As was expected, the usual suspects of high-brow designers let their imaginations loose at Paris Fashion Week, staging sets and runways as elaborate and well-conceived as the garments themselves. Held September 23 to October 1, the fashion industry gathering offered an array of inspiring visuals—from Dries Van Noten’s magical dreamscape and Balenciaga’s new creature-of-the-night aesthetic to Kenzo and Chanel's outings, both of which showcased wares against gritty city backdrops—proving, once again, to be very Instagram-friendly.
