Day four of Paris Fashion Week began with the performance artists of fashion, Viktor and Rolf and their OTT theatrical show. Models were decked out in seriously heavy-duty black coats, Elizabethan ruffs and crystal encrusted leotards.
They were followed by French heritage brand, Cacharel, who twisted their floral associations into something darker and more grown up – with rosette details against black backgrounds, and pleated dresses were teamed with oversized coats.
Sophia Kokosalaki was all about the eighties, with her modern take on powerdressing. Blouses, high waisted trousers and suede belts in shades of caramel and beige were livened up with vintage style evening gowns.
For something entirely different, Ann Demeulemeester opted for a more experimental fusion of tribal inspired looks, with masculine, wetlook tailoring. Cigarette slim trousers and mannish blazers were teamed with feather and whiplash accessories, with fur stoles tied at the waist.
Jean Paul Gaultier took his inspiration from a global melting pot including Mexico, Morroco and India. Models wore vibrant colours with mismatched shoes and accessories. Top model Coco Rocha starred in the show – and took to the runway in an African print turban, peacoat and red cowboy boots.
The day was then rounded off with Loewe’s ladylike and classic collection inspired by Ava Gardner. Models wore A line dresses, high waisted silhouettes and veils - with lacquered hair and red lips finshing off the look.
