Bouchra Jarrar pulled off an impeccable debut Lanvin show on Wednesday at Paris fashion week despite the storm clouds still swirling around the troubled French label. The 45-year-old French designer took the helm of the fashion capital's oldest couture house in March, five months after the shock sacking of its charismatic guiding light Alber Elbaz. The hugely popular Elbaz had dragged the house from near oblivion during his 14 years in charge, and his departure sparked a revolt by staff and a haemorrhage of talent.

The gender pay gap continues to fuel widespread political debate, but this week the attention is focused on the fashion modeling industry, after a key industry figure shed light on the fact that when it comes to the catwalk it is men, rather than women, who are struggling to shatter the glass ceiling. In an interview with BBC Newsbeat Monday, top agent for male models Elizabeth Rose, Head of the Men's Board at Premier Model Management, spoke out about the disparity in wages between male and female clotheshorses. “The top 10 female models all make millions,” she told the site.

Muscular, classically chiseled male models are a dying breed as men are ever more chosen for thinness, even androgyny, in a fashion world playing with the notion of gender. It only takes looking back a decade to male fashion shows — at Versace, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton or Gucci — to see the change on the catwalk. Back then, “male models were a little bit bigger… not so, so skinny,” said Tricia Romani, head of the Canadian branch of the Wilhelmina international modeling agency.

The ugly shoe craze is not over. We've seen what happens when Uggs and Tevas team up, and even the horrifying invention of cowboy boot sandals. Now, we must stomach the crème de la crème of ugly shoes: bejeweled crocs. London designer Christopher Kane teamed up with Crocs to create this sparkly monstrosity for his Spring 2017 in London's fashion week. The theme of his show, “Make Do & Mend,” is inspired by 1940's pragmatism and questions our faith in high fashion standards. Kane's metallic crocs are decorated with precious stones, such as diaspro, red leopard malachite and zebra jasper and will actually be produced and sold.

It seems the designer's collection sparked genuine confusion on twitter as well. Please explain to me why Christopher Kane sent crocs down the runway — k-la (@KaylaManjarrez) September 19, 2016 Crocs happened at Christopher Kane?!! I can't wait to see how this plays out! — Grace Timothy (@GraceTimothy) September 19, 2016 If Christopher Kane just ordained Crocs as the new ironic shoe du jour I'm gonna lose it — Misty White Sidell (@MistyWhiteS) September 19, 2016 When will it end?
