Giles goes prehistoric at Paris fashion week

Could it be the move to Paris which made this season's collection so surprisingly wearable? Normally Giles produces a more 'couture' look - think the Pac-Man headgear a couple of seasons ago, or the bullet-shaped carapaces last season Photograph: Maya Vidon/EPA

There was a 'party girl' atmosphere to the whole collection, with shiny, metallic slim-fitting suits. Sometimes the look verged on 'children's party girl', what with the toy triceratops bags Photograph: Maya Vidon/EPA
