There’s a reason Paris Fashion Week closes fashion month – it’s the grand dame of fashion, the one where the heritage big hitters like Chanel, Dior, Givenchy and Valentino come out to show the kids how it’s done. John Galliano at Maison Margiela showed why he’s still the king of reinvention, while Maria Grazia Chiuri continued blazing a feminist trail at Dior. Dries van Noten was on fine form with his signature lush prints and textures and Stella McCartney injected some humour into proceedings with performers in animal costumes drawing attention to her cruelty-free credentials.
Feminist art and checks aplenty at DIOR
