Houston-based Glass Cypress, a conceptual men's clothing label, was selected by independent designer collective Flying Solo to be one of a handful of emerging designers to receive a runway show at Paris Fashion Week. Glass Cypress will debut eight new looks from the collection while in Paris, with eight models showcasing the brand's latest items on the catwalk. Glass Cypress is known for its linear form of design, using a limited color palette to highlight minor details and pewter grey extensively throughout to accentuate a dystopian aesthetic.

"We know fashion from a different place than most designers and we're looking forward to bringing our perspective to Paris," said Saber Ahmed, CEO of Glass Cypress, in a statement. "We design clothes from an intuitive relationship from the suburb we grew up in: Cypress, Texas. And with that unique background and experience, any kid from the suburbs in any part of the world will be able to see their life in our clothes and on display. We believe that is the new couture."

Fans of the brand can expect to see anomalous twists on essential winter wear, with thought-provoking graphics, meticulous details and striking color methods. Unique methods of layering inspired by traditional Japanese kimono layering will also be featured on the Paris runway. The show marks the first partnership of Glass Cypress with Flying Solo.
