Dior Homme: Pressed flower badges and Prince of Wales checks at Dior Homme.
Acne Studios: It was game on at Acne Studios where post-punk mods lined up in front of a Tron-like lighting installation.
Sacai: The serene setting for Sacai's presentation, where creative director Chitose Abe toyed with structure and textural effects in a collection that reworked casual classics.
Ami: There was a hard edge at Alexandre Mattiussi’s outing, where pierced models knuckled down in snow-white parkas and a herringbone coat thrown over a hoodie.
Comme des Garçons: Charcoal drawings by New York-born photographer and artist Roger Ballen donned the back of jackets at Comme des Garçons
APC: The brand presented a striking study in beige, embracing it for a fashion audience and not just off-duty bankers and lawyers.
Kenzo: The house presented its A/W show within the newly opened Jean Nouvel-designed Philharmonie de Paris.
Kenzo: Inside, the Legoland rubber-coated seats were just as cool.
Ann Demeulemeester: An unexpected pop of colour on the Demeulemeester runway by the founder’s former second in command, now creative director, Sébastien Meunier.
Berluti: Up, up and away. The balloon filled entrance at Berluti
Loewe: JW Anderson's confident second men's collection for Loewe pushed his ethos of feminised masculinity even further into the realms of luxury.
Sandro: Post-punk patches, army surplus inspired jackets and lots of leather at the Sandro presentation.
Maison Kitsuné: We stopped by the opening of Maison Kitsuné’s latest boutique designed by Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran of Dimore Studio.
Cerruti 1881: Creative director Aldo Maria Camillo takes a bow after the Cerruti 1881 Paris presentation.
Kolor: High performance sportswear meets fashion with Kolor's new Adidas collaboration.
4006750293001
Junya Watanabe: It was high hats and Motown tuxedo jackets all the way at Watanabe.
Film: Antonio Camera
Pierre Hardy: The skater slip-on got a luxurious upgrade for A/W in supple leather.
Yohji Yamamoto: Street-fighting men walked the Yohji Yamamoto catwalk in clothing that carried battle scars and Frankenstein-like construction.
Camper: This season's Camper presentation showcased the brand's new advertising campaign and signaled an exciting new vision under creative director Romain Kremer.
Issey Miyake Men: Eccentric layers reflected the different facets of a man's lifestyle at Issey Miyake Men.
Haider Ackermann: The Belgian designer lined up rich jewel tones and velveteen textures for his dandyish A/W effort.
4004440396001
Raf Simons: Thierry Dreyfus' cinematic lighting of a vast, derelict warehouse in the Parisian suburb of Ivry-sur-Seine set the scene for Simons' autobiographical autumn 2015 collection.
22/4_Hommes_Femmes: The flickering LED screens that lined the stairwells before entering the 22/4_Hommes_Femmes show.
4004477302001
Valentino: Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri worked with Australian artist Esther Stewart on their show's colourful carpet catwalk.
Valentino: The house's geometric colour blocking up close in the Valentino showroom.
Lemaire: A clean slate at Christophe Lemaire who dropped his first name but not that polished minimalism.
