The opening night ended with a dynamic show by Julien Fournié. The French designer paid tribute to the 80s disco decade with Asian models sporting afro hair and eye-catching makeup. The playful mood of the show - dance tunes of Diana Ross and Stephanie Mills and candy pop colours of the designs - proved that serious Haute Couture can be a lot of fun.
