One after the other, headline-grabbing moments from the fashion week kept us hooked. Let's take a quick look at its memorable moments!

Major highlights of Paris Fashion Week F/W 23-24

BLACKPINK member ROSÉ took the front-row seat atSaint Laurent's Fall/Winter 2023 presentation at PFW. The K-pop star looked gorgeous in a brown leather trench coat, black cut-out mini dress and diamante-buckle heels.

ROSÉ isn’t the only BLACKPINK member who's been spotted in Paris this season. We recently saw Jisoo attending Dior's F/W23 show in a vibrant purple gown.

Mark Tuan was seen at Yves Saint Laurent's show. He kept his look lowkey with YSL sunglasses that emphasized his chiselled jawline. Kim Do-Yeon also attended the YSL fashion show.

Pulling off gimmicks on the ramp has become quite a regular sight during fashion week. From Bella Hadid's spray-on dress to the latest PFW exhibit of Danish brand Heliot Emil's "on-flame" ensembles, labels have been taking their collections up a notch every year.

Heliot Emil, founded by brothers Julius and Victor Juul in 2016, is best known for unisex fashion. Before coming to Paris, the brand made itsfashion week debut in Milan. There the brandgarnered a lot of attention for being an experimental brand and pushing semantic dialogue within the fashion industry.

Walking across the otherworldly sand-scape, Naomi Campbell made her first autumn/winter 2023 appearance on the runway for the Off-White presentation. Anok Yai, Precious Lee and Adut Akech joined Campbell for the show. She was seen dressed ina form-fitting black dress that featured a halo neckline. She later closed the show in a bomber-dress hybrid. Her walk grabbed headlines and made us remember the '90s.

Kirandeep Chahal, who hails from Punjab, recently walked the ramp for Dior during PFW. She is doing another show for Dries Van Noten at the fashion week. Speaking to ETimes, she revealed, "I had to lose some pounds. My manager used to come to me for runs. I had to follow a very strict diet and came to Paris without any expectations. My experience was absolutely mind-blowing."

"It was so surreal. I was the only Indian girl to have walked yesterday for the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week and that makes me proud that I could represent my country here," she added.

During the Anrealage presentation at Paris Fashion Week, models walked in pairs and stood in front of a UV light which scanned them from top to bottom. Before everyone's eyes, these white garments suddenly changed colours,thanks to "experimental, photochromic materials" that the brand made itself.The crowd clapped and cheered for the collection and many compared it to the spray-on dress that Coperni did last season with Bella Hadid.

Robot dogs and models share runway

Coperni transported us to the world of super-robots as models shared the runway with canine automatons for Paris Fashion Week. Models, including Kate Moss's daughter Lila, posed amid five robots as part of a theatrical performance, inspired by a French Fable -Le Loup et l'Agneau, which translates toThe Wolf and The Lamb. Whilethe models represented the lambs, five robot dogs acted aswolves. The show, which was staged at the Théâtre National de la Danse,was reminiscent of Alexander McQueen's Spring 1999 presentation.
