By the time Paris Fashion Week Men's reached its final days, the heat had become impossible to ignore.
A continent-might heatwave placed the French capital at the centre of an exceptional weather event, with temperatures reaching some 40 degrees.
Daytime slots were shifted into the early hours, ambulances and medical staff were positioned outside venues, and battery-powered fans punctured every front row.
As a menswear season grew to a close, the experience sharpened a wider concern about the long-term practicality of staging fashion weeks in mid-June, should temperatures like this be commonplace.
Its six-day calendar brought out the industry's major players, from Saint-Laurent, Dior and Celine, to Louis Vuitton, whose set transformed the runway into a beach before ending with a monumental crashing wave.
The label-steering fashion's more relentless cultural conversations were equally present.
Rick Owens sent out garments fitted with integral cooling, while Julian Klausner's airy debut at Dries Van Noten appeared particularly suited to the climate.
Wolejewari, meanwhile, reflected on the possibility of joy amid chaos and darkness.
The week also provided a platform for significant anniversaries and firsts.
Studio Nicholson founder Nick Wakeman presented the brand's inaugural catwalk show 16 years after launching it, while Kiko Kielostov celebrated a decade since founding his own label.
As the Paris menswear season comes to an end, we revisit the collections that defined it, from Jonathan Anderson's collage-like sample-led reinterpretation of Dior, to Michael Ryder's exceptional first menswear presentation for Celine, which brought the week to a close on Sunday.
