    Brands are having to unveil their collections online and through film as part of Haute Couture week in Paris, a showcase of high-end craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind outfits, after the presentations usually attended by fashionistas from around the world were cancelled in the wake of the outbreak.

    The travelling miniatures echoed a format French couture houses last used during World War Two to try and keep collections going and reach customers. Chiuri said the label had sought to send the message that "traditions were alive" in Paris. Image Credit: Reuters
