At last, we’ve come to Paris, and the final week of Fashion Month. Despite how tired the international pack of models and editors must be, there was an astonishing amount of energy and tension visible in and around the first few days of shows. Cut photographer Dina Litovsky captured some telling moments at Dries Van Noten, where the golden bag above was the recipient of much aggression and an ironclad grip. Since designers never send their models out wearing bras, there were some racy moments at Balmain and Carven, while the Eiffel Tower made a magnificent (if phallic) backdrop for Rochas. Though nothing compared the glorious real women who danced at Rick Owens. Click on for all that and more in the slideshow ahead.
