With Paris Haute Couture 2015 coming to an end today we reveal our top pictures from the extravagant event, and it’s not all about the catwalks…
This year’s Paris Haute Couture show, one of the most prestigious events in the style calendar, was a perfect expression of French national pride after the recent ‘terrorist’ atrocities that shock the country’s capital to its very core. Proving ever defiant the fashion industry put on it’s boldest, bravest and most bolshie shows, attracting a plethora of sartorially savvy celebrities and street style aficionados in the process, meaning the attention wasn’t always on the incredible catwalk shows.
