The shows, outfits and must-see moments from a very fashionable month in the capitals
It’s out with the old and in with the brand sparkling new.
Here are the new season highlights - get set to step out in style…
STANDOUT SHOWS
Featuring 80’s-esque leather mini dresses, lamé party pieces and skinny tailored suits, Anthony Vaccarello’s debut collection for Saint Laurent was one of the hottest collections of the season.
At the Balmain show, designer Olivier Rousteing sent his supermodels (which included IT girls Gigi Hadid and Stella Maxwell) down the catwalk in athleisure inspired slinky leggings and sultry cutout dresses.
While over in London, Burberry unveiled their first-ever shoppable September 2016 collection allowing clients to buy any piece (83 womenswear and menswear runway looks) straight off the catwalk after the show.
To wrap up a fashion-packed month in the capitals, Miu Miu closed Paris Fashion Week with a show at the iconic Palais d’Iéna. But the most memorable moment of the month went to Stella McCartney in Paris, which saw the models end the show with a feel-good dance-off down the catwalk.

BACKSTAGE BESTIES

While the guests take to their seats, beyond the velvet curtain a host of make-up artists, hairdressers and stylists are franticly applying the finishing tweaks backstage, while fashion’s favourite faces Snapchat and take selfies in-between touch-ups.
Model of the moment Kendall Jenner, along with sisters Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid, are arguably the current reigning queens of the catwalk, walking in the most coveted shows and landing the biggest ad campaigns. Throughout the flurry of fashion week, the girls were spotted together backstage and on the runway at countless Spring/Summer 2017 shows such as Marc Jacobs and Chanel.
