Rick Owens S/S 2018 menswear show, an elaborate set involving lots of steps and scaffolding that Owens had constructed in the parvis of the Palais de Tokyo, his favorite building in the French capital: black ponchos were placed on the rows of seating around the courtyard’s fountain, to protect guests from jets of water soaring high into the sky.

Prada S/S 2018 Miuccia Prada plastered the walls of her brand’s runway set at its Milan HQ, Prada worked with AMO and swathed the immense Via Fogazzaro space with graphic novel-inspired illustrations by eight female graphic artists: Brigid Elva, Joëlle Jones, Stellar Leuna, Giuliana Maldini, Natsume Ono, Emma Ríos, Trina Robbins and Fiona Staples, plus archive illustrations by Tarpé Mills.

Louis Vuitton S/S 2018, Nicolas Ghesquière held the brand’s spring show in IM Pei-designed Cour Marly of the Louvre (Paris) subterranean Pavillion de l’Horloge. The space, which opened in 2013, boasts a medieval moat, and made a sublime setting for the brand’ history-focused collection.

Gucci S/S 2018 show, at its Piuarch-designed Gucci Hub in Milan, creative director Alessandro Michele created a space inspired by both an ancient map marking the country house location of the Roman poet Horace, and the graphic wayfinding system of the city’s Metro service. Around the set were 37 arches, pillars and statues, including carved Pharaohs, an Egyptian mummy and a variety of omnipotent Roman deities. Photography: Jason Lloyd-Evans
