Inside Fashion Week Roaring Fun at Saint Laurent The lights went down, and the runway went up — and up, and up, over the heads of the audience, to reveal an entire stadium-length sound system beneath. Then down it came,partway, and out the models stalked to the shrieks of “Pretty Boy,” written just for Saint Laurent by the Felines, an all-female garage punk band: fishnets ripped, hair akimbo. And they kept coming, in crinoline-lined distressed prom dresses and skintight leather minis, men’s wear jackets and sheer polka-dot shirts, sequined sheaths and multicolored fur chubbies —an army of morning-after Lolitas 53 strong with Hedi Slimane of Saint Laurent their puppet master. Not so much pretty boys as pretty babies after all. — VANESSA FRIEDMAN


Sonia Rykiel's Girls Lottie Moss, center, Kate Moss's half sister, made her catwalk debut today at Sonia Rykiel in Paris. The 17-year-old model has been featured in ads for Red Valentino and Calvin Klein, but this was her first time walking in a runway show. She shared the runway with fellow celebrity-legacy models, the Jaggers: Georgia May (left) and Lizzy (right.)

Black Patent Leather Coats Are Slicker Than Ever Patent leather, in all its glossy glory, has made a return to the runway in a big way for the fall/winter 2015 season — from a prim and proper skirt suit at Emilia Wickstead and J.W. Anderson’s ode to the ’80s in London to thigh-high boots at Versace. In Paris, especially, we’ve seen lots of black patent leather outerwear. First, Jonathan Anderson’s flirtation with the decade of excess at Loewe (right) included a loose coat. At Maison Margiela, (at left) John Galliano’s debut prêt-àporter collection for the brand featured a sleek, floor-grazing belted coat. Finally, at Dior, (center) Raf Simons’s interest in the material (as evidenced by his couture presentation in January) was again demonstrated by a netted black patent coat.— MALINA JOSEPH GILCHRIST
