Couture week is by no means an outlier on the fashion calendar.
But this season, the shows seemed to really find their stride with a dialogue that was consistent between the runway and the streets.
Street style was especially inspiring with an elegance that departed from the more subdued looks we saw last summer.
The inspiration was particularly felt at Jean Paul Gaultier, where the guest designer Simone Rocha debuted her first couture collection.
As for Schiaparelli, the show — packed with its usual wall-to-wall celebrities including Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya — opened with a model carrying a sparkly robot baby.
