer called the longest fashion show in history \u2014 the boundaries were blurred between clothing and performance art.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere in Paris, the only thing that defines menswear is variety, difference. You cannot put it in one direction,\u201d French fashion federation president Didier Grumbach told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Givenchy\u2019s enfant terrible designer, Riccardo Tisci, delivered the day\u2019s slickest show. In a provocative display, he delved into his Roman Catholic childhood in southern Italy to produce clothing loaded with Virgin Mary images.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s shows include Dior Homme and powerhouse Hermes.<\/p>\n

It was an ecclesiastical tour de force in a religion-inspired collection. Incense wafted from the sidelines and organ music set the scene in a show that played with the layers of priestly garb.<\/p>\n

Tisci shows always contain a shock factor. Here it came in the form of sleeveless tops and jackets printed with effigies of the Virgin Mary with a black bar over her eyes.<\/p>\n

Jesus sandals \u2014 de rigueur for all the models \u2014 bore spiky chains.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going back to my roots,\u201d Tisci, an Italian Catholic, told The Associated Press. \u201cIt\u2019s about Communion, but a sex version of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silhouettes were knee-length or at the hip. The longer looks in black, white and blood red descended like columns, with cassock undergarments hanging underneath. The shorter looks were best, such as a printed T-shirt paired with a jacket \u2014 again featuring Virgin imagery \u2014 that opened up like a Catholic triptych.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
