From serious-faced, conservatively dressed journalists crammed into the front-row seats to the gaggle of flamboyantly coloured, bejewelled celebrities piled into the centre of the runway, everyone was gathered to witness Haider Ackermann’s first collection for Berluti.

Just days before, Ackermann had presented his own autumn/winter 2017 collection to an approving audience at Paris Men’s Fashion Week.
