'Luxury of course is the biggest thing about this collection and you can really see this in the fabrics and materials - the 70s was a time when Paris was "on the up",' says Jones. 'We have croc, lizard, astrakhan, camel, cashmere and shearling to reflect this' Photograph: Christophe Ena/AP

'The croc blouson with shearling collar is a key, luxury piece.' And it's nice from behind too. Photograph: Christophe Ena/AP

'Vuitton is really well set up for super-technical, super-luxury outerwear, and this is something we've really played to this season,' reveals Jones Photograph: Christophe Ena/AP
