Paco Rabanne — the Spanish designer best known for his Space-Age aesthetic, use of metallics and swift-selling fragrances — has died at 88.

We all may have been in different places this week but you have definitely seen a couple of major fashion moments from Paris Haute Couture fashion week. Singer Doja Cat wearing the total-red outfit for the Schiaparelli show, Kylie Jenner arrived at the same venue wearing a dress with a huge Leo head (we believe Aslan from "Chronicles of Narnia" was the main inspiration), and Viktor&Rolf's show where dresses were separated from the model's body showing the women's emancipation from beauty standards.
