These days, almost all fashion collections presented in Paris have a name, such as "Enfants Terribles" for the Japanese label Kidill, which resurrects 1990s skate culture. For Yohji Yamamoto, it's "Don't Do That". At Walter Van Beirendonck, the collection is called "We Need New Eyes To See The Future", while Rick Owens has chosen "Luxor Men's" and Jeanne Friot "Red Warriors".

Without a doubt, Louis Vuitton's collection was this year's most hotly anticipated runway show.

FRANCE 24 takes you to the catwalks at Paris Fashion Week.
