Dries van Noten Menswear
Autumn/winter 2014 is a quieter affair in terms of print. Designers who are usually firmly entrenched in that camp all but ditched it in favour of tonal colour combining. Case in point: print master Dries van Noten split his collection in to four key colour 'gangs' who strode out in co-ordinated packs Photograph: Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho
Alexander Wang/Carven/Ami
In sartorial terms camel is shorthand for elegance. The Paris collections were jam-packed with camel – not just the traditional overcoat. Ami was top to toe in camel knitwear and the season's new looser cut trouser silhouette. At Alexander Wang a punched leather camel baseball jacket proved it works as streetwear too Photograph: Kristy Sparow/Getty Images Europe

Gentlemen, if your arms are in coat sleeves next winter then you haven't paid attention. Shoulder robing has been the default styling trick this week in Paris. Sweeping into or out of a room with your coat perched cape-like on your shoulders is what's expected come autumn. All you need is good posture and a coat – easy!

Sacai/Acne Studio/Maison Martin Margiela
The trend for all things furry continued with a vengance in Paris. From the statement-making lambskin slipper shoes at Acne and the shaggy Yeti coat at Maison Martin Margiela to the beautiful tuft carpet coats at Valentino, it's a trend of extremes. You'll need one cuddly piece in your winter wardrobe. Our favourite piece is the green bomber jacket at Sacai Photograph: PR
Dior Homme/Yohji Yamamoto
School staples are going head to head for winter. Yohji Yamamoto worked his magic on the school boy's favourite, the duffle, with rope detailing that unravelled, while Dior Homme remixed it in denim and Valentino kept it traditional in charcoal grey. Luxury brands including Hermes reworked the parka in luxe fabrics and Dior Homme showed them over impeccably tailored suits – proof the business man has options beyond the overcoat Photograph: Victor Boyko/Getty Images Europe
Raf Simons autumn 2014
The fashion and art love-in shows no signs of abating. Raf Simons and Sterling Ruby took collaborating to a whole new level, having worked together in 2009 and also on a print used in Raf's debut haute couture collection for Dior. This epic autumn/winter menswear collection was a roaring success: coats featuring versions of Ruby's Bleach Collages were walking works of art Photograph: Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho
Junya Watanabe/Dries Van Noten
The perfect trend for those with commitment issues. Wash-out hair colours were seen at Yohji Yamamoto where models sported streaks of subtle hair chalk, while the gangs at Dries van Noten were marked with a strip of bold paint on their slicked-down hair and Junya Watanabe went for the full hair dye option, featuring purple and rust punks. Sun-in, anyone? Photograph: PR
Givenchy autumn 2014
Riccardo Tisci slam dunked basketball into the high fashion arena with his Bauhaus meets basketball collection for Givenchy. Models wore face nets that mimicked the beauty regimes of the Bauhaus era and echoed the mesh fence surrounding the 'court' set. An abstract print of court lines in typically Bauhaus colours (red, yellow, white) provided this season's cult sweatshirt design Photograph: Dominique Charriau/WireImage
Now that Kanye is turning his hand to design again – he has collaborated for a second time with APC – his place on the frow this season was filled by man in black (blue).

Valentino/Paul Smith
Persian rugs are trending, and models stepped out into opulent chandelier- and fresco-decorated venues for both Valentino and Paul Smith, the latter a musician's tour of Morocco, furnished with carpet bags, and the former a couture-toned outing featuring a beautiful tufted carpet print coat Photograph: PR
