Paris Fashion week took a turn down the road of weird and wonderful with the Hells Bells collection by Indian fashion designer Manish Arora.
The New Delhi-based designer drew inspiration from an American TV series and a German confectionery company.
Arora’s range went from classic Americana with snake skin cowboy boots and prairie skirts to Rockabilly pin ups and African wax-print fabrics.
Outfits were decorated with fur trim, feathers and sinister jewelled face masks complementing good old fashioned American style and his surrealistic touches.
From surrealism to chic and cheerful, Christophe Guillarmé entitled his winter collection “Psyche”.
