Catwalk tour: the top men’s fashion week venues from S/S 2016

Canali: Calm after the storm was the theme for Canali's spring presentation. Creating a soothing and sterile environment, the Italian brand employed boxed screens along the venue's white-washed walls, which projected dramatic thunder storm scenes at the commerce of the show, before clear skies won out for the finale

Coach: The New York brand recreated a skate park, once again bringing its eponymous American spirit to British turf. For Stuart Vevers' London debut, patchworked wooden ramps set the scene for the creative director's equally playful garb

Dior Homme: Bursting into bloom for spring, the French powerhouse transformed the Tennis Club de Paris into an indoor parterre garden where upwards of 2,000 Fée de Neiges rose bushes filled triangular beds. Photography: Adrien Dirand

Dior Homme: A slanted floor-to-ceiling mirror accentuated the impact of Kris Van Assche's models winding through the parquet pathways, which overflowed with perfect white blooms. Photography: Adrien Dirand

Salvatore Ferragamo: Milan gallerist Claudio Loria of Leclettico was charged with transforming the Ferragamo show space into a jungle of wild trees, plants and retro furnishings. Amongst the green foliage he placed a striking 1970s gorilla statue and collectible pieces from design goddess Gabriella Crespi

Givenchy: Riccardo Tisci’s soldiers marched in and out of steel metal cages for his S/S 2016 offering. A world away from the haphazard school hall setting of previous seasons, this venue's distinctly industrial edge possessed an institutional severity

Kenzo: Scenography is always an integral ingredient of a Kenzo show, and for spring we entered into a cavernous space generously covered in sand and punctuated with vintage hydraulic light stations and boulders, or meteors, which sparkled silver

Kenzo: As the electronic soundtrack pumped, the rocks rotated faster and faster. Credit goes to Etienne Russo of Villa Eugenie for the production design, which left a lasting impact on the crowd, long after the sand was shaken out of shoes

Ermenegildo Zegna Couture: A world away from last season’s alpine theme, this time around Stefano Pilati presented a pure white set within the Piazza Vi Febbraio. The bright, glowing tunnel mimicked the clean elegance of Pilati’s modernist tailoring

Gucci: New creative director Alessandro Michele went electro for his debut show space, in which he posed a feminine take on menswear for S/S 2016. Indeed it was all change at Gucci, including the venue. Fluorescent pink tube lights were lined up across the backdrop of the show, accentuating the romantic lines of his gender bending collection

Philipp Plein: We've had roller coasters, pool parties and Snoop Dogg, and this season the German designer's gargantuan showmanship showed no sign of slowing. For spring we buckled our seat belts as we were greeted by five motorcycle drivers zooming around a spherical metal cage. Next 80 cars, found at a Milan junk yard and covered in gold and silver foil, were driven over by a monster truck, which ended up exploding into a burst of firework flames

Acne Studios: The Swedish brand went conceptual for spring with a backdrop that united old school speakers with a suspended wave

Berluti: The beach came to central Paris for Berluti's spring show that saw the house's models sunning themselves in striped deck chairs wearing little more than their pants, socks and shoes

Wooyoungmi: The Korean label's S/S 2016 show took place within the heavily ornamented Salon Imperial of Paris' Intercontinental Hotel. Inside the dimly lit salon, models marched around a illuminated sphere, underscoring the collision of past, present and future. An ambient score by Stu Sibley enhanced the cinematic effect.
