The Kering-owned label took to the circular Bourse de Commerce – a historic wheat exchange refurbished to house the Pinault Collection of contemporary art – sending models around the space in dark trench coats with prominent shoulders and white blouses, dressed up with oversized bows, or cut low, showing skin.
