From Chanel’s space shuttle launch to Louis Vuitton’s night at the museum, and everything in between, luxury’s heavy hitters ended Paris Fashion Week’s autumn-winter 2017/18 shows in style.

Kicking off the last day of Paris Fashion Week, Karl Lagerfeld took us inside his Space Odyssey, where he played with retro-futuristic style for Chanel, presenting looks which epitomise fashion’s twin-track evolution in the digital age – with one foot set in the past and another firmly planted in the future.

Inspired by space suits, Lagerfeld sent a range of structured, high-colour dresses and tops in metallic hues down the catwalk. Astronaut prints adorned airy dresses and boyish sweaters, and there were some sharply tailored sparkly numbers in electric red and violet paired with bejewelled headbands and glitter boots.

The collection’s styling had a flair reminiscent of Brigitte Bardot in the 1960s, which added some retro spin to Lagerfeld’s bourgeois outing.
