Dior took over the Musée Rodin in Paris, building a pop-up art-gallery-meets-catwalk in the garden. The rapper Cardi B flew in to watch Schiaparelli, wearing a black velvet gown accessorised with gold earrings in the shape of a giant second pair of ears dangling to her shoulders.

In other words, all is business at usual at the haute couture shows in the French capital, despite a weekend of nationwide unrest caused by the death of 17-year-old Nahel M in a suburb of Paris last week.
