Paris Fashion Week always provides that extra boost after a few long weeks on the road, and this season was no exception. As Leila Yavari, stylebop.com Fashion Director, exclusively reports for Emirates Woman.

From some of my personal favourites, such as Valentino, Alexander McQueen and Celine, through to relative newcomers like Ellery, Vetements and Vanessa Seward – Paris had an undeniable sense of optimism that was present from to finish.
