STORY: An elegant yet austere Guy Laroche ready-to-wear collection marched onto the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday (February 26).

"This collection is the opposite of flamboyant, ostentatious, at the same time it's for me total luxury, the fabrics are incredible, but they're very understated," he said.

Soft blues and yellows on flowing dresses mixed with brutal waxy black leather jackets and sharp shirt collars, as tomboy met chic under the glass roof of Paris's Grand Palais.
