Taking place in the heart of the French capital, the show, designed by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, was presented amidst a wraparound digital installation titled ‘NOT HER’ by the artist Elena Bellantoni which recreated past examples of sexist advertising with corresponding texts that critically correct the original messages from a feminist viewpoint.

Leather had been cut into jackets and blouses which were glazed and cracked and echoed by the profusion of corresponding gloves. Sportswear came to life through denim with burn-like outlines, a strapped cape, and toggle-fastened drawstring pleating.

As has become a trend this season, footwear followed the ballerina form with low heels, and elegantly frayed bows and pearls as trim.
