The hottest trends from Haute Couture Week

With the bi-annual fashion frenzy that is Haute Couture Week over for another six months, we can reflect on the trends that the Fall 2016 shows brought to the catwalks of Paris last week. Armani Privé emphasized the exposure by keeping the legs and neck covered, while Elie Saab went for maximum impact, teaming V-necks that finished at the waist with equally daring thigh splits. Dior took a more demure approach, balancing out the look with puffball sleeves and Iris Van Herpen opted for a dramatic look that combined a deep neckline and an off-the-shoulder cut.

Out of fashion: how men could fall off the catwalk

Menswear shows, traditionally held months before the women hit the runways later in the year, are being slowly airbrushed from the fashion industry's calendar and folded into the women's events, almost as an accessory. In Milan, where male models are strutting their stuff in shows that began on Friday for men's fashion week, 10 designers have decided not to showcase their collections this year including Calvin Klein, Ermenegildo Zegna and Kering's Brioni and Bottega Veneta. Other brands, including Burberry, Gucci and Tom Ford, have announced in recent months that they plan to stage combined events in future.
