Banana Republic takes its holiday party edit to Paris, where models Francisco Faria, Sam Salter, and Halid Nuhu gather in an ornate apartment for an evening of festive dressing. Against gilded furnishings and parquet floors, the brand proposes a holiday wardrobe that favors rich textures and personal style.

Chocolate velvet suiting brings a touch of seventies glamour, while a suede shirt jacket worn with a tie and a leather blouson paired with tailored trousers offer more casual interpretations of occasion dressing. A red merino sweater provides the season’s most recognizable color, paired with black pleated trousers.

The relaxed styling and candid photography give the gathering the atmosphere of a private party among friends, where dressing well is part of the pleasure of getting together. Banana Republic supplies the Parisian setting and the wardrobe, but the men wearing the clothes are what make it a party.
