Where the New York and London shows had an emphasis of fun, theatre and colour, Paris Fashion Week had a bit more edge and attitude. (See the smoky-grey lids at Chanel and the kohl-rimmed eyes at Giambattista Valli.)
Meanwhile, there was a play on facial coverings at Paco Rabanne, Schiaparelli and Maison Margiela, which provided an element of the surreal. A more subtle sense of drama came courtesy of brow treatments, such as the eyebrow slits at Miu Miu and the drawn-on arches at Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood. Much like the Milan shows, there were various hair trends to note in Paris: witchy fringes at Balenciaga, strong centre-partings at Louis Vuitton, and dramatic feather headpieces at Yohji Yamamoto. Here are the hair and beauty trends you need to know from Paris Fashion Week SS21.

What you need to know:
Just like we’ve seen in London, Milan and New York, in Paris there was an emphasis on bold eyes. See Lucia Pica’s smoky-grey matte lids at Chanel for a dramatic yet clean look, or head to Giambattista Valli for a lesson in punk rock, courtesy of Isamaya Ffrench.
