Back by popular demand, Paris Fashion Week’s top model is none other than Kati Nescher. The 27-year-old Russian-born, German-raised beauty, who took New York and Milan, continued her tear in the city of light, landing the coveted opening look at Chanel. Need we remind you that Kaiser Karl typically reserves this slot for his favorite faces — cough, cough, campaign, cough? Nescher closed for Nina Ricci and Valentino, and made appearances on every major runway including Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Givenchy, YSL, Lanvin, and Alexander McQueen. But enough about her. You know who else had a great PFW? Karlie Kloss — since she decided to turn up and all. Click ahead to see all of Paris’s key opening and closing looks.
