Models walk the runway at the John Galliano menswear spring/summer 2014 show at Paris Fashion Week

Oh what a circus! Oh what a show! Kenzo, Galliano, Dior... it's the end of a menswear marathon in Paris

At the end of the three-nations menswear marathon through London, Milan and Paris, it felt appropriate that Kenzo showed its latest collection in a circus, and in the round.

Twist in the tails: Gaultier lights up the Paris catwalk with his traditional flair

Jean Paul Gaultier showed his haute couture collection in Paris yesterday to typically spectacular effect. This was a vintage show heavy on cages – in gold leather or inky black dripping with jet – gender-bending tailoring and corsetry of the sort that made the couturier famous in the 1980s. Remember this is the man who put David Beckham in a skirt and Madonna in a conical bra.
