Models marched steadily down the marble runway of a stark, white space set up in the neoclassical Palais Brongniart while dramatic opera singing played on the soundtrack.
Jones, who is also creative director for the menswear line of Dior, another LVMH-owned fashion house, took his bow with Delfina Delettrez Fendi, artistic director of jewellery.
The Paris haute couture shows wrap up Thursday, having featured labels Giorgio Armani Prive, Kering-owned (PRTP.PA) Balenciaga, Dior, Valentino and American fashion house Thom Browne.
