All the Jaw-Dropping Street Style Looks Direct From Couture Fashion Week

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week always provides the most jaw-droppingly good inspiration at such a terribly dull time of the year. As well as hosting the magic that unfolds on the runways, this is where the style industry's most elaborate peacocks come out to trial 2018's early trends and showcase a selection of ultra-luxe new designer investments (of course, it's still all about the "total look"). Decorative coats, new designer bags and princess dresses have all been key thus far. The City of Light looks rather different this time of year, and we had a fabulous photographer on the ground to capture it all. Go through the gallery to see Romina Introini's best shots.

Bum bags are trending even on the streets—although they're velvet and covered in crystals, obviously.

When is a coat not just a coat? When it's entirely embroidered in red poppies, that's when.
