This rule, however, does not always apply, as New York–based men’s knitwear designer Victor Glemaud discovered recently while pounding the rues of the City of Light in high-waisted stonewashed jeans, a tight red knit turtleneck, and bright green socks. “People always look at me for some reason,” the 31-year-old Glemaud says as a gaggle of girls giggle by him on the Rue de Bac. “Perhaps it’s because today I’m wearing ‘mom jeans.’ ” The rest of Glemaud’s ensemble he describes as both “a new silhouette” and “very Melrose Place.”
