Ariel Foxman tweeted a heartfelt, up-close shot of a Valentino gown. Anna Wintour got seated behind Grace Coddington (Mon Dieu!) and aside from the celeb-watching at Chanel, we’ve got some pics you’re not likely to see anywhere else that prove how serious the set designers were when they decided a faux supermarket was the best place to present the collection. Meanwhile, Alexander McQueen and Iris van Herpen kept their sets predictably moody. Finally, we get a break from the indoor finery and mayhem with a sunrise video of Paris courtesy of a top editor.
