It was all a bit Marlene Dietrich meets Grace Jones this season at Jean-Paul Gaultier’s stellar show in Paris. An awe-struck crowd looked on as models stalked out, cigarette in hand, wearing all that an art-deco fantasist could dream of and more.

This Marant wardrobe will probably be extremely bankable: her spring-summer collection was [...]
Welcome to the Versailles court… Gold brocade, sequins, lame, lurex or fringing; it is Balmain’s take on a very rock-and-roll version of Versailles and classic French design.
