THE COBBLESTONE AVENUES OF PARIS during fashion week are packed with people at shows making sartorial statements from the stylish to the surreal. Will we be wearing any of these looks this autumn? The combination of luxurious pieces with street-style denim continues the high/low aesthetic that has dominated fashion this season.

During haute couture week photographers move swiftly and fluidly to capture the best of street style: the dramatic, the chic, the outlandish and the famous.

Rita Ora was a favourite, photographed with flowing fair tresses, wearing a glittering silver bustier to Schiaparelli, smiling as she walked into the show.

Donning a Jean Paul Gaultier Naked Dress (see main picture), a tall blonde caught the attention of everyone outside of the show, from bloggers and vloggers to professional photographers. The show-stopping, maxi-length dress, designed by Lotta Volvoka, was inspired by Gaultier's SS96 collection called Cyberbaba. Made in Italy from stretch jersey, it features anude trompe l'oeil silhouette on the front and back.

Supermodel Coco Rocha was on the street wearing an exquisite Iris van Herpen cream concoction and striking a pose. Haute couture only happens twice a year and only in Paris, first in wintry January and then in the peak summer month of July. Already the fashion merry-go-round of September's ready-to-wear in New York has begun.

Designers are able to express conceptual and imaginative ideas in haute couture that are not possible in the context of pret-a-porter collections.

Couture brings another level of artistic creativity to the runway and to street style, including guests and the great fashion panoply filling central Paris.

Although most of the shows during the pandemic were digital, this season the number of physical shows on the official calendar outnumbered them, with journalists and editors from all over the world returning to the French capital.

Exquisitehand-working is part of the haute couture ethos, and this was evident atMaria Grazia Chiuri's very wearable show at Dior with beautifulembroidery and at Virginie Viard's new collection at Chanel. Balmain artistic director Olivier Rousteing designed an evocative one-offhaute collection for Jean Paul Gaultier. The French couturier collaborates with a new designer each season who reimagines the Gaultier aesthetic.

Colombian singer Maluma wore one of Olivier Rousteing's creations from the new show plus the necklace by Dutchartist Joseph Klibansky. The necklace and the pendant ~ the singer's dog Buda in a spacesuit ~ are made of18k white gold and set with 15, 000 diamonds. The links combine circles wtih diamond-encrusted bones.

Theavant-garde was found at Yuima Nakazato'sBlueshow, theJapanese designer sending his signature otherworldly designs down arunway made of origami-like rocks representing the planet.

Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli again rifled through the house's Surrealist archive creating his signature sleek yet subversive designs.

All of the drama and theatricality is certainlynot restricted to the catwalk and fashionistas were happy to express themselves in ever more extraordinary ways.

This summer, it was not unusual to see evening gowns worn during the day with big chunky heels or floating, diaphanous dresses catching the breeze on a hot Paris afternoon, worn with runners.

The suit was back too, with matching jackets and skirts or trousers as well as the contrasting super casual Nineties aesthetic seen everywhere: voluminous jeans, jackets and tight white t-shirts. ~ Jeanne-Marie Cilento
