Spectators of Haute Couture collections tend to fall into two camps (excluding 13-year-old Tavi, who is in a league of her own). They are either in the industry - think fashion editors/ex-models/pretty It girls, there to work and decorate the front row - or they are in the second group, the obscenely rich, there to buy these out-of-this-world creations. And the Haute Couture on display so far this week has not disappointed either camp.
Here we bring you a round-up of the highlights so far...
