Here are some Parisian picks, arranged by trend - I use the word 'trend' in the loosest possible terms, because I've just made most of them up.

Row 1 - Anne Demeulemeester, Cacharel, Haider Ackerman
Row 2 - Chanel, Maison, Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen
Row 3 - Jean Paul Gaultier, Miu Miu, Tsumori Chisato
Row 4 - Loewe, Louise Vuitton, Valentino
Row 5 - Carven, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Sonia Rykiel
Row 6 - Chloe, Christian Dior, Lanvin
YAY TRENDS
- Row 1 - Absolutes - Make outfit statements in one colour (or two) - emphasis is on texture and silhouette.
- Row 2 - Come together, fall apart - Deconstructed, zipped and ripped apart outfits. I shouldn't love this because these are oriented towards the willowy of body, but I do anyway.
- Rpw 3 - Little old ladies - Pour talcum powder in your 'do, amp up the boxy silhouette and invest in a furry shopping trolley, as seen at Gaultier.
- Row 4 - Night porter - Leather trenches with very little little on underneath for the dominatrix vibe. Christian Dior jokes optional.
- Row 5 - Plaid - pensive plaid at Carven, Playful plaid at Castelbajac and Sonia Rykiel - it's all good.
- Row 6 - Textures with pattern - wooly snakeskin at Chloe and flower print gazar fabric at Lanvin.
NAY TRENDS
- None - though when it comes to Paris, I have rose-tinted specs. Perhaps there was an overabundance of fur, but that seems to have been an overarching trend covering all four weeks.
