During a portion of the show devoted to the style and silhouettes of the 1980s, models walked the Vogue World: Paris runway in Saint Laurent, Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garçons, Noir Kei Ninomiya and myriad other dynamic labels. They were joined by an enormous fleet of professional judokas and karatekas for a tribute to the martial arts – oh, and by Nika Taiko, a Paris-based Japanese drum group, dressed for the occasion in Issey Miyake.
At the centre of all of that excitement was Perry, a child of the ’80s herself, who stormed the cobblestone set in Noir Kei Ninomiya. (As we know, she loves a theme.) As if we needed any further proof, this isn’t just a woman’s world, but Katy’s world – we’re all just living in it.
