19:00: The biggest names in fashion and AZ Factory's own design team come together to pay tribute to the late Alber Elbaz. Elbaz's influence was drawn out in a multitude of ways with heart motifs and illustrations of the man himself, but what they shared in common was the feeling of joy and love for a legend lost.
Fashion month is drawing to a close, and we're at our final stop: Paris. Join us here as we live stream the SS22 shows from some of our favourite brands that are showing in the French capital.

Tuesday 5th October
18:00: A fairytale world (with a controversial plot twist) is shown at Louis Vuitton through ruffled collars and capes but not without practicality and wearability.
15:30: Skateboarders opened the show and signalled the cool kid vibes at Lacoste with body-hugging knits and an array of outerwear to suit whatever terrain you play.
14:00: Hair flicks, sassy twirls, and smiles for the cameras – the Chanel runway was an ode to the fashion shows of the l`ate 80s and a celebration of fashion photography: spy Inez and Vinoodh at the end of the runway capturing content for next season.
13:00: SS22 sees a more mature Miu Miu customer returning to the office in not so SFW work wear with low-rise mini skirts (think Aguilera in the Dirrty era) and crop-top dress shirting.
Monday 4th October
14:30: Akris brings a breath of fresh air to the PFW schedule with clean lines, a tonal colour palette, and beautiful everyday looks for the modern woman.
13:30: Maison Margiela uses film once again to show a utopian world; Galliano's cast of rebellers moving between scenes in Fair isle sweaters and bright yellow boots.
Sunday 3rd October
19:00: Matthew Williams’ Givenchy held its first in-person show last night and the Josh Smith prints stood out for their matching colour palette with a horror pumpkin bag - all set for Halloween?
16:00 No bells and whistles from Ann Demeulemeester; her signature monochrome palette, dark sensibility and sharp tailoring speaks for itself.
10:30: Did someone say confetti? Glamour meets childlike fun with electrified florals and shimmering mini dresses at Lanvin.
Saturday 2nd October
19:00: A special episode of The Simpsons, a clever subversion of the typical fashion show format, and social commentary on the industry from Balenciaga.
13:30: A beautifully streamlined collection from Hermès with comfort and craft at its core. Elasticated waistbands have never looked so chic.
11:00: Bold, eclectic, and fun to a fault, Andreas Kronthaler's collection for Vivienne Westwood celebrated a world of fashion that is inclusive and diverse.
8:30: Anrealage blurs the lines between reality and fantasy with prism prints and geometric shapes that see their characters equipped for a hyper-real future.
Friday 1st October
19:30: The looks to hit the Valentino runway were bright, sparkly and unapologetically bold. Most of all, each and every one was wearable.
18:00: Head-to-toe black looks felt statuesque but not without the sense of ease that comes with Yohji Yamamoto's signature draping.
13:30: Nina Ricci's mermaids of tomorrow are stepping out in fisherman's netting and scuba-diving inspired head pieces.
10:30: J.W. Anderson's embrace of the eccentric continues as models walked the Loewe runway in jutting boxy shapes and gold-plated armour whilst the second half of the show saw softer silhouettes and delicate draping.
Thursday 30th September
17:00: Don't be fooled by the ladylike satin gloves and bouffant hair, Rokh's vision for SS22 has more edge with bare mid-riffs and leather dresses-cum-jackets.
15:30: Youth and rebellion seem to be top of mind with Raf Simons. Think skeleton hands for armbands, band tour t-shirts and moody fair isle knits. With Raf, it's always a show full of style tricks which are a harbinger of style trends to come...
13:00: Gabriella Hearst continues to inject craft into the heart of Chloé with tie dyed kaftans, fringed dresses and oversized accessories that point to the natural. We commend her approach to injecting sustainable production methods into a large French luxury house and hope this collection will be as commercially successful as it will be from the editors' standpoint.
11:00: With sky-scraping platforms, an abundance of extreme shoulder pads and a gothic colour palette, Rick Owen's SS22 collection was an inherent display of the brand's aesthetic. As he said to one reviewer, he wanted to make it the "most Rick Owens show" ever.
Wednesday 29th September
18:00: Shredded knits and touches of leather add an edge to a laid back yet sensual collection from Acne Studios.
12:00: Young designer Charles de Vilmorin - known for his illustrations - delivered a solid first collection as creative director of Rochas, injecting his love of colour and print into elegant silhouettes the French maison is known for.
9:00: Oversized coats may have opened the Courrèges show but what followed revealed a sexy-meets-cool collection of geometric cut out dresses, thigh-high boots and the odd slogan tee thrown in for good rock 'n' roll measure. Given so many brands are referencing 1960s Courrèges, perhaps for its rebellious connotations, it's great to see the brand under a new Creative Director taking charge of its own archive.
Tuesday 28th September
19:00: Saint Laurent was an assault on the senses, in only the best way. A perhaps more universal silhouette of boxy shoulders and easy jersey dresses and spandex leotards was styled with leather gloves and chunky gold jewellery, inspired by Yves' own impression of a young Paloma Picasso.
13:30: Block rainbow colours, thigh high hemlines and a pinch of 60s attitude appeared in Dior’s latest collection, a youthful interpretation of the Maison’s iconic tropes.
10:30: Mame Kurogouchi had their models walking through a cloud-like atmosphere, where pops of violet stood out against the neutral and translucent backdrop.
Monday 27th September
20:30: Marine Serre marries rural beauty and splendour in her short film OSTAL 24.
