The second day of Paris Fashion Week brought shiny pink florals and space age-y sunglasses at Rochas, accessorized with tiny cross-body purses. Dries Van Noten showed ornately-detailed jackets and, in a new twist on this season’s skirt trend, peplum pants. Meanwhile, Gareth Pugh showed geometric, boxy shapes with futuristic white eye paint. See all the shows, plus lots of detail shots, in our runway galleries.
