Thomas Tait: In the industrial surrounds of a near condemned office block on London's Strand, Thomas Tait collaborated with master of perspective art, Frenchman Georges Rousse, on his spring show space.

Like Dior they called in production designers Bureau Betak, who used tinted Perspex screens in pop hues to manipulate the venue's natural sunlight.

Givenchy: Riccardo Tisci invited us back to high school assembly for his smouldering spring presentation.

The sports hall's court lines were left untouched however, for Tisci's vixens to stride over
