While the beginning seemed to channel a girl who was lighthearted, cool and sweetly feminine, the final shows on the last day of Paris Fashion Week were wildly different. The Paris weather began to heat up and so did the visual message on the runways.
Moncler Gamme Rouge was next on the agenda, transporting the audience to a jungle setting - a common theme in set designs this season.
Some rather functional safari and khaki outfits were shown among the vines and green palm leaves of this exotic fauna.
Giraffe, python and leopard prints appeared, some of them nestled among plumes of dramatic feathers. It was clear that Moncler was answering the call of the wild.
Then feral skater boys whizzed by on their boards and, in true Moncler style, two men dressed as gorillas danced along the runway at the finale.
Another label employing the jungle as a starting point was Hermès, the final show I attended on the spring-summer 2014 calendar.
