Paris notes: Colour-blocked cheongsams and a zebra-striped Kristen McMenamy at Louis Vuitton
Marc Jacobs took the season’s trend for Asian-inspired pieces and ran with it at Louis Vuitton. There were colour-blocked cheongsams, sequined obi sashes on skinny lurex knits, a Panda face tunic in sequins, pyjama pantsuits, lantern fringe and fan-shaped beading. Kristen McMenamy ended the show topless with painted-on zebra stripes and a pair of tuxedo trousers. I dare you to try that one at home.
