Sequins and sheer fabrics at Valentino for Paris Fashion Week

Some muted colours were lifted by sparkles, while strong reds appeared to have replaced the Valentino pink of previous seasons.

Menswear featured nude colours in suits and more casual wear.

Structured gowns softened with drapes and pleats as well as shorts paired with sheer tops were also seen.

One model lost a shoe as she walked the runway at the show, with other models avoiding the discarded pair as they followed.
