Mood board: ‘I wanted a sensory overload in the collection,’ wrote Raf Simons of his Fall show for Dior. ‘With this animalistic, sexual woman wearing a new kind of camouflage.’ No one could imagine Raf Simons delivering a cliched green and khaki army camouflage print - or leopard spots for that matter. In fact, his overload came in newly created, hyper-real pattern where strict, abstract bubbles floated over second-skin knitted-jacquard body suits tamed with mannish overcoats.

Best in show: The sharp lines of this collection made the clothes glow off their white backdrops, best of all were the caged dresses that looked like metal grating from public staircases.

Finishing touches: The footwear, especially the gleaming patent leather never-ending boots with swirling dots, added magnificent touches of colour and shine, while flat lensed eyewear looked coolly modern.
