Paris Fashion Week highlights

Loewe thrust Paris Fashion Week into a bleak and dystopian vision of the future on Saturday - turning its runway into a dead space where nature and animal life only existed to be harnessed and exploited by humankind.

A sanitised white wall descended onto a bare deck as models walked by robotically, bathed in misty white light.

The only place that grass grew in designer Jonathan Anderson's fashion dystopia was literally out of shoes, where green blades quivered and flapped surreally as the automatons filed by. 

The British designer used the remarkable set and concept not only as a springboard for some of the most accomplished designs seen this season, but to make a thoughtful comment about ecology and humanity's contempt for the natural world. If we continue, Anderson warned, the world will be destroyed and the only way to see bees will be on video.
