CamperLab arrived at Paris Men’s Fashion Week with the growl of an engine in a concrete garage. For their first official runway show, creative director Achilles Ion Gabriel transformed a disused multi-story parking structure into a shadowy dreamscape: fluorescent lights cutting through smoke, oil stains blending with sweat-slicked skin.

The collection embodied CamperLab’s mercurial spirit. What began as footwear experimentation has evolved into a full universe of contrasts, where trompe l’oeil tartan suits warp reality and oversized denim coats bear the marks of imagined lives. The brand’s shoe DNA mutated into new forms: the TORNADO sneaker sprouting its signature spikes from the sole, the TORMENTa reborn as stormy sunglasses. Leather goods took darker turns with the LAUKKU and BIG LUNSSI bags, their shapes deliciously distorted like melted memories.

The show featured a cast of characters brought to life by street-cast unknowns rubbing shoulders with icons like Lia Lia and Sven Marquardt. Styling by Inge Grognard and Louis Ghewy painted them as garage-dwelling ghosts, their sweat and oil stains suggesting stories half-told. Michele Rizzo’s choreography and Pandora’s Jukebox’s soundscape completed the transportation to CamperLab’s world, one where familiar things twist just enough to feel dangerous.

By staging their coming-of-age moment in a parking garage, CamperLab made their philosophy clear: fashion doesn’t need polish when it has personality.
